Akshay Kumar has a land fetish

Kumar is probably the only leading Bollywood hero who has invested so much in real estate. Does this mean he’s turning realtor soon?

At a time when superstar Shah Rukh Khan is busy acquiring stakes in smaller companies, actor Akshay Kumar is apparently investing his money where he is guaranteed the best returns. According to sources, the actor is keen to acquire more property, not only in India but also abroad. Kumar apparently also wants to develop some of the properties that he acquires.

Currently, Kumar is one of the few B-town actors who has probably acquired a lot of properties, both in the country and overseas. In fact, only recently there were reports that the actor wants to buy an entire hill for himself in Canada.

“Akshay is keen on acquiring more property. For obvious reasons nobody would be able to procure the details of the entire list of properties that he owns, but anybody working with him will know that he owns a house in Lokhandwala, a bungalow in Juhu and a plush duplex in Bandra. We don’t know for sure if he has more properties in the city but we know that he has bought some land in the outskirts, where he plans to build a holiday home. But we are not sure about it,” says a source.

Kumar has also been investing in properties outside Mumbai and another recent purchase, sources say, is on Anjuna beach in Goa. “There’s a beautiful Portuguese bungalow near Anjuna beach and his wife Twinkle was keen on buying the property. Akshay decided to buy it immediately for her. It’s bang on the beach,” says the source.

The actor has also bought a couple of properties in Canada (other than the hill that he reportedly just purchased) which includes plush apartments and a Bungalow. “He has some properties in Canada and we know about an apartment that he has bought there too. He might have one more bungalow there,” the source adds.

Is there any other country where the actor has invested in property? Well, there is. Apparently Kumar has also invested in a holiday home in Mauritius. “We have heard that he has bought a property on a famous Mauritian beach. It’s a beautiful bungalow,” the source says.
