The Mumbai home Neelaya, shared by actress Raveena Tandon and husband Anil Thadani, sits in the leafy enclave of Bandra and is estimated at around Rs 70‑80 crore. Its Sanskrit name, meaning “shelter,” sets the tone for a residence that marries contemporary opulence with a reverent nod to tradition.

Spirituality is woven into the layout through a series of stone sculptures—Nandi, Ganesha, Shiva and Parvati—positioned according to Vastu Shastra. A 50‑year‑old Nandi, rescued from a South Indian temple, anchors a modest shrine and infuses the space with a sense of historic continuity.

The living room balances marble flooring and exposed red brick with sleek glass doors draped in sheer curtains. Black‑grey sofas sit beside a glossy black coffee table, an olive‑green rug and a striking golden lamp, while a marble‑topped bar counter with wooden base and black leather stools adds a touch of bar‑room glamour.

In the dining area, forest‑green walls adorned with three‑dimensional wooden panels create depth, complemented by light wooden flooring that tempers the richness of the palette. The result is a European‑inspired setting that feels both elegant and welcoming.

The master bedroom adopts a soothing jade‑green scheme, square‑patterned wood detailing and a vintage‑style vanity with makeup lights. Feng shui‑approved plants bring a breath of greenery, reinforcing the room’s tranquil vibe.

Architects Saket Sethi and Shabnam Gupta helped translate the couple’s desire for a “little bit of everything” into a cohesive whole, drawing on Kerala’s subtle architecture, Moroccan intricacy and rustic textures while embracing luxe finishes. The house is described by its owners as radiating good vibrations, a testament to the seamless fusion of styles.
