                 ollywood’s girl-next-door, Shraddha Kapoor, was seen casually dressed and all
                 smiles as she stepped out of a sea-facing apartment in Juhu this week — instant-
          Bly sparking speculation. Paparazzi caught her exiting the premises with a high-pro-
          file real estate agent, and fans are wondering: is Shraddha moving out of her family home?

              Sources close to the actress say she’s looking for “a peaceful space with natural light and priva-
          cy,” preferably near the sea — aligning with her growing interest in sustainability and wellness. While
          there’s no confirmation yet, insiders suggest she’s eyeing a duplex flat with a private terrace garden.

          ing whether this signals a more “settled” phase with rumored beau Rohan Shrestha. But for now,
          all Shraddha says is, “Just exploring. No fixed plans.”
              Whether it’s a personal project or just a property hunt, Shraddha Kapoor has everyone watching
          — and guessing.
