Gadar 2 was released in the theatres of India on 11 August 2023. The sequel of the 2001 superhit movie grossed nearly INR 430 crore in box office collections worldwide within the first six days. This ranks the movie second among the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year. Gadar 2 also managed to resurrect the Bollywood career of Sunny Doel, the lead actor.
Son of legendary Bollywood actor Dharmendra, Sunny earned his stripes with his debut in the movie Betaab in 1983. After a string of moderate successes, Sunny started to hit the silver screen jackpot through the late 80s and early 90s, becoming a superstar action hero with several Filmfare and National Film Awards to his credit. Eventually, his political career took off as his acting days were put behind him, but with Gadar 2, the actor's home and lifestyle seem to have caught the attention of fans once more.
Today let us take a virtual tour of Sunny Deol's Malabar Hills residence.
Through Celebratory Lens
Sunny Deol's home featured prominently in many news and lifestyle stories and social media posts when his son Karan Deol tied the knot with Drisha Acharya. The pre-wedding festivities were brilliant, and so was Sunny Deol's decked-up home. We got some up close and personal glimpses of the actor's luxurious residence in Malabar Hills, Mumbai. Malabar Hills is one of the most exclusive residential neighbourhoods in Mumbai, with movie stars, business tycoons, and celebrities. While most reports are vague about the market value, experts believe that the tech-powered residence is priced upwards of INR 50 crores.
Tree-lined beauty
Sunny Deol's palatial Malabar Hills home is a sight for sore eyes. The tree-lined compound looks all green and nature-centric, but one of the best-kept secrets of this home is that it is powered by the latest technology and automation. The main gate is voice-activated and is programmed to recognise the actor and his family members' voices. This use of automation and IoT is a theme in this beautiful house. Beyond the palm-lined compound, the house has a stained-glass and stone facade - a sparkling ode to the aesthetic interests of the residents. The manicured gardens and the flower beds, and the green and serene lawns are both stunning and peaceful at the same time.
Swanky interiors
The floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors certainly let the outdoors in, and the living room is a modern, vibrant space with a dominance of wood and fabric furniture pieces. The house is swanky but also has a cosy, lived-in vibe with several large couches and quirky cushions placed throughout the ground floor. The interiors are done up in beige, cream, rust, and earthy tones that go well with the wooden doors, windows, and wall panels.
The Deol family is a very tight-knit and is known to spend much time together. Meal times are quite important, and this is reflected in the wonderful dining space of this house. The dining table is a massive piece that can seat about 25 people.
Focus Fitness
Sunny Doel's on-screen persona is a reflection of his passion for health and fitness. It is but natural that the actor's home showcases a large and fully-equipped gymnasium and fitness centre. It is reported that the Damini-star never misses a workout session and prides himself in the world-class equipment in his home gym. While this home has several glamorous features, this one certainly deserves special mention.
Wow Factor
The Gadar actor's home has several mind-boggling features that earn it a spot among the most-coveted Bollywood residences in Mumbai. This home certainly has everything from a personal helipad to a sparkling full-length outdoor pool. The balconies and decks are large and make for leisure spots in the home, and the fully-stocked library is just a delight to behold. The parking area and garage are favourites of the actor, who owns several high-end sports cars.
Sunny's Real Estate Portfolio
Apart from the Malabar Hills home, Sunny Deol holds an extensive portfolio of real estate investments both in India and in the United Kingdom.
The actor owns a sprawling 1000-square-foot apartment in Mumbai's Oshiwara Complex which is estimated to be worth about INR 2 crore. The Gurdaspur MP also owns a palatial bungalow and about INR 10 crore of agricultural land in Punjab. He also owns a large and beautiful bungalow in the UK.
The Deol family home in Juhu belongs to Dharmendra and is the shared residence of both Sunny and Bobby Deol and their families.
