Why Salman loves to stay at Galaxy Apartments?Despite his immense fame, Salman cherishes this modest setting as it holds many childhood memories. In a past interview with IANS, Salman had expressed his preference for living in Galaxy Apartments over more extravagant mansions, “I love staying at my flat in Bandra over a big, luxurious bungalow because my parents live in the flat above mine. Ever since I was a child I have taken the same left turn or right turn and I would not have it any other way.”
He further elaborated on his fondness for fun family atmosphere within the building saying, “The entire building is like one big family. When we were little, all the kids of the building would play together in the garden below and sometimes even sleep there. Back then, there weren’t different houses; all the houses were treated as our own and we would go into anyone’s house to eat food. I still stay in the same flat because I have countless memories attached to that house.” This connection to his roots is why Salman continues to reside in this cherished apartment despite his immense success and wealth.
Security amped up at Galaxy ApartmentsRecently, security enhancements have been made at Galaxy Apartments due to safety concerns arising from threats against Salman Khan. As per many media reports and videos, renovations included a bulletproof glass being installed in the balcony of his house.
