Hrithik will pay 45 crore to move out of his father place

Hrithik Roshan is all set to move out from his papa's home. The Roshans, with their daughter Sunaina and her daughter Sonalika have the 8th, 9th, and the 10th floor in (El Palazzo). The actor lives on level nine with his wife Sussanne and their two sons.

According to the real estate source, Sussanne and Hrithik have been house-hunting in Juhu for the last six months. They saw a few properties; including late actor Om Prakash's property and another beachfront plot near Rani Mukerji's house, but they weren't really happy with either place.

An insider reveals, "Now they've finally settled for a huge plot situated on 11th road, Juhu. It is in the same lane as Dharmendra's bungalow. On the plot in discussion stands an old three- storeyed building called Husman. The Roshans will demolish the structure and will erect a bungalow in its place.

The Husman building is nearly 15,000 sq ft. "I hear that the deal has cost Roshan Jr nearly Rs 45 crore," adds the source.

Our realestate source says Sussanne has been doing the legwork for the house. She has been constantly in touch with the estate agents. She'd really liked the sea-facing plot, but because of lack of privacy and also due to security reasons, she decided against the place.

Says a source, "Apparently Hrithik and his dad have been facing problems over many issues including that of Hrithik's growing closeness to Barbara Mori. Rakesh had wanted Sussanne to accompany Hrithik to the Cannes Film Festival this year instead of Barbara Mori but Hrithik had his way.

Hrithik has been staying a floor below his parents in Il Palazzo but right now is feeling stifled by the parental proximity. Hrithik wants to be more independent but hasn't informed his parents about his plans. He wants to finalise the deal and then inform his parents."

While Hrithik remained unavailable for comment Rakesh Roshan initially said, "I don't understand what are you talking about. I simply know that no one is shifting." When informed that Hrithik is on the verge of finalising a 45-crore property deal in Juhu and that he plans to build a new bungalow there, Roshan Sr says, "It's not true."

Insider gossip from Karan Johar's party

Karan Johar’s 37th birthday party at Hotel Four Seasons in Mumbai on May 25 is being called the bash of the year.

More A-listers were spotted here than one could keep tabs of, but some details have made there way out of the venue. Obviously, an insider has been doing the talking...

Guest list
Shah Rukh-Gauri, Abhishek-Aishwarya, Hrithik-Sussanne, Saif-Kareena, Karisma, Ranbir-Deepika, Imran-Avantika, Arjun Rampal-Mehr, Shahid Kapur, Rani, Farhan Akhtar, Tusshar, Sonam Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Vivek Oberoi, Lara Dutta, Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia and many more.

Notably missing
Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham and Karan’s good friend Kajol. Some were away from Mumbai, while others were down with flu.

Dress code
Karan asked men to be in formal suits. Most guests obliged, though a few like Hrithik went casual. Most women were in tiny dresses. Like on most occasions, birthday boy Karan wore black.

Highlights
* Karan dragged Abhishek to Shah Rukh and the two ended up chatting for sometime, with Ash looking on. So is it the end of Khan-Bachchan cold war?

* Kareena and Ash were seen chatting and dancing. Pleasant surprise considering after Abhishek and Karisma’s engagement broke, Kareena had put a ban on all things Abhi.

* Riteish and Genelia came separately; Shahid and Vidya were seen leaving together.

* Shahid and Kareena made no effort to chat, while Ash made an effort and avoided Vivek Oberoi.

* Hrithik, Abhishek, Arjun and Farhan climbed on the bar counter and danced.

* The party ended in the wee hours of May 26.

Our regret
It was unfortunate that Karan, while being a gracious host to his colleagues, extended no hospitality to the media which had turned up to cover the event. Angry with the ill treatment, most photographers banned the party and you missed seeing the photos.

White ants eating into Hrithik's pocket

When Susanne Roshan moved out of her home to go and stay with her parents, there was widespread speculation about trouble in her marriage. Subsequently husband Hrithik joined her and they shifted to J W Marriott Hotel in Juhu.

Susanne also clarified that the reason for her leaving home was not marital discord but termites which had invaded their house and now pest control and some renovation is being carried out.

But staying at a five-star hotel is proving to be an expensive deal. The couple, their two sons and 4 helpers (2 nurses + 2 maids) are said to be running up a bill of rupees 2.5 lakhs per day.

Hrithik wanted to have his privacy and hence booked five suites in the hotel.
It is expected that the Roshans will stay at the hotel for one more month.

Incidentally, Hrithik was unhappy with the super soft mattress he was sleeping on so he got it changed with a firmer one.

Considering he’s giving the hotel such good business, it’s no surprise they are looking after him well.
