Dimple herself was living on a prime property on Juhu Beach, which had been leased from the Birlas decades ago. It is said Yash Birla moved court and Dimple’s mother Betty, who was the only one staying in the Kapadia bungalow after the actress lost her siblings, has reportedly vacated the place. She is now said to be living in her elder daughter’s flat in Juhu itself. Shah Rukh Khan bought his first house on Mumbai’s Carter Road in a building called Amrit from Rajesh Khanna. Sonu Sood bought his Casablanca apartment from Urmila Matondkar. He later went on to buy two more flats in the same building.
