Reports say Bollywood actor Salman Khan is planning to leave his long-time residence, Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai, after years of living there. Multiple outlets report that the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) has granted clearance on June 16 for a new project in Bandra’s Chimbai area. The proposed development is described as a six-storey, sea-facing residential building. One account says the plot is registered under Salman Khan’s mother’s name and that the new structure is planned a few hundred metres from Galaxy Apartments. Sources also describe the approved layout as including a ground floor, stilt parking, and six upper floors.
The move is widely linked in reporting to heightened security concerns following a firing incident outside Galaxy Apartments on April 14, 2024. Outlets say Salman’s security was increased after the attack, which was allegedly connected to Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang. While most stories describe this as a factor behind the relocation plan, none of the provided reports indicate an official confirmation from Salman Khan or authorities about him actually moving out. Construction is described as expected to begin following the clearance.
