Kartik Aaryan buys house where he once lived as paying guest

Kartik Aaryan has bought a new flat in Versova. What makes the purchase more special is the fact that it’s the same house that he lived in as a paying guest when he moved to Mumbai from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. Reportedly, he lived in this apartment during his struggling days and even shared it with a few other guys. According to documents accessed by this newspaper, the Luka Chuppi star has paid Rs 1.60 crore for the pad in Rajkiran Co-op Housing Society on Yari Road. The flat’s carpet area is 459 sqft (total 551 sqft) and it’s on the fifth floor of the building. 

Kartik signed the deal for his new property in the second half of May, and paid Rs 9.60 lakh as stamp duty for its registration. The documents also have his mother Mala Tiwari’s name and mention his hometown Gwalior as their address. We contacted Kartik’s team for his confirmation but there was no response till the time of going to press.
