The Los Angeles home of the late F.R.I.E.N.D.S. star Matthew Perry finally finds a new owner as Anita Verma-Lallian, notable real estate developer and film producer, purchased it for $8.5 million (Rs 72.040 crore) and stands intended to celebrate all the good Perry brought into the world. 

Anita recently shared the house on Instagram where she is giving a taste of the home and sharing insight into a blessing ceremony she performed there, particularly paying homage to her cultural roots and respecting the history of the home.

In her post, Anita reflected on her approach to new properties. “As a real estate developer myself, I believe 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 shared. Anita thanked Panditji from Arizona for a blessing at the property to hopefully recognize the good that Perry did in his life.  “The decision to purchase the home had nothing to do with the previous owner, just our love of the home," she added, she intended to bring positivity into the space while honoring the late actor's memory.

Anita also runs Arizona Land Consulting, a real estate consultancy firm founded in 2020 after leaving her family business. Throughout the years, she helped people to acquire land in Arizona, which has become a billion-dollar portfolio.  “We have been instrumental in large businesses coming to Arizona and the development of Phoenix,” she told Canvas Rebel, as reported by the South China Morning Post, outlining her goal of bringing transformative growth to the area.
