Actor Sudhanshu Pandey, greatest often known as Vanraj from Anupamaa, gave a tour of his Mumbai house, and what unfolded was a heartfelt walkthrough of an area that balances luxurious with non secular grounding.
The house opens right into a quiet, considerate lobby. “Yeh space isliye banaya gaya hai… do Maharaja chairs isliye lagayi gayi hain kyunki yeh ek secluded sa space hai,” he explains. It serves as a semi-private zone for company who desire a fast chat away from the get together. But it surely’s additionally non secular. “Aate jaate Bappa ki ek badi pyaari si murti nazar aati hai. It’s a reminder — Bappa ka aashirwad hai. It’s an excellent vibe.”
Sudhanshu’s bar cupboard is as elegant as it’s practical, even when he hardly ever drinks. “Health mere liye obsession hai… lekin jab log ghar aate hain, unko drinks toh supply karna padta hai.” The cupboard holds every thing from wine glasses to whisky tumblers, and the area naturally turns into a hub. “10 log bhi ho, toh sab yahaan ikattha ho jaate hain… achhe conversations hoti hain.”

Simply steps away sits a black piano, positioned thoughtfully in a nook. “Mere bade bete aur spouse ne kaha piano hona chahiye. Salim Suleiman se poocha, aur yeh piano liya.” For Sudhanshu, a musical instrument within the house adjustments the vibe utterly. “It’s a feel-good factor—it adjustments the home’s power.”
Pointing to 2 framed pictures of his canine, Sudhanshu beams: “Yeh Jack Pandey aur Pepper Pandey hain—hamari aankhon ke taare. Sabse essential members of this home.”
The eating area doubles as a dialog zone. “Khaana khatam ho jaata hai, par baatein nahi.” The desk is custom-designed and cleverly transforms right into a pool desk. “Kabhi mann kare toh flip karo aur pool khel lo!” Above it hangs a chandelier that was positioned with goal. “Lighting ka bhi khaas dhyaan diya gaya tha.”
Sudhanshu showcases a water-art piece given to him by actor Arvind Vaidya (his on-screen father in Anupamaa). “Ye badi khaas cheez hai mere liye. Vaise toh ye mandir nahi hai however ye jo artwork piece hai mujhe mere ek bahaut hello khaas mere bapu ji hai unhone mujhe present kiya tha. Jo anupama mein mere father ka position play karte the, Arvind uncle, unhone mujhe present diya tha,” he stated. “Ismein steady abhishek hota rehta hai… ek fountain jaise. It’s very constructive.”Story continues under this advert
The lounge is easy but elegant. “Maine ghar ko minimalist rakha hai… heavy furnishings nahi chahiye tha. Ghar spacious lagna chahiye.” Most conversations occur right here, he says. To steadiness out the whites, he launched pops of pink by means of {custom} chandeliers and matching Maharaja chairs. “Pink provides a whole lot of life… It’s the color of affection.”
A small deck space sits simply outdoors. “Jab December–January ka mausam hota hai… breezy hota hai, toh wahaan baithna bahut achha lagta hai.”
Sudhanshu moved into this house in December 2018. “2017 mein ghar lena begin kiya… 2018 December mein shift hua. Interiors 6 mahine mein completed ho gaye.” Not like most, he didn’t take a 12 months. “Kaafi breaking aur adjustments kiye. Maharaja chairs thodi fancy thi, however they modified the texture of the home.”
The theatre room can be his workplace. “Zoom calls, conferences sab yahaan hote hain. Yahaan Bajrangbali aur Nataraj bhi hain.” Behind him sits a projector and cabinets lined with awards. “Pichle 3-4 saal ke trophies hain. ITA Finest Actor do saal mila… Mid-Day Showbiz… Dadasaheb Phalke. Yeh sab mujhe yaad dilate hain ki most important theek-thaak kaam kar raha hoon.”
