EXCLUSIVE: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan buy a plush apartment in New York
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan acquire a new property in New York.
Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan have been holidaying in New York City for the last month along with Ash’s mom Vrinda and their daughter Aaradhya at their newly-acquired apartment in the city at Manhattan. While AB Jr is back in Mumbai, Ash, Aaradhya and Vrinda are expected to return this week.
The Bachchans have homes all over the world, apart from owning space in Mumbai. Abhishek and Aishwarya own a palatial villa (with landscape gardens and a resort style swimming pool) in Dubai’s Sanctuary Falls in Jumeirah Golf Estates while Amitabh and Jaya have an apartment in a French town. In 2011, after celebrating their wedding anniversary in Paris, Amitabh Bachchan had gifted Jaya a house in a quiet town close to Paris.
Says a source, “Ash and Abhishek bought the apartment in NYC more than a year ago. Only people in the family and close friends know about it as the couple don’t want their privacy to be invaded. It’s a beautiful and spacious apartment with a great view of Central Park. CP is very close and the Bachchans love going for a walk there. They have been spotted by many while roaming around the city or Ash and Aaradhya on a swing. The apartment has been tastefully done up by Aishwarya who has done up their Dubai villa too. They were there for a month but now Abhishek has returned as the Pro Kabaddi League starts from next week. Ash and the rest of the family will return within this week.”
According to the source, “After their month-long break, Ash and Abhishek will immerse themselves in their respective work. The fifth season of the Pro Kabaddi League, owned by Abhishek is starting from July 28 and preparations are underway in the team camps and he has always been a hands-on owner. After Ash will come back she will get involved in the prep and training of her next film Fanney Khan with Anil Kapoor. She is playing a diva in the film and an extremely glamorous role so obviously she will be working towards it. It’s a complete contrast from her de-glam look in Sarbjit and will have her wearing the hottest of outfits and styling – something inspired by Hollywood models and top actresses. Aishwarya will also attend workshops with Anil and director Atul Manjrekar to get into the skin of her character.”
Interestingly, while both Abhishek and Ash were present in NYW, both avoided the IIFA awards which were held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey last week. The source adds that after Amitabh Bachchan had parted ways with the IIFA organizers six years ago, the Bachchans had taken a conscious decision to avoid the event since then. Buzz was that Amitabh Bachchan, who had been the brand ambassador of IIFA for over a decade, was extremely hurt by IIFA's decision to hold the awards in 2010 in Sri Lanka. He had even tweeted, “We are not coming to IIFA ... IIFA said our services are not required!” Since then the Bachchans have given IIFA a miss.
