Indian woman Anita Lallian buys Mathew Perry’s late residence House- 08/11, where he died and performs Puja for “Blessings”
Mathew Perry, who brought laughter to millions with his role as Chandler Bing on Friends, passed away in this very home at the age of 54. While fans and the entertainment world continue to mourn his loss, Anita Lallian, a real estate developer and film producer with Indian roots, is embracing the property with warmth, gratitude, and a deep respect for the joy it symbolizes.
Anita recently purchased Perry’s former Los Angeles residence in Pacific Palisades, a stunning property with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. The home, valued at $8.55 million, holds special meaning for her—not only for its elegance and location but also for the history and memories it carries. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Anita shared how she felt an instant connection upon first stepping inside. “The second I saw the view and unique features of this house, I just knew it was the one,” she expressed, highlighting that her love for the home stems from its charm rather than any association with the past.
As part of her move-in, Anita and her family gathered to perform a traditional Hindu ‘puja,’ a blessing ceremony meant to invite peace and positivity into their new space. “As a Hindu, it’s a tradition to offer prayers and blessings whenever we move into a new place,” she shared, expressing how meaningful it was to have a family pandit from Arizona lead the ceremony.
Anita’s respect for the home’s unique character is reflected in her choice to preserve certain design elements that speak to Perry’s legacy, like the Batman logo in the pool—a playful detail that echoes the joy he brought to fans worldwide. “We want to honor the positive legacy he left behind,” she noted, while emphasizing her own love for the property’s design and charm.
Anita’s story reminds us that homes carry memories, and every new owner brings fresh energy and love. As she settles into this new chapter, she looks forward to blending her own story with the legacy of the home, honoring both the beauty of the present and the memories of the past.
