Celebrities and their lives fascinate us. Page 3, social media, television, blogs, and magazines - no matter where we turn, we find ourselves surrounded by gossip, titbits, and news about famous people and their lifestyles. While some may say this goes to show that Indians are innately star-stuck, many of us find inspiration in the lives of these achievers. We hold our movie stars, cricketers, and social icons up to high standards only because they give us goals to aspire towards.
If the guy-next-door Delhi boy can lay claim to some of the top sporting achievements, and be honoured with the best of national and international honours, perhaps you can too. Likewise, if the quintessential Fauji brat who spent a great deal of childhood moving from one end of the country to another can be one of the most-loved and most-admired actresses of the country, you can realise your dreams too. Yes, we are referring to the leading celebrity couple, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli. We followed Virushka's glamorous wedding in Tuscany at the end of 2017 and went crazy when they gave birth to a lovely daughter in 2021. But the one thing that we all continue to follow with awe and wonder is the couple's posh apartment in Worli, Mumbai.
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli own three homes – a bungalow in Delhi, a luxury apartment in a high-rise in Mumbai, and a sprawling farmhouse in Alibaug. Of these, the one that is featured all too often in the couple's social media pictures is their Mumbai home. Both Anushka and Virat are known for their classy elegance and sophisticated taste. This is reflected in the beauty, opulence and understated aesthetics of their Mumbai apartment. Here is a sneak peek into Virat Kohli's Mumbai house and its interiors.
India's ace cricketer, Virat Kohli and his equally popular actress wife, Anushka Sharma, are very private people. Most of what we know about their ultra-luxurious Mumbai home comes from Instagram pictures that the couple posts. Here's all that we know –
- Virat Kohli's sprawling 4-bedroom apartment is part of the Omkar 1973 high-rise, a sea-facing residential project by Omkar Realtors and Developers. The Kohlis picked the 35th floor of the C tower of the project for their home. The cricket icon is believed to have paid INR 34 crores for this 7171 square feet home.
- The best feature of the Anushka-Virat home is undoubtedly the spectacular views of the Arabian Sea. In fact, in one of his posts, Virat commented that the views make him disinclined to leave home. We can only imagine the joy of enjoying the Mumbai skyline and sunsets from this vantage point.
- Apart from four large bedrooms with sophisticated walk-in closets and dressing areas, Virat's Mumbai apartment consists of a garden area, a small gym, and a large dining and entertaining area. With the birth of their daughter, the couple is believed to have converted one of the bedrooms into a beautiful nursery.
- The interiors of this apartment have been done up in a grand yet sophisticated style. The lavish use of gold, beige, and black offers the elegance of a high-end apartment, but the 13 feet high ceilings allow for a lot of natural light, adding just the right amount of earthiness to the Kohli residence. Each room has private decks extending out, giving it an air of openness and allowing for green spaces with lots of plants.
- The imposing wooden door leads to a grand living space with the TV unit mounted against the backdrop of a floor-to-ceiling wood-panelled wall. This contrasts sharply against the floral black and beige colour scheme of the rest of the room. As expected, many of the walls are adorned with personal pictures, giving the home a warm, lived-in feel. What we know is that some rooms of the household feature mahogany floorboards in an interesting pattern, while the rest have retro black and white marble flooring. Whichever corner she picks, though the home is all class and charm
- We can discern large chandeliers, beautiful area rugs, and tasteful yet modern furniture pieces from the couple's posts and publicly shared pictures. With such a power couple for owners, the closet and dressing area is as impressive as you can imagine. Black and white wallpaper, large dressing table with oval mirror and make-up lights – right out of a picture book! The room with the geometrical patterned grey backdrop and the large emerald green wing chair seems to be Anushka's favourite corner for photography, though.
