So, it is pretty obvious that fans would like to know more about his residence. Luckily, we have got you covered!
Here is a closer look into your favourite B’wood star’s house in Juhu, Mumbai:
Location and Significance
Residing in 31 Shrinagar Residency Society on North-South Road No. 7 in Juhu Vile Parle Development (JVPD), Kapoor purchased the multicrore property in 2000. Fondly addressed as AK Residence by fans, the multiple-time Filmfare award winner’s home definitely holds a lot of significance, both in the hearts of the admirers and the actor himself.
When asked about his Juhu mansion, Anil Kapoor once said, "Every brick, every stone, everything is made of my blood, sweat, and hard work," while offering a tour of his spectacular abode!
Designed by the Lady of The House
The interiors of any house are the true reflection of the owner's personality and taste. This is the reason why decorating your home is so crucial. And who could do it better than the lady of the house? Sunita Kapoor – Anil Kapoor's better half has done the interiors for their Juhu bungalow. Being an expert interior designer, we expect nothing less! And this is also why the AK house was listed as one of the best-designed celebrity mansions in India by Forbes.
Sunita has done an impeccable job at designing their house. The place is dotted with some of the most artistic painting, décor items, sculptures, and various objet d'art that is bound to impress their guests. Mrs Kapoor has also tried to incorporate the Hindu Gods into their interiors. There is also a Pichwai Krishana painting in the foyer. Moreover, the entrance is embellished with decorative bowls, ceramic vases, a patterned Dari, and cow figurines, along with some mythological artwork.
Family Room
The Kapoors are all about family time! And this is the reason why their first floor is entirely dedicated to the clan, where Anil Kapoor can spend some time with his wife Sunita, daughters Rhea and Sonam, and son Harshvardhan. One can even say that this space is the heart of AK’s house. This is where the family reunites to have grand feasts, get-togethers, and celebrate special occasions.
The beautiful vine-like staircase takes us to this special spot filled with warmth and many memories. This space has a very rustic yet modern aesthetic appeal to it. Also, the brown leather sofas seem very comfy, with their patterned cushions coloured orange and warm red. A large painting also serves as a statement piece just above the couch. A lounge chair, a coffee table, and a side table make it the perfect place for friends and family members to unwind and relax.
The room extends to the other side of the wall, which has been transformed into a library. This spot seems to be the favourite photoshoot mark for father Anil Kapoor and daughter Sonam Kapoor.
Home Theatre
A Bollywood star's home is incomplete without an in-house theatre. And just like the other spots in this home, the home theatre is also a very comfortable and aesthetic space. The place has some couches, reclining leather massage chairs, a big projection screen, two big speakers, and several other comfortable chairs. The Kapoor's massive collection of DVDs sits on a series of shelves that are right behind an attractive sliding door.
Prayer Room
There is also a dedicated prayer room in the house that exhibits a serene and tranquil vibe. The place is white, thanks to the marble walls and the marble centre that features some exquisite and intricate carvings. The Kapoor family offers prayers in this room on special occasions and festivals.
In-House Gymnasium
As we all know, Anil Kapoor has been ageing like fine wine! And we might know the secret behind it. The in-house gym at the AK mansion has much to do with the Jhakaas looks of Anil Kapoor! The actor has a dedicated regime and a very healthy diet which makes us believe that age is just a number! His personal fitness centre has some of the most modern equipment that helps him stay in shape.
Conclusion
The house owned by Anil Kapoor is as timeless as the actor himself. And we are sure that this sneak peek into his luxurious bungalow in Juhu will help you get a little closer to your idol and will inspire you in more than one way!
