Dubai Strengthens Bollywood Ties with SRK’s Palm Jumeirah Mansion and Bachchans’ Sanctuary Falls Villa
Dubai has emerged as a significant second home for Bollywood celebrities, offering enticing tax benefits, privacy, and luxury living conditions. As an increasing number of Indian film stars invest in properties across the emirate, the allure of Dubai as a premier destination is more palpable than ever.
Shah Rukh Khan: Jannat
Shah Rukh Khan, a major figure in Bollywood, established his presence in Dubai with his villa, “Jannat,” situated on the exclusive K-Frond of Palm Jumeirah. This property, a gift from the city’s developers, features a private beach and a pool, coupled with interiors designed by Gauri Khan. In 2026, Khan further cemented his connection to Dubai by launching “Shahrukhz by Danube,” a remarkable 55-storey business tower located on Sheikh Zayed Road, enhancing his influence in the city’s architecture and business landscape.
Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: Sanctuary Falls at the Jumeirah Golf Estates
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan opted for the serene lifestyle of Sanctuary Falls within the Jumeirah Golf Estates. Since acquiring this palatial villa in 2015 for approximately ₹16 crores, the couple has enjoyed its advanced home automation features and an intimate cinema designed by Bang & Olufsen. Additionally, reports indicate that the family owns a larger mansion in Emirates Hills, accommodating bigger gatherings.
Salman Khan: The Address Downtown
Salman Khan’s luxurious lifestyle in Dubai centers around his residence at The Address Downtown, conveniently located near the iconic Burj Khalifa. This lavish apartment serves as his base for business meetings and socializing during his visits to the UAE for various events.
Shilpa Shetty: Palm Jumeirah
Shilpa Shetty’s ties to Dubai real estate are well-documented. Initially, her husband, Raj Kundra, gifted her an apartment on the 19th floor of the Burj Khalifa for their wedding anniversary in 2010. However, as their family expanded, they realized the need for additional space and privacy, leading them to sell that apartment and transition to a spacious villa on Palm Jumeirah, which now serves as their preferred holiday retreat.
Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash: Danube Properties
The trend of Bollywood stars acquiring real estate in Dubai isn’t limited to seasoned actors. Television personalities Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash became part of this trend in 2022, purchasing a fully-furnished apartment in a Danube Properties development for around ₹2 crores. One of their apartment’s standout features includes a private plunge pool on the balcony.
As of early 2026, notable figures in the industry such as Sanjay Dutt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt have also strengthened their connections with Dubai. Sanjay Dutt, a pioneer in obtaining a UAE Golden Visa, spends considerable time at his Dubai mansion. Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have recently emerged as key ambassadors for luxury developments in Downtown Dubai, indicating that the upcoming generation of Bollywood stars is equally dedicated to the city’s growth.
