Mumbai is often known for cramped spaces, absence of anything like a balcony, and small houses. But that definitely isn't the case with Ahaan Panday's family house in Mumbai. The Saiyaara actor, who must be on the top of the world celebrating his debut film, lives with father Chikki Panday and mother Deanne Panday. Previously, his sister Alanna gave a tour of their palatial mansion in Mumbai on her YouTube channel.
Spread across four floors, the house is gigantic as her father hosted Alanna's wedding here as well. Parts of the house were seen in Amazon Prime Video's show The Tribe as well. Alanna started the tour by telling the viewers that previously, the entire Panday family used to stay together, which includes Chuunky Panday's side of the family as well. She then revealed that she didn't have fingerprint access to get inside of the house, as she now resides in Los Angeles with husband Ivor. However, Ivor, who was also a part of the video, shared, 'But my fingerprint works, so I got it; don't worry.'

As they get inside, we see a huge front yard with an equally large dining table in the middle of it. 'If you have watched some of our YouTube videos, you might recognise this part of the house. We had our engagement ceremony in here, the bridal shower, and even our haldi ceremony happened here.'

Alanna explained how the entire family loves nature, and that's why the house has a lot of plants, and in fact, one of the seating areas in the front yard is wrapped around a tree. She shared that the entire staff that works in the house live in flats constructed by her father, and these are a part of the property as well. She said, 'My dad made these for them because if they lived inside the house, they wouldn't have a place they could call their own. This way they can decorate it the way they like and make the place feel more personal.'
We then move into the house, where we see a small decorative pool, but it has been emptied out because, according to Alanna, the 'pets think that it's their own pool', so they can't fill it up with water anymore. She showed the audience two separate living rooms facing each other, as they constantly keep having people over and they need a lot of seating.

Alanna then showed the dining table of the family, which she thinks is 'useless' because everyone eats dinner at separate times, and they only use it for really formal dinners or gatherings. The house has a big skylight at the top, and it has been kept at an angle so that the harsh sunlight of the summers doesn't affect the temperature of the house.
Alanna showed the fans several outdoor spaces spread across the house as she goes up the stairs and explains how her father is a bit paranoid. 'He has cameras and fingerprintscanners everywhere; he is a little bit paranoid. Whenever we are working around the house, I and Ivor always say, 'Chikki is watching.'' Alanna then showed the viewers the game room, which she said, 'doesn't match the vibe of the rest of the house because Ahaan and his friends hang out there.'
Ahaan also made an appearance in the video. He opened the door as his sister began to explain what they were doing and asked him whether they could see his room. Ahaan said, 'You want to show everyone my room? I think you will like it; it's very beautiful right now. Just give me one second,' as he proceeded to shut the door and lock it. Alanna tried knocking again but turns away defeated.
