The Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai has for long been pegged as an alternative to Nariman Point, the financial hub of Mumbai. Now home to some of the biggest business houses, the complex is now gaining much attention due to celebrities and corporate czars who have chosen to buy homes here.

The likes of former Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit; Ashok Wadhwa, group CEO of financial services firm Ambit Holdings Pvt. Ltd. And Gautam Adani, head of the Adani Group; are among those who have bought luxury homes for Rs.30 crore and upwards in Signature Island. Some of the enviable features of the project include concierge services, apart from the usual luxury amenities.

Apart from the headquarters and regional offices of many banks, BKC also houses the Securities and Exchange Board of India, National Stock Exchange, and the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development.

Who are the other Bollywood actresses who recently moved out of their parents' homes?

Though Alia Bhatt very recently remarked that her parents would freak out if she moves out of her home, she bought a new home where she will live with her sister from next year onwards. Alia Bhatt's grandfather, who is an architect, will design this home in Juhu. The new apartment is down the same street where her current apartment is. Till the renovation is complete, Alia Bhatt will live with her parents.

Actress Shraddha Kapoor, after announcing her inclination to move out of her parents' home, now says that she is not sure when this would be possible. She has been looking at apartments for sale in Mumbai. 

Priyanka Chopra recently said that she is moving to her new home in Juhu because her mother insists that she should be independent.
