Salman Khan will reportedly move out of Galaxy Apartments, where his family has lived since 1974. MCZMA had granted permission on June 16 to build a six-storey sea-facing bungalow in Bandra’s Chembai area. The move is said to be linked to repeated threats from Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang.
For over five decades, Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai, has held a very special place in the hearts of the Khan family. Salim Khan, the legendary screenwriter behind Sholay, moved into the first floor of the building in 1974 with his wife Salma Khan and their five children. Over the years, most of the children flew the nest and settled elsewhere, but Salman chose to stay and continues to live there with his parents to this day.
But change is on the horizon for the family. A recent report revealed that Salman is currently building a stunning six-storey sea-facing townhouse which will serve as the family’s new home in the near future.

The report also revealed that the plot of land on which the new property will be built was purchased in 2011 by Salman’s mother, Salma, also known as Sushila Charak.

The history behind Salman Khan’s new plot in Bandra
The plot of land that Salma bought was originally owned by Marie Clotilde Baptista, and changed hands several times before the Khan family finally bought it in 2011. The property had a small two-story house, but as the structure had fallen into very poor condition over the years, the family decided to demolish it.
