For about eighteen months, the couple made their home there while Vashu devoted himself to acquiring land and developing properties. As his career flourished, he decided to fulfill his wife's original dream in a grander fashion. He recalled, 'In 2009, I gifted her an entire building in Bandra's Pali Hill and named it Puja Casa after her. She had asked for a 1BHK, I gave her a whole building.
I had promised myself I would never sell it—only rent it out.
It would be my backup in tough times. In film production, you never know when you hit a slump.'

Currently, Shah Rukh Khan is living in that same building while his home, Mannat, is being renovated. Vashu said that many of his friends from the film industry also live there. Although he had to sell parts of the building over time, Shah Rukh rents the same flat. Vashu's love for his wife Puja shows in how many of his buildings and businesses are named after her. For a while, their production company was called Pooja Entertainment because of numerology.
