Actor who played Krishna in Ramanand Sagar show lived in a 10 by 10 kholi, used common bathroom; now owns a 4 BHK luxury flat in Mumbai with walk-in wardrobe
Actor Swapnil Joshi, famously known for playing Krishna in Ramanand Sagar's 1993 show Krishna, was born in a humble family and spent most of his years living in a 10 by 10 kholi in Mumbai. Despite marking his debut as an actor in 1989, he bought his dream home–a 4 BHK house–in 2015. A house, whose renovation he recently finished and now has everything he once dreamed of. Swapnil recently gave a home tour to Pinkvilla, where he shared his journey from a kholi in Girgaon to a luxury apartment with a national park view in Mumbai. Recalling his beginning, Swapnil shared, 'I used to live in a 10 by 10 Kholi with a common toilet and basic amenities, but had a fun life there.' Swapnil was driven to own a house of his own since a very young age. 'My father had always advised me that the foremost thing one should buy is home. You will be shocked to know that I bought my first ever house when I was 21. It was in Kandiwali. It was on loan. In between I did a lot of changes until I booked my dream home in 2015 and moved in here in 2016. It is a 4 BHK house. It is huge.' Swapnil's living room is decorated with a beautiful off-white sofa as well as an aesthetic wooden swing, hung in the middle of the living room facing towards the balcony which gives a beautiful view of the national park. 'My mom always wanted a swing in our house. She has her evening tea here.' The living room also has a modern glass centre table, complimenting the sofa and wooden flooring. ALSO READ | Mahavatar Narsimha box office collection day 13: Word-of-mouth sensation beats Son of Sardaar 2, Dhadak 2, and Saiyaara, earns Rs 112 crore The actor shared, 'The interiors have more to do with my children than me. My daughter decided the furniture, my son chose the television. Sirf paise mere hisaab se gaye hai (I only decide the budget).' One of the walls is decorated with a beautiful painting of Goddess Mahalakshmi. 'This is different avatar of Kolapur Mahalakshmi. She is our kuldevi,' shared the actor. While the house mostly is done in the colours white and black, the actor has used simple grey curtains to cover the balcony. The house's balcony is the quite corner of the house where Swapnil often meditates. 'Because my house is on the 31st floor, and meditation is all about not listening to the noise and concentrating inside. I try my best.' Another corner of the house, which the actor has converted as the dining area is decorated with a huge painting of him. 'Someone gifted this to me.' The same wall also features multiple empty frames. Sharing the idea behind the empty frames, Swapnil shared, 'I had gone to Paris a few years ago. There I visited a museum where I saw many empty frames hanging on the wall. I enquired the thought behind the empty frames. They told me, 'These frames are for the memories you will make in your present and future.' This thought stayed with me.' While showing his quiet dining area, Swapnil shared, 'We have a rule at our house. It is that every last meal of the day, we all have it together except for the days I am out for shoot or have late night shoots.' 'We also don't allow phones at our house. Once you enter the home, you cannot be on your phone. We have a common mobile for the house, like landlines in the old times. Everybody has its number. If they have something extremely important to share, they call on that number and not our personal phones.' The actor then moved to his newly built kitchen which has a special food counter. The motive behind was to make it easy for his wife Leena to serve her kids when they rush to their school. 'On the days when guests are invited, the windows of the counter close, making the living room a private space for chatter and banter.' His kitchen has a sliding door and is made in the colours black and white with a special glass cabinet built to store fancy crockeries. The next destination in the home tour was Swapnil's bedroom which has a walk-in wardrobe in the entrance–Swapnil's childhood dream. 'When I was young, I would often hear the term walk-in wardrobe. When I finally grew up and started to earn, I finally found out about the term walk-in wardrobe. Eventually, I found out that it is a room dedicated for clothes and accessories, and from where I have come, there used to be a room where we all used to live.' 'We had this one space, which used to become our bedroom at night with mattress all around. In the mornings, we would roll the mattress and it would become our sofa. We had a foldable dining table. I took my kids to the chawl we lived in for them to understand their roots. I wanted them to know where we have started from. They were shocked to see the small space.' Speaking about fulfilling his childhood dream of owning a walk-in wardrobe, Swapni shared, 'Even today, this space fascinates me. Sometimes I just come here, look at it and do nothing. I feel: 'Theek thaak hi karliya maine life mein jaha kapde ki jagah alag hai aur sone ki jagah alag hai (I have done well in life)'.' Swapnil also gave a tour of his kids Raaghav and Maayra's room which is decorated with soft toys, their medals, and trophies from Taekwondo championships. They both have their separate study tables. They are 9 and 7. Apart from their bedrooms, a smaller portion of his house is dedicated for puja. The room is filled with multiple pictures of Swapnil's Guru. In the room, Swapnil has also kept a 50-year-old almirah from the time of his parents wedding. 'When my mom and dad got married, this is the first thing they bought as a couple.' They are married for 52 years now. She never let us give away this almirah to anyone. She kept it ever since. She believes it brought her luck.' At last, Swapnil gave a tour of his balcony which opens to the East blessing their house with a beautiful view of sunrise every morning.

Lifafas, laddoos and love: A nostalgic walk through rakhi celebrations
Raksha Bandhan is more than a festival; it's a feeling, a memory, and a moment we carry in our hearts forever. For many of us, it brings back the joy of growing up with our siblings, creating handmade rakhis in school, decorating the house with paper streamers, and watching our mothers lovingly prepare sweets at home. In the '90s, Rakhi was all about family rituals, homemade mithai, and gifting lifafas with crisp Rs 10 or Rs 50 to 2025, the spirit is still alive, but the celebrations have changed. Siblings often live in different cities or countries, so rakhis are often sent through couriers or digital cards. Homemade sweets are replaced with Zomato or Swiggy orders, and sagan arrives via Google Pay. Yet, no matter how the methods change, the emotions remain article takes you on a nostalgic journey down memory lane, from the warmth of the past to the convenience of today, as we explore Raksha Bandhan. Rakhi memory lane: A nostalgic look at sibling love through the years (Image created by Vani Gupta) RAKHI IN THE '90S: A CELEBRATION FULL OF COLOUR AND CRAFTBack in the day, Rakhi was all about preparations that started days in advance. Sisters would create rakhis at school using wool, glitter, beads, and shiny stickers. Homes were decorated with handmade paper flowers, colourful dupattas, and marigold garlands. Mothers would start making besan laddoos or coconut barfis a day would get ready in crisp kurta-pyjamas, secretly hoping for an easy rakhi ritual and a delicious lunch afterwards. The gifting was simple lifafa with handwritten notes, comic books, or even a chocolate bar with a hug. But it meant the world. Rakhi memory lane: A nostalgic look at sibling love through the years (Image created by Vani Gupta) The thali had everything: rakhi, roli, chawal, diya, and sweets. Sisters would tie the rakhi while chanting small mantras learned from parents or siblings would fight over camera angles as photos were clicked with film roll cameras. Everyone posed awkwardly but lovingly. And despite all the teasing, drama, and fake anger, the day ended with a promise, "I'll always be there for you." Today, Rakhi is celebrated across borders. Sisters, courier rakhis weeks in advance or simply send an e-rakhi with a sweet message. Video calls replace face-to-face rituals, but the emotional connection stays have become more casual: meeting cousins at a caf, movie night with siblings, or a group Rakhi lunch outing. Sweets are ordered online, and sagan is sent via UPI. But even without the traditional thali, the feeling of being loved and remembered still touches the it's 1995 or 2025, what matters most is the love behind the gesture. While lifafas carried cash and secret notes earlier, now there's a notification from a money app saying, '500 from Bhaiya'. Happy Rakhi!'Earlier, we had photo albums full of printed pictures; now we post boomerangs and stories on Instagram. But scroll through those digital memories, and the smiles are still the same. Rakhi memory lane: A nostalgic look at sibling love through the years (Image created by Vani Gupta) CELEBRATIONS MAY EVOLVE, BUT THE BOND IS FOREVERThere's something magical about how Rakhi has evolved. While many people reminisce about the simplicity of the '90s, today's conveniences have their charm. They allow siblings to stay connected despite the distance, and that is worth celebrating. Both the traditional and modern eras possess their unique beauty. The past has gifted us memories, the present helps us maintain connections, and the future holds the promise of more stories to cherish. Raksha Bandhan isn't defined by how you celebrate, but rather by why you celebrate. Whether you tie a rakhi at home with your brother or send one across the globe, what truly matters is the love behind the ritual. Rakhi memory lane: A nostalgic look at sibling love through the years (Image created by Vani Gupta) So this Rakhi, take a moment to reflect on those childhood memories: the handmade rakhis, mom's sweets, and the lifafas. Smile at how far you and your sibling have come. Then, whether you send a digital rakhi, take a screenshot, or plan an outing at your favourite cafe, remember that the bond you share is timeless, just like the festival itself.- Ends

Himachal Pradesh: 1000 New Buses To Hit The Roads, Including 327 EVs
Last Updated: Supply orders for 297 electric buses have been issued, and the government is planning to add 500 more. The Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) will induct 1000 new buses in a phased manner to strengthen public transport infrastructure and improve connectivity across the state, Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri said on Wednesday. He said 24 new Volvo buses have already been added to the fleet, while the procurement process is underway for 327 electric buses (297 Type-1 and 30 Type-3), 250 diesel buses and 100 mini-buses. Supply orders for 297 electric buses have been issued, and plans are in place to procure 500 more to boost the state's green mobility initiative, the deputy CM added. 'Keeping in view the challenging terrain of the state, priority is being given to acquiring smaller and more accessible buses with seating capacities ranging from 37 to 42 seats. These buses will enable the corporation to extend its services more effectively to far-flung and remote areas" Agnihotri said. HRTC currently operates around 3,200 buses. 'For the first time in the state's history, 1000 buses are being replaced, a milestone unmatched by any previous administration," he said, adding that this would enhance operational capacity and passenger comfort. The deputy CM further said that the government is committed to environmental protection, with around Rs 110 crore approved for establishing electric charging stations across the state. 'While the procurement of electric buses is being undertaken directly by the government, HRTC is financing the purchase of diesel buses through its own resources", he added. 'To ensure last-mile connectivity in difficult terrain, 100 mini-buses are also being procured. These buses will play a critical role in reaching underserved areas and strengthening rural transport infrastructure and serve as a benchmark for other states across the country" he said. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
