'Swades' actress Gayatri and hubby Vikas Oberoi give a peek into their Rs 400 crore luxury Mumbai home
Former actress and 'Swades' star Gayatri Joshi Oberoi has stepped back into the spotlight, not because of her film, but because of her opulent Mumbai residence. In a video posted by real estate YouTuber Enes Yilmazer, Gayatri offered a walkthrough of her 45th-floor apartment at Worli.
The luxury apartment spans 16,000 square feet, housing five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. With a price tag of Rs Rs 400 crore, this sky-high mansion is one of the most luxurious addresses in the country.
The private elevator lobby, expansive living spaces, and thoughtfully designed interiors reflect not just opulence, but deep attention to detail. 'We enjoy the 'work' too much to even call it that,' Gayatri says, explaining how she and husband Vikas Oberoi, the billionaire CEO of a realty firm, are personally invested in every design decision.
Blending Indian Soul with Global Style
In the video, Gayatri reveals how the home's aesthetic is a seamless blend of Indian craftsmanship and global elegance. Rich textures, layered tones, and a focus on functional luxury mark every corner of the space. 'It should feel like home the moment you step in,' she adds, describing how the flow of the home caters to intuitive, comfortable living.
Netizens React
Clips from the tour have found their way onto Reddit, where users reacted with awe, envy, and humour. While many were stunned by the scale and luxury of the Oberois' home, online reactions quickly turned into a mix of admiration and light-hearted humour. Some viewers couldn't help but marvel at the businessman's staggering $4.5 billion net worth, while others took a more playful approach. One comment read, "I am literally dumbstruck by the grand execution of this home!" Another one wrote, "The most striking feature here I think is the kitchen.
I have never seen such a clean and practical kitchen ever. The rest is also timeless."
Just a couple of years ago, Gayatri and Vikas Oberoi had made headlines after they met with a car accident in Italy, while on holiday.

'Sitaare Zameen Par' box office collection day 1 (LIVE): The Aamir Khan starrer has a decent start, expected to earn Rs 7-8 crore on opening day
'Sitaare Zameen Par' has now released in theatres on June 20, Friday. The film has been highly anticipated. Though it is not exactly a sequel to 'Taare Zameen Par', it is like a franchise movie which also deals with kids and brings across a special message. The early reviews of the film are encouraging and it may lead to growth in the box office numbers over the weekend. But on Day 1, the opening day number was clearly not expected to be huge, like Aamir's other movies like 'Dangal'. Sitaare Zameen Par Movie Review This clearly is a word of mouth movie and not those big mass blockbusters. Thus, as per trade analysts a single digit number is expected from the movie on day 1. According to Sacnilk, till Friday afternoon, the film has collected Rs 3.89 crore. The number can be expected to increase during the night shows. The film may end up having a Day 1 number of Rs 7.5 or 8 crore. Trade expert Taran Adarsh told ETimes, "This is a word of mouth film. This is not a Dhoom or 'Ghajini' that will open with a bang. Now, as I said, it all depends on the public reports. I think Rs 7.5 to 8 crore is what we are looking at." 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is expected to do better in multiplexes and in big cities as opposed to the two-tier, three tier centres where 'Housefull 5' may still dominate. But it all depends on positive word of mouth, which may eventually lead to more numbers over the weekend. Film trade expert Girish Wankhede, told Etimes, "At this moment, I can say that this film would not do more than 30-35 crores in the weekend." Day wise collection of 'Sitaare Zameen Par' Day 1 [1st Friday till afternoon] ₹ 3.89 Cr ** - Total ₹ 3.89 Cr

World Music Day: How indie musicians are changing the soundscape
Indie-music has become a global sound, with influences from various genres, including jazz, soul, RnB, and, apart from the Indian classical music and folk. On World Music Day, celebrated on June 21, we spotlight some indie musicians, who are constantly experimenting with sound. Vasundara Vee Swipe, tap and repeat is the new addiction. The highs of having access to unlimited information/entertainment feeds, yet being ignorant of the lows of living in a digital haze and FOMOs, defines a life driven by technology. Jazz and soul singer Vasundhara Vee's new single, 'Junk the blame', addresses this. Earlier, this year, Vasundhara made headlines for singing at famed fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee's 25th anniversary celebrations. The Mumbai-based singer is known as one of the powerhouse vocalists, who is credited with bringing time-tested genres such as RnB, Soul and Jazz to playlists of today's youth. 'A singer always has a message, which is channelled through his/her personality,' says Vasundhara. As a child, Vasundhara was quiet and soft-spoken. 'I found my calling in soul, jazz and blues. Music transformed me. It pushed me to communicate through words and sounds,' she adds. Abhishek Hazarika Noida-based singer, songwriter, rhythm guitarist, composer and independent musician, Abhishek Hazarika, is trained in Hindustani classical (vocal), acoustic and electric guitar. His debut album, Brightendash, comprising 10 tracks, consists of a grunge-rock sound, rooted in classic and alternative rock sensibilities. Abhishek is inspired by bands such as Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam, The Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, The Melvins, Oasis, Green Day, The Beatles, The Who, Grand Funk Railroad, Jimi Hendrix, Cream and REM. Grunge rock, a subgenre of the 90's hard rock, originated in Seattle, the U.S. 'Grunge Rock gives me the freedom to explore multiple styles of rock music. And that's how I came up with the songs in my album. Sarthak Sardana Sarthak Sardana, popular as Sartek, is a DJ and electronic dance-music producer. He has had releases with major global labels and even found support in legends like David Guetta, Tiësto and Hardwell. Over time, he felt the urge to add something local to his repertoire of sound. 'I wanted to blend folk and Bollywood with house-techno and Afro. So he came up with productions that fused Indian folk tunes with electronic beats. Today, it resonates on dancefloors around the world. 'It is all about creating a sound rooted in culture, but built for the future,' says Sartek. Neel Adhikari, Pushan Kripalani, Arijit Datta Singer-songwriters Neel Adhikari, Pushan Kripalani and Arijit Datta recently collaborated with Tiger Baby Records (Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti and Ankur Tewari) for their latest album City Sessions. Pushan is a filmmaker and theatre director-turned songwriter, synonymous with his collective Slight Diversion. The trio's debut EP, 'Borrowed Guitars', earned them critical acclaim with the track 'Man, boy and liar' topping the charts. When Pushan wrote his first song, he was inspired by a woman singing in Central Park, New York. 'She sang with just an acoustic guitar in front of a small crowd. The songs were her own, yet appealed to people because of the simplicity of its rendition,' he recalls. Singer-songwriter Arijit Datta is the frontman of the Hindi-Indie band, Airport, which is known for its bluesy, evocative sound. 'The sound of Airport feels like home. It holds the weight of everything I have lived through — silence, chaos and search. This genre gives me the freedom to be myself, to communicate what I cannot articulate verbally. Making music is my way of staying connected to my original self,' he shares. Neel Adhikari is the artiste behind the opening track of Netflix's Little Things and Modern Love: Mumbai. Neel sees his music spread over two areas — background score and song. He dislikes categorisation of music and finds it hard to imagine himself stuck to one genre. He adds that he is drawn to certain textures and sounds. 'If it comes from an instrument that has wood and strings, it usually sounds good to me. My songs have a lot of acoustic guitars, ukuleles, banjos and now mandolins too,' he shares. Neel also loves analogue synths and percussions from interesting sounding non-instruments. His lyrics are essentially a play at depth using simple language. Quite often, one finds deep or dark words over a chirpy tune in his songs. 'I love the existence of contrasting elements in a composition and the sound of melancholy. Being a journeyman, I enjoy the process but am also goal-oriented and I break my back trying to achieve a sound I have imagined,' he states.
