Born to Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan started his career with JP Dutta’s Refugee in 2000. The actor, who is best known for movies like Guru, Yuva, and Sarkar, is gearing up for Akshay Kumar-starrer Housefull 5. Amid his separation rumors from his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, if a report is to be believed, Abhishek and his dad, Big B, have purchased properties worth a whopping Rs 24.95 crore in Mumbai. 

According to the report by CNBC TV18, Abhishek Bachchan has recently bought properties worth Rs 24.95 crore in Mulund West, Mumbai. His dad, Amitabh Bachchan, is a co-investor in these 10 properties.

The report cites registration documents accessed by Square Yards, a real-estate website, and suggests that their properties are located in Oberoi Realty’s premium residential project, Eternia. 

Out of these 10 apartments, eight of them boast carpet areas of 1,049 square feet (sq. ft.) each. The remaining two apartments are spread across 912 square feet. Each transaction has two car parking spaces.

The Bachchans reportedly paid a stamp duty of Rs 1.5 crore for these 10 properties. While Abhishek invested in six apartments for approximately Rs 14.77 crore, his 82-year-old father bought four for nearly Rs 10.18 crore.
