Cricketer KL Rahul also made headlines with a property purchase involving his father-in-law, actor Suniel Shetty.

Documents showed that the three apartments measure close to 2,000 sq ft and have been sold in two different buildings. In the first transaction, Rakesh Roshan sold a 1,025 sq ft apartment in a building named Veejays Niwas CHS Limited in Andheri West. The property, along with two parking spaces, was sold to Sonali Ajmera for Rs. 3.75 crore. The transaction was registered on May 25, 2025 and involves a stamp duty payment of Rs. 18.75 lakh and registration charges of Rs. 30,000, documents show. In the second transaction, Rakesh Roshan sold a 625 sq ft apartment in a building named Raheja Classique in Andheri West for Rs. 2.20 crore to three individuals named Jeevan Bhavanani, Shilpa Wadhwani, and Gaurav Wadhwani.

Also Read: Amitabh Bachchan expands real estate portfolio in Ayodhya with 25,000 sq ft land purchase worth nearly ₹40 crore He expanded his real estate footprint in Ayodhya, home to the Ram Mandir, this year with the purchase of another land parcel recently, this time a 25,000 sq ft plot adjacent to The Sarayu, a luxury plotted development by Mumbai-based real estate firm The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) for around ₹40 crore.

The duo purchased a 1,200-square feet property in Mumbai for ₹8.01 crore through a bank auction, property registration documents accessed through proptech platform Square Yards showed. According to the documents, the property is located in Khar West (Bandra) neighbourhood of the financial capital. It was a 'Sale Certificate' and the property was acquired by the father and son through a bank auction purchase, Square Yards said. In April this year, cricketer KL Rahul and his father-in-law Bollywood actor, Suniel Shetty, jointly acquired a seven acre land parcel in Owale at Thane West, near Mumbai, for Rs. 9.85 crore, according to property registration documents accessed by Square Yards. According to financial experts, joint property purchases among family members, whether between father and son, husband and wife, or any two individuals, can offer several advantages, particularly from a tax perspective. 'There are no exclusive tax benefits for a father and son buying property together, but there are general advantages,' an expert explains. 'One key benefit is that the property becomes a joint asset with shared liability, which can be strategically useful for tax planning.' In the event of the father's death, co-ownership also enables the son to automatically inherit the property without the need for probate or a will, making the process faster and legally simpler. Increasingly, families are opting for joint ownership to avoid future legal complications and streamline the inheritance process, the expert said. According to Aditya Zantye, a Mumbai-based chartered accountant, 'Whether it is a father-son duo or a husband and wife, any rental income generated from the property is considered joint income. This serves both a legal purpose and offers benefits from a taxation standpoint.'
