Actor Shekhar Suman has opened the doors to his expansive sea-facing penthouse in Mumbai’s Lokhandwala, offering a glimpse into a residence that combines European-inspired design with contemporary comforts. Spread across multiple levels, the home reflects the actor’s long career in the entertainment industry while showcasing a distinctive architectural and interior style.
A recent home tour revealed an entrance marked by an ornate ivory door with decorative wrought-iron detailing. The foyer introduces a Parisian aesthetic, featuring a bronze chandelier, carved furnishings and a large gilded mirror alongside a sculpture of Lord Krishna, blending classical European influences with Indian cultural elements.
The living areas are designed around neutral tones, elegant furnishings and decorative lighting. Spacious seating zones include plush sofas, crystal chandeliers, patterned wallpapers and curated artwork. One of the standout elements of the home is an antique chess table with an inlaid onyx board and intricately crafted metallic chess pieces, positioned as a central feature between the lounge spaces.
The dining room is equally elaborate, centred around a large marble dining table surrounded by high-back chairs and illuminated by a multi-tiered chandelier. Display cabinets showcasing porcelain collections further enhance the formal setting.
In contrast to the traditional décor seen across much of the home, the kitchen adopts a modern design language with high-gloss cabinetry, marble finishes and integrated appliances.
The penthouse also includes a dedicated private gym equipped with professional fitness equipment and personal memorabilia from Suman’s fitness journey. Outside, multiple balconies and a large terrace overlook mangrove landscapes and the Arabian Sea. The outdoor area features wicker furniture, decorative sculptures and landscaped greenery, creating a resort-like atmosphere rarely associated with Mumbai’s dense urban environment.
The residence stands out for its blend of grandeur, personalised design elements and expansive open spaces, making it one of the more distinctive celebrity homes in the city.
