Celebrity clientele
For decades, Mumbai’s property market has attracted its share of interest from celebrities based in the city as a preferred area of investment, especially commercial properties. The long list in this set of clientele features several marquee names, including some from the younger generation such as actors Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan.
