Many Bollywood celebs investing in property of late
Of late several Bollywood stars including Manoj Bajpayee, Sarah Ali Khan and Kartik Aryan have been in the news for investing in commercial properties instead of residential ones for a better rental yield.
The major reason for this trend of Bollywood stars investing in commercial real estate is because commercial assets have a higher rental yield than residential properties, according to experts. Commercial properties like offices, retail, and warehouses usually have gross yields in the range of 6-10 percent in metro cities, according to CBRE India, a real estate consultancy firm.

In the past, Bollywood actor Salman Khan leased out 27,650 square feet (sq ft) of space spread over four floors to TNSI Retail Private Limited, a subsidiary of Future Retail Limited, in Mumbai, at a rent of around Rs 89.6 lakh per month in 2022.
In 2021 Director Karan Johar had rented out two commercial properties in the name of his production house Dharma Productions for Rs 17.56 lakh and Rs 6.15 lakh per month.
