Mumbai( The COW News Digital)Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter, Sohana Khan, is reportedly facing legal complications over the purchase of agricultural land in Mumbai. The issue has drawn attention after documents related to the purchase allegedly listed her as a “farmer,” a designation that may conflict with land ownership rules in India.
According to Indian media reports, Sohana acquired the land in Ali Bagh, Mumbai, from her three sisters—Anjali, Rekha, and Priya—who inherited it as part of the family property. The transaction, valued at approximately ₹12.91 crore, has now come under legal scrutiny due to the classification of Sohana as a farmer in official documents.
This is not Sohana Khan’s first property-related acquisition. Previously, in 2023 and 2024, she purchased two plots of land with a combined value of ₹22 crore, which were registered under DejaVu Farm Private Limited. The company is reportedly owned by her mother, Gauri Khan, and her sister-in-law.
The legal challenge appears to stem from the rules governing agricultural land ownership in India, where only bona fide farmers are eligible to purchase such land in certain jurisdictions. By being listed as a farmer on the documents, Sohana may now be subject to investigations or penalties, though the exact legal ramifications are still unfolding.
Experts note that such cases often arise when high-value agricultural land is bought by non-farmers under classifications that bypass certain restrictions. The authorities are likely to examine whether the documentation accurately represented her status and whether any legal exemptions were improperly applied.
Sohana Khan’s legal issue follows similar controversies involving Bollywood celebrities acquiring property under special circumstances, highlighting the challenges celebrities face in navigating India’s land ownership regulations. The case has sparked media debate and public attention, given the high profile of the Khan family in India and internationally.
Legal analysts anticipate that Sohana’s team may seek to rectify any discrepancies to avoid prolonged litigation. Meanwhile, the case underscores the importance of compliance with property laws in India, particularly for high-value and inherited assets.
The development has added to a string of legal challenges in Bollywood, emphasizing that fame and influence do not exempt public figures from following the country’s regulatory frameworks.
