“Hrithik Roshan Lets His 12,000-sq-ft Sea-Facing Mumbai Apartment to Saba Azad at Deeply Discounted Rent”
IIE DIGITAL DESK : Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan has drawn attention with a notable real estate move—renting out his expansive sea-facing apartment in Mumbai’s Mannat Apartments (Vartamaan) to his partner, Saba Azad, for just ₹75,000 per month. While the property spans an impressive 12,000 square feet across three levels—the 18th floor plus a duplex comprising the 19th and 20th floors—such a rate stands in stark contrast to Mumbai’s prevailing luxury rental market. The leave-and-license agreement, signed on August 4, 2025, also includes a refundable deposit of ₹1.25 lakh, .
Purchased in October 2020 for around ₹97.5 crore from builder Samir Bhojwani, the sea-facing complex sits along the upscale Juhu-Versova Link Road. Despite being one of the most coveted locales in the city, rental rates for such properties typically range far higher. Brokers estimate that 3BHK apartments of just 1,000–1,300 square feet on the same road command between ₹1 lakh and ₹2 lakh per month.
To underscore the anomaly, a 3,600 square feet unit in the same building was leased in 2023 for ₹10 lakh per month—a figure more than ten times what Saba is paying. Thus, Roshan’s arrangement effectively slashes the expected market rent by a dramatic margin.
This isn’t the only property transaction involving Roshan in 2025. Early in the year, he rented out a 2,727 square feet commercial space in Goregaon for ₹5.62 lakh per month. In another instance, he renewed a lease on a 9,209 square feet commercial property in Pune’s Kharadi area at ₹6.08 lakh per month. Additionally, in May, he and his father Rakesh Roshan sold three residential apartments in Andheri for a combined ₹6.75 crore.
The story also draws broader attention to the design and ambiance of the apartment itself. Featuring an open layout enriched with natural light, ocean views, and a nautical-inspired aesthetic, the space reportedly reflects Hrithik’s love for the sea. Architectural highlights include sea-themed décor, creative custom furnishings, and playful elements like a foosball table and vending machine—sophisticated touches that transform it into both a personal retreat and artistic expression.
As for the individuals involved, Hrithik Roshan is among India’s most popular actors known for films like Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, Koi… Mil Gaya, and the War franchise. Saba Azad is a multifaceted artist—actor, singer, theatre director, and one half of the music duo Madboy/Mink, active since 2008 and known for several indie film and web series roles. The couple has been together since 2022.
Taken together, this arrangement speaks to the influence of personal dynamics in real estate decisions—where relational nuances override financial logic. A 12,000 sq ft, sea-facing luxury space in prime Mumbai real estate, leased at just ₹75,000 a month—this rental agreement is clearly more of a personal concession than a business one. It also offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of one of Bollywood’s elite, where real estate is both symbolic and functional, blending public interest with personal generosity.
