In 2007, Sachin purchased an old villa called ‘Dorab Villa’ from a Parsi family for around Rs. 35 Crores, and reportedly the price has gone up to over 78 crores INR.
It took around four years to complete its construction, and Sachin’s family moved into this new bungalow in 2011.
This beautiful bungalow is at Perry Cross in Suburban Bandra (West). It spreads across 6000 sq. feet, facing the Arabian Sea. A lot of many celebrities love this location, and rightly so. I mean, who wouldn’t love to be living here.
In an interview, Sachin said, “Everyone has a dream of owning a house. I, too, had this dream. I am happy that I was able to fulfill it. The flat where I earlier used to live, I had received it under the sports quota. I have now vacated that place so that some other sportsman can live there”.
In 2017, he had purchased a lavish apartment worth INR 7.15 crores at that time and had given a gift to his wife, Anjali Tendulkar. It is located in Mumbai at the luxurious Rustomjee Seasons in Bandra Kurla Complex or BKC.
