Mumbai: Bollywood actor Salman Khan may soon move out of his long-time residence at Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, where he has lived for decades. According to sources, the actor is expected to shift into a newly approved six-storey sea-facing residence once construction is completed.
The reported move comes amid continued security concerns following threats allegedly linked to the Bishnoi gang and the firing incident outside Galaxy Apartments in 2024. However, Salman Khan and his team have not issued any official statement on the development so far.
Sources said Salman Khan has been planning a new residence on a plot in Bandra’s Chimbai area. The proposed six-storey property has reportedly received approval from the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority, which cleared the project on June 16.
The new house will come up a short distance from Galaxy Apartments, where Salman Khan has been living since 1974. Once completed, sources claimed the actor may relocate there with his family.
The possible relocation has drawn attention as Salman Khan has faced multiple security threats in recent years.
In 2024, two motorcycle-borne attackers opened fire outside Galaxy Apartments. Investigators later linked the accused to the Bishnoi gang. Following the incident, Salman Khan’s security was strengthened and upgraded to Y+ category.
The balcony from where the actor often greeted fans was also reinforced with bulletproof glass after the firing incident.
According to sources, the upcoming residence will be built on land owned by Salman Khan’s mother, Salma Khan.
The plot earlier had a two-storey structure that was reportedly built before 1956. After purchasing the property, the family demolished the old building due to its deteriorating condition.
The approved development will include a ground floor, stilt parking and six upper floors. The total built-up area is expected to be around 1,014 square metres.
The project will be developed by Sach Developers. Sources said the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation had already issued the Initial Order of Development for the project in October 2025.
Sources said construction of the new residence will not require the felling of any trees. Instead, native tree species will be planted within and around the property as part of the development.
Located on a quieter lane away from the main road, the new house is expected to offer Salman Khan and his family greater privacy and enhanced security compared to Galaxy Apartments.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from Salman Khan or his representatives regarding the reported relocation.
