Last week, it was reported that Salman Khan had received approval to construct a new six-storey residential building in Bandra.
While there has been no official confirmation about the Salman’s family moving out of Galaxy Apartments, it was reported that the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) approved the construction proposal on 16th June.
Back in 2017, Salman Khan had also shared why he loved living in a flat rather than a bungalow. He had said on one of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs’s episodes, “I love staying at my flat in Bandra over a big, luxurious bungalow because my parents live in the flat above mine. Ever since I was a child, I have taken the same left turn or right turn, and I would not have it any other way. The entire building is like one big family. When we were little, all the kids from the building would play together in the garden below and sometimes even sleep there. Back then, there weren’t different houses; all the houses were treated as our own, and we would go into anyone’s house to eat food. I still stay in the same flat because I have countless memories attached to that house.”
