The couple reportedly purchased a dilapidated 200-year-old mansion in 2023 for nearly £21 million. While the acquisition itself caused little stir among locals, tensions escalated after renovation proposals revealed plans to extensively transform the property. According to reports, the project involves stripping the mansion internally while retaining only its outer walls, alongside the addition of luxury amenities including a basement swimming pool and an underground basketball court.
Residents of Hillcrest, a neighboring apartment block adjoining the mansion, initially expressed few objections beyond concerns about construction noise. However, matters took a controversial turn when locals alleged that a company linked to Kapoor and Ahuja had acquired five flats within their residential block for approximately £4 million.
