Also known as the Ibrahim Kothi, the Pataudi Palace is an architectural heritage inherited by actor Saif Ali Khan. Spread across 100s of acres, this grand mansion in Haryana boasts colonial-style architecture, vintage interiors, and sprawling gardens. The palace has been a favourite as a film location, and high-budget movies like Veer-Zaara, Mangal Pandey and more recently, Animal have been filmed here. The architecture of the palace comprises antique furniture, Persian carpets, and regal chandeliers, giving it an ageless, classy and royally quintessential look.

2. Mannat: Shah Rukh Khan's seaside estate

Shah Rukh Khan's Mumbai bungalow, Mannat, is the most popular celebrity home in India. Located overlooking the Arabian Sea in Bandra, the multi-storey bungalow boasts European as well as neo-classical architecture. Naturally Gauri Khan has designed the interior, with a mix of vintage and contemporary style featuring stunning chandeliers, marble flooring, and an art collection as vast as the stars. It is not just a home for the Khans but a landmark for his die-hard fans as thousands of them throng to spot the superstar.

3. Vastu: Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor's modern mansion

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor's residence, Vastu, is the family's stylish, multi-storey residence in Mumbai's Pali Hill neighbourhood. Designed by Gauri Khan, it features muted colours, wood tones, and minimalist lighting, which provides the residence with a lived-in, classy appearance. The couple's artistic and furniture sense is reflected in the interior of the residence, with such personal touches as framed family photographs and antique furniture. Unlike otherwise over-the-top Bollywood mansions, Vastu is characterized by its understated but ultra-luxurious appeal.

4. Alibaug Abode: Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone's grand getaway home

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have a gorgeous holiday home in Alibaug, a beach town a couple of hours from Mumbai. Inaugurated by the Padukone-Singhs in 2022, the modern villa is built with minimalist elegance, featuring open spaces, earthy colours, and refined yet rustic furniture. Occasionally seen in glimpses on their social media profiles, its stylish interior with cosy corners, and picturesque vistas make this home a dream.

5. Jalsa: Amitabh Bachchan's legendary house

Another iconic Bollywood home is Amitabh Bachchan's Jalsa. A present from director Ramesh Sippy for Satte Pe Satta, Jalsa is the family's Juhu bungalow that oozes intimacy and ethnic elegance.

6. The sea-facing stunner: Hrithik Roshan's Mumbai dream home

Hrithik Roshan's Mumbai apartment is the ultimate combination of luxury and comfort. With a sea view of the Arabian Sea, the apartment is designed with open balconies, an in-house gym, a game room, and a sleek yet sophisticated interior. A happy spot for his sons and family, the house has a play area of his own for his children and a wall for the milestones of his life.

7. Beach bungalow: Akshay Kumar's retreat in the middle of Mumbai

Akshay Kumar's sea-facing Juhu bungalow is the very essence of peace. Contrary to the gaudy excess associated with luxury, this one is tastefully done with understated sophistication that features earthy tones, wooden finishes, and an expansive garden overlooking the beach in Mumbai. With his interest in keeping himself fit and healthy, Akshay has specially allocated areas for yoga and meditation, and his house is a secluded oasis away from the city's chaos.
