Aamir follows Salman and Hrithik

Aamir Khan purchases the sea-front flat he had rented in Carter Road, Bandra for a whopping sum

Aamir Khan has apparently bought the house at Carter Road, Bandra, where he had been apparently staying on rent for the past several months. A source informs, `The deal was struck for Rs 60 crore for the 5,000 square feet sea-facing flat spread over two floors.`

The star had moved into Frida Apartments at Carter Road earlier this year when his home in Marina Apartments at Pali Hill was undergoing renovations. He was paying a monthly rent of Rs 10 lakh for the flat. Turned out the owner had promised the actor that he would sell the place only to him.

Another source informs, `Kiran Rao loves the place as it is at the seafront. It was bright and airy compared to their Pali Hill abode.` Adds the source, `Aamir was keen to buy the entire building where his Pali Hill flat is.

But the residents weren't willing to sell their flats to him and move out. So he went ahead with the Carter Road flat. His mother Zeenat stays in Marina Apartments and his younger brother Faisal will now move in with her.`
