From Mukesh Ambani’s son Anant’s record-breaking palace to Shilpa Shetty’s beach-front fortress, check out these famous Indian celebrities who have planted their flag in Dubai’s sand.
1. Shilpa Shetty – From Burj Khalifa Heights to Palm Jumeirah Shores
Back in 2010, Shilpa’s husband, Raja Kundra, gifted her an extravagant anniversary gift, which was a whopping Rs. 50 crore apartment in Burj Khalifa. Since their family got extended and so did their needs and aspirations, they wanted more space, hence the couple upgraded to a Palm Jumeirah beach villa with a private beach and a garage filled with luxury vehicles. Besides many other luxuries that they posses, Shilpa is a fitness enthusiast and mostly eats homemade food; hence, she also has a traditional tandoor in her kitchen.

However, he made headlines in 2022 by purchasing Dubai’s most expensive residential property, an opulent ₹640-crore villa on Palm Jumeirah. The 3,000-sq-ft residence has ten bedrooms, twin swimming pools, and a 70-meter private beach, and this was a wedding gift for son Anant and his fiancée, Radhika Merchant. From Italian marble imported across continents to instant 5G Wi-Fi, every detail reflects Ambani-grade luxury.
