Indian-origin film producer Verma-Lallian and real estate developer Anita Verma-Lallian have purchased Matthew Perry’s Palisades home for $8.55 million (approximately Rs 72.04 crore) where the F.R.I.E.N.D.S star died.
Before moving in, Anita Verma-Lallian and her family held a Hindu ‘puja’ ceremony to bless the property and honor Perry’s memory.
Excited about the new purchase, Verma-Lallian shared her experience on Instagram, writing, “We are so excited to share that we bought a home in Los Angeles earlier this month! Our agent, @brooke.elliott.laurinkus, said she had an amazing ‘off-market’ property that she really wanted us to see. 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.”
As a real estate developer, Verma-Lallian reflected on the energy every home carries, saying, “Every property has a history that we may or may not know about, and every home carries the energy that the current owner brings to it. I am Hindu, and it’s customary to do a blessing and prayer anytime you buy a new home.” She added that the purchase was about their love for the home, not the previous owner, and they chose to honor Perry’s “immense talent” and the joy he brought to others.
