Inside Alpana Buch's Mumbai Home: A Celebration Of Indian Craft And Memories
Last Updated: Best known for her role as Leela in Anupamaa, actor Alpana Buch recently gave her fans a glimpse of her soulful Mumbai abode. Alpana Buch, widely loved for her portrayal of Leela, Anupamaa's feisty and endearing mother-in-law in the hit show Anupamaa, has long been a familiar face on Indian television. But off-screen, she finds solace in a space that's as layered, warm, and expressive as her on-screen character. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, the actor opened the doors of her thoughtfully curated apartment in Mumbai, which is a true reflection of her love for Indian heritage, art, and family. A Home That Breathes Indian Artistry From the moment you step in, Alpana's home feels less like a city apartment and more like a lovingly assembled cultural tapestry. At the entrance, a handcrafted nameplate, made using an authentic Maharashtrian khana saree, sets the tone. Beside it, a Gond-style painting made by her daughter instantly catches the eye. Inside, every item tells a story. There's not a single showroom piece in sight. Instead, the decor is a blend of handwoven, hand-painted, and handmade. All pieces in Alpana's home have been sourced from skilled artisans across India or crafted by her family members. Inside Alpana Buch's Living Room The living room is grounded in earthy hues, thanks to its warm terracotta-colored walls. A television sits on the main wall, perched above a handcrafted jute console. Between two comfortable sofas rests a modest coffee table that invites intimate conversations. But it's the details that truly sing: paper-cut artworks, tribal Warli paintings, a striking pattachitra-painted kettle, a vintage gramophone, and a paper vase. Cultural nods from Assam to Africa also make an appearance, reflecting the family's admiration for global folk traditions. The curtains, made from vibrant Khand fabric, filter in the light with a traditional charm. The open kitchen stands out for its elegant simplicity. Adopting a monochrome palette, it strikes a balance between functionality and aesthetic appeal. Compact cabinets line the space, neatly housing everyday essentials. A tall island counter with high stools doubles as a casual dining spot. A Hallway Of Family And Time A narrow corridor leading to the bedrooms serves as a nostalgic gallery wall. Framed photographs capture cherished family moments, making this passage not just a transition space but a moving tribute to togetherness.

The room features a study nook, a spacious cupboard, and a bed, all framed against walls dotted with her daughter's paintings. The doorway bears a charming mix of souvenirs brought back from travels to Kerala and Himachal Pradesh. top videos View all Alpana's room exudes tranquillity. Anchored by a sturdy king-size bed and lined with classic furnishings, it's a restful retreat. But perhaps the most fascinating element is a vintage painting from Kashmir, estimated to be over three decades old, that adds both historical and emotional depth to the space. Alpana's home is more than just a place to live: it's a personal museum, a creative playground, and a living embodiment of India's rich artisanal spirit. Every nook, from the curated corners to the memory-laden walls, speaks of intention, emotion, and a deep-rooted love for all things handmade and heartfelt.
