Akshay Kumar earns Rs 110 crore in just 7 months without a single shot on camera, here's how

India.com20 hours ago
Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has been busy at the box office in 2025, with three films already hitting theatres in the first six months and more lined up. But away from the silver screen, he's been making big moves in real estate.
Over the last seven months, the actor has earned a staggering Rs 110 crore — all from selling his properties. Which high-profile property was sold?
According to IndexTap documents, Akshay and his wife, Twinkle Khanna, sold their plush apartment in the Oberoi Three Sixty West project, located in Mumbai's Worli, for Rs 80 crore. This luxury property was one of the most talked-about transactions in the city's real estate circles this year. What about his Borivali apartments?
As per Square Yards documents, Akshay sold multiple units in Oberoi Sky City, Borivali (East). A 3BHK apartment measuring 1,073 sq ft went for Rs 4.25 crore.
Another 3BHK unit, with two parking spaces, fetched Rs 4.35 crore in March 2025.
Two connected residential properties in the same complex sold for Rs 7.10 crore.
Two more apartments were sold for Rs 6.60 crore in total — one priced at Rs 5.35 crore and the other at Rs 1.35 crore. Did he sell any commercial space?
Yes. According to Hindustan Times, Akshay sold his office located in One Place Lodha Complex, Lower Parel, for Rs 8 crore earlier this year. Why is this making news?
In just a few months, Akshay has made multiple high-value real estate deals, making him one of the most active celebrity property sellers of the year. While his films continue to pull crowds, his knack for strategic investments and timely sales is proving equally headline-worthy.
From luxury apartments in Worli to prime commercial space in Lower Parel and multiple residential units in Borivali, Akshay Kumar's property portfolio has undergone a serious reshuffle in 2025, with Rs 110 crore flowing in from sales alone.

Saiyaara: Not Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda, Sidharth Malhotra-Kiara Advani were the first choice; here's what went wrong

Yesterday, Saiyaara recorded its lowest day since release as it earned around Rs 2.75 crore and now stands with a total collection of Rs 308.25 crore. read more Saiyaara, featuring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, shattered several records at the box office. The romantic musical drama became the first movie to cross the Rs 300 crore mark, which is headlined by newcomers. While the first two weeks, Saiyaara trended phenomenally well at the ticket windows, it was impacted by \_Mahavatar Narsimha\_, which gained momentum from strength to strength on every passing day at the box office. Yesterday, Saiyaara recorded its lowest day since release as it earned around Rs 2.75 crore and now stands with a total collection of Rs 308.25 crore. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But now as per multiple reports, it is being said that not Ahaan and Aneet, but Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani were the makers' first choices but things didn't materialize. It's said the Shershaah actor's look test didn't really go as smooth as expected and the director Mohit Suri put his point forward. With the global collections of Rs 486 crore, Saiyaara has crossed Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff's War (Rs 475.62), the film is expected to surpass its domestic collections (Rs 318.01 crore) by the end of its 4th weekend. Not only fans and audiences, Saiyaara garnered praise from celebs like Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Aamir Khan, Mahesh Babu, Arjun Kapoor, Ameesha Patel, Siddharth Anand, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Karan Johar, Anurag Basu and Anil Kapoor, among others, for its storyline, direction and performances. Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about Saiyaara's comparison with Aashiqui 2 in an interview with Firstpost. He said, 'When I made Zeher, they said it looked like Murder. When I made Ek Villain, they said it looked like Murder 2. When I made Malang, they said it looked like Ek Villain. When I made Aashiqui 2, they said it looked like Woh Lame and Rockstar. So I think when I go ahead and make my next film, they'll say it looks like Saiyaara. I think when they're comparing it to my own work rather than somebody else's, it's good.'

Why does Australia want more foreign students a year after curbs? Who will benefit?

Australia is seeking to attract more international students, a year after a cap on enrolments. The Albanese government has decided to raise the limit on the number of foreign students by nine per cent to 2,95,000 from 2026, a jump from the current 2,70,000. Here's who will benefit read more Students walk past stalls during the orientation week at The University of Sydney, in Camperdown, Australia, February 15, 2023. File Photo/Reuters Australia wants more international students, a year after limiting enrolment. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's government on Monday (August 4) announced that it will increase its cap on foreign students by nine per cent to 295,000 next year. The move is set to benefit students from Southeast Asia, who will reportedly be given preference. This comes after Australia slashed enrolments in 2024 due to record migration. Then why is Australia increasing the cap on foreign students now? We will explain. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Australia to raise foreign student cap Australia is lifting its cap on foreign students from next year to 295,000, a jump from the current 270,000. An addition of 25,000 placements will be offered for universities in 2026, with applicants from Southeast Asia being prioritised, reported Reuters. Around two-thirds of places will be up for grabs in universities and one-third in the vocational skills training sector. Universities can apply to have their allotments increased if they can show that domestic and international students have 'access to safe and secure housing' and enrol more students from Southeast Asia to raise their individual allocations, as per the report. This comes amid the Australian government's efforts to boost relations with Southeast Asia — its strategic partner — and reduce the country's economic dependence on China. Australia is one of the top destinations for international students. File Photo/Reuters It was important 'for Australia's future soft power that we continue to bring the best and brightest from our (Southeast Asian) neighbours to have a bit of Australia with them for the rest of their life,' Australian International Education Assistant Minister Julian Hill told national broadcaster ABC. The cap does not apply to international students who shift from secondary schools in Australia to publicly funded universities or TAFE (technical and further education). Why Australia curbed foreign student enrolment in 2024 In 2024, the Labor government introduced caps on foreign student numbers to 270,000. To curb migration, Australia also more than doubled the visa fee for international students to A$2,000 (approximately Rs 1.14 lakh) and slowed visa processing. This came as some claimed that record levels of migration led to a surge in housing prices. Ahead of this year's May elections, the Albanese government aimed to improve housing affordability and ease the cost-of-living crisis. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'What this means is next year there will be about the same number of international students starting a course here as there were before the pandemic,' Education Minister Jason Clare had said last August. 'There'll be more in our universities and there'll be fewer in our private vocational providers.' Australia had granted roughly 600,000 student visas in the 2023 financial year, as overseas students flooded the country after the pandemic. The country received more than 257,000 student visa applications in 2024-25, with just over 234,000 granted, reported, citing Department of Home Affairs data. What's behind the change now? Education is Australia's fourth biggest export, with the country seeing one of the highest numbers of international students globally. Foreign students boost Australia's economy. They shell out nearly twice as much as Australian students on average, propping up some institutions and domestic study fees, as per BBC. Australia's international education sector is worth A$50 billion to the economy each year and provides a quarter of a million jobs. It contributed over A$51 billion to the economy in 2024. Last year, Australia's top eight universities had criticised the government's proposed caps on foreign enrolments, saying they are 'reliant' on international student fees. For example, foreign students make up over 40 per cent of the revenue of the University of Sydney. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Australia's largest source of international students is China and India. Now, Australia is back to accepting more international students. Education Minister Clare acknowledged that the international education sector is an 'incredibly important export' to Australia, but added that its growth has to be managed to ensure its sustainability. 'International education doesn't just make us money, it makes us friends. This is about making sure international education grows in a way that supports students, universities and the national interest. 'The new planning level gives the sector certainty to continue delivering a high-quality educational experience to international students, while addressing national priorities,' he said. The government's crackdown on migration was 'bearing fruit', allowing for a modest increase in the cap in 2026, International Education Assistant Minister Hill said. 'The numbers were growing out of control. The government has taken tough decisions over the last 12 months, not always loved by the sector, to get the numbers down and get them to a more sustainable footing,' he told ABC. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Universities Australia hailed the 'sensible' hike in places. 'Universities have called for growth in this critically important sector, and the government has honoured this,' CEO Luke Sheehy was quoted as saying by Reuters. With inputs from agencies

Mumbai rent stuns Reddit user as 1BHK in Goregaon starts at Rs 42,000

A Reddit post by a user preparing to relocate to Mumbai has gone viral after voicing a concern that several residents quietly share: the soaring rent in the Maximum post, titled 'Moving to Mumbai and the rent prices have me stunned,' triggered a discussion about the city's housing crisis, especially in areas like Goregaon.'I'm relocating to Mumbai this month, and the cost of housing has honestly left me stunned,' the user said, explaining their struggle to find a decent 1BHK in Goregaon West or nearby, even in older 'Rs 42,000 seems to be the starting point, and that's for older properties! One of the brokers literally laughed when I told him my budget was Rs 35-38k,' the user having lived in Mumbai before, the user expressed disbelief at the spike in rental rates, saying, 'The prices seem to have shot up while the infrastructure feels worse. Just my opinion, of course, I could be wrong.'Take a look at the post here: The post, meanwhile, attracted responses from locals and other newcomers who shared their thoughts and suggested the user look at nearby areas like Malad West for slightly better deals, while others cautioned against moving too far from major transit points due to Mumbai's notorious traffic and limited last-mile connectivity.'Depends on locality and society. Move a bit outwards and don't believe brokers,' one user advised. But another countered, 'With auto and bus issues and traffic, I feel one should not move outwards. Being near a railway station helps.'Goregaon, once a mid-range suburb, has seen rapid development in recent years, driven by projects like the Westin Hotel and the Morgan Stanley office. 'Goregaon has developed massively. It's a prime location now,' another user even advised the user to consider other cities altogether. 'Try and find a job in Delhi-NCR, Pune and Hyderabad. The stress and financial burden of living in Mumbai is not worth it,' another user added.- EndsMust Watch
