The “Bollywood” celebrity couple Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have purchased a villa in the prestigious Sanctuary Falls, a resort-style villa community within Jumeirah Golf Estates.

Abhishek and Aishwarya now own a luxury villa in Dubai and have joined the ranks of other celebs who own property there including David & Victoria Beckham, Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt.

Abhishek and Aishwarya were introduced to future neighbours by the property’s developers, Shaik Holdings, at an exclusive “Residents’ Party” at the 7-star Burj Al Arab hotel. That’s an awful lot of stars for a seven-star hotel (sic)

As if reading from a script, Abhishek said, “I don’t think we choose a place, I believe a place chooses you,” on being asked why Dubai and why Sanctuary Falls. He added, “We saw the Sanctuary Falls project and the facilities and just knew that we had to be a part of it.” The couple looked relaxed despite a hectic past week, which included a visit to the Cannes Film Festival and a three-hour walk to Mumbai’s Siddhivinayak temple. They also displayed no signs of anxiety ahead of Sarkar Raj’s release this week, in which Aishwarya joins Abhishek and father-in-law, Amitabh Bachchan, on screen

“I don’t think I’ve ever been nervous or stressed out before a film’s release,” said Aishwarya. Dressed in an Indian kurta, Aishwarya held onto Abhishek for most of the evening and did most of the talking when interacting with the small gathering of guests at the reception.
