Indian-origin property developer buys Matthew Perry's US home for Rs 72 crore

An Indian-origin real estate developer and film producer, Anita Verma-Lallian, has bought Friends star Matthew Perry’s home in Pacific Palisades for $8.55 million (around Rs 72.04 crore) in an off-market deal.

Sharing photos and videos on Instagram, Anita revealed that she offered prayers at her new residence on the occasion of Diwali to honour Matthew’s memory. She can be seen performing the ceremony by the pool with a priest. She wrote that they are happy to have bought a home in Los Angeles. The post read, “We are so excited to share that we bought a home in Los Angeles earlier this month!”

She shared, “The moment I walked into the home, I absolutely fell in love with the features, especially the view of the Pacific Ocean. We knew it was the one and decided to write an offer on it immediately.”

“I am Hindu, and it’s customary to do a blessing and prayer anytime you buy a new home. We were so lucky to have our Panditji from Arizona come to the house to do the blessing,” she added.

Anita said she’ll keep some of Matthew Perry’s updates to the house and add her own touches to make it her ideal vacation home. She went on to add, “It’s a piece of paradise that is filled with light and the perfect vacation home for us. Can’t wait to make new memories in it."

Matthew Perry had completely transformed his 3,500-square-foot mid-century home. One major addition was a pool with a connected hot tub, where he was found unresponsive last October. Situated on a half-acre in the LA hills, the property offers beautiful ocean views. The interior includes four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, a spacious living and dining area, a modern kitchen with white and grey cabinets, and a built-in wine wall.
