Bollywood's handsome hunks rule the roost in tinsel town. While our love for our fitness icons and toned heroes remains undying, there is much to be said about John Abraham's acting skills as well. Since his silver screen debut in 2003, the actor has never failed to reinvent himself, going from dashing hero to treacherous villain and from scary cop to lovable con. The Pathaan star's fashion mantra and fitness journey are closely followed by fans across the country. Today let us take a tour of John Abraham's house in Mumbai.
Sea-facing Bandra Duplex
Since 2011, Bollywood's darling, John Abraham, has lived in this duplex built by combining two apartments on the 7th and 8th floors of a high-rise in Bandra West. The neighbourhood is among the poshest in Mumbai and is home to several stars. The 4000 square feet Vaastu-compliant penthouse was designed to perfection by Abraham John Architects, an award-winning design firm in Mumbai owned by the actor's brother. In the year 2016, this elegant and sophisticated design won the Indian Institute of Architectural Design's Best Home Award.
Vintage Vibe with Contemporary Décor
This expansive sea-facing duplex is unique in its design because it seamlessly brings together the best of vintage and contemporary décor ideas. The cream colour palate offers the perfect backdrop to bring together a number of style elements that fall in place like a perfect jigsaw rather than sounding a jarring note. The large French windows in dark ebony wood perfectly match the vintage furniture, corner tables, and photo frames. These are reminiscent of the old Parsi homes and the retro magic that old Mumbai used to be famous for.
On the other hand, the couch, circular coffee table, wooden floorboards, and other decor items are modern and chic, with a very comfortable and contemporary vibe. The grey, black, white, and cream colour scheme pulls these two contrasts together. Yet, despite this vintage-chic dichotomy, John Abraham's house in Mumbai has a very minimalistic vibe that is intriguing and alluring all at once.
Villa With A View
Appropriately named "Villa In The Sky", the best feature of the home is its expansive wooden deck with stunning views of the Arabian Sea on one side and Mount Mary Hill on the other. This deck is built as an extension of the private media room, which, predictably, has a large screen and an audio-visual system. The beauty of this space is that it has ceiling blinds that can convert it into a canopied cove for a cosy screening. In addition, the deck has in-built skylights in the floorboards, making it a beautiful sight at night. The little bamboo garden and the glass walls make this one of the most beautiful spots in the home.
Signature John
While it is certainly a picture-perfect duplex, John Abraham's house in Mumbai is quintessentially his own. From the large and luxurious walk-in closet to the fully equipped gymnasium, every part of the home perfectly reflects the actor's personality. The spa Jacuzzi, with a state-of-the-art shower panel, certainly adds a hint of epicurean opulence to this penthouse. Those who follow John on-screen and off-screen know of the actor's love of motorcycles and muscled road bikes. The garage in this apartment makes space for his extensive collection as well.
With floor-length glass walls and windows, every part of John Abraham's home is designed to let in natural light and ventilation. As a result, it is one of the most beautiful celebrity homes in Mumbai.
