Arjun Rampal recently bought a penthouse in Band

Arjun Rampal picks up a sea-facing penthouse apartment in Bandra at a cool Rs 20 crore. The actor will move in with family next week

Says a source close to Arjun, "His new place is a airy and spacious penthouse in Chand Terrace. It's over 5,300 sq ft in size and has more than four bedrooms. It is sea-facing and has a great deal of sunlight coming in".

The deal was brokered a fortnight ago at nearly Rs 20 crore. Says his real estate agent, "Arjun was looking around for nearly six to seven months but couldn't make up his mind. The penthouse was the place where his search ended."

Arjun and wife Mehr Jesia earlier resided with their two daughters, Mahikaa and Myraa at Ritu Apartments in Bandra. But now that their children are growing up, they need more space. Apart from their daughters, Arjun and Mehr have two dogs and four maids. Also Arjun's mother comes to stay with them once in a while, so the couple needed a spacious apartment. The couple had been wanting a large place for over a year. Now, with Arjun's successes last year, they felt it was time to buy a new place even if it meant that it was going to be extremely expensive."

Arjun and Mehr have done the interior design and decoration of the penthouse on their own. Adds the source, "Mehr's got good taste and has an eye for decoration. For the penthouse Arjun and Mehr picked up many home accessories from all over the world including one from their recent trip to New York en route to the Caribbean Islands for Arjun's cousin's wedding. Now that the apartment has been done up completely the family will shift in next week."
