Rs 173 crore! That's the price of a bungalow owned by Sonam Kapoor's husband-to-be Anand Ahuja in Delhi

Finally! After months of speculations, it's official now that Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja will get married on May 8, over two days of wedding celebrations in Mumbai. The Kapoors and the Ahujas made it official in a joint statement that they released on Tuesday night. 

Sonam and Anand have been dating each other for the past two years. The first time Anand was officially spotted with Sonam publicly was at the success party of Akshay Kumar's Rustom in 2016. Post that, the duo have been clicked on various occasions, be it their London holidays or at the family functions of the actress. 

Not much has been known about Anand Ahuja, who's the grandson of Harish Ahuja, owner of Shashi Exports which is touted to be India's largest garment export house. Anand is also credited to have found the country's first multi-brand sneaker boutique for which he credits his love for footwear. The export house is said to have clients like GAP, Tommy Hilfiger, and Abercombie among others. 

That's a little bit about the business bit, but did you know that he also owns a plush bungalow which amounts to a whopping Rs 173 crore? The 3170 square yard plot in central Delhi was sold to Harish Ahuja by Om Arora (owner of Variety Book Depot in Connaught Place). 

The plot on which the plush bungalow is situated reportedly has a built-up area of 900 square feet. It's called a 'sher Mukhi' bungalow because of its shape, which is wider in the front and tapers towards the back. The property was acquired by Harish Ahuja in the year 2015. 

Another fact that makes this bungalow a hot property is its location. Reportedly, the bungalow is situated in the Lutyens Bungalow Zone (LBZ) which is supposed to be home to the country's top businessmen. Steel magnate LN Mittal, businessman-turned-politician Naveen Jindal, Airtel's Sunil Mittal, owners of Dabur - the Burmans, among others are said to own bungalows in the popular LBZ area.

Anand had completed his post-graduation from Wharton Business School in the USA and then he moved back to India and took over his family business.
