Many Bollywood stars rent their houses, contrary to popular belief. Work flexibility, avoiding long-term commitments, or not finding the “right” house are reasons. I find it more intriguing that they pay lakhs or more every month.
Contrary to popular belief, not all famous actors buy enormous houses in Mumbai. Several notable Bollywood superstars still live in leased homes. Reasons vary, such as career flexibility, avoiding long-term commitments, or just not finding the "right" house.
What's more remarkable is the amount they pay, which frequently runs into lakhs or more every month. Here are nine well-known names who are said to live on rent.
