‘Home was this ship': Inside Jim Sarbh's not-so-minimalist Spanish beach villa
If Jim Sarbh's sprawling Delhi mansion in the series Made in Heaven had you drooling, his Spanish Villa in Maharashtra's Dahanu is straight out of an architect's dreams. In an episode of Where the Heart Is on Asian Paints YouTube channel, the Padmaavat actor took us on a tour of his beachfront abode. Let's take a look. As the video begins, Sarbh reveals that the stunning Colonial-style mansion is a family property. His father was the captain of a cargo ship, and by the time he was two, he had 'sailed all over the world.' His nomadic lifestyle made him feel like he belonged to every place that he lived in, yet he felt like an 'alien' in all. 'Home was this ship,' he shared as he introduced his villa. The villa features wide arches, open spaces, and courtyards – surrounded by a large garden. A grand staircase leads you to an outdoor swimming pool on the first floor, with fantastic views of the sea. An open home through and through, the actor's hospitality and love for hosting are evident in the warmth that echoes off the house's walls. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO Not a fan of minimalism, as it has taken away 'an eye for design', Sarbh has decorated his space with cabinets and ornaments that are full of character. His favourite area in the house? The verandah, where he can get the feeling of being 'inside and outside' at the same time. Favourite time of the day, however, is the evening, when the water recedes and allows an opportunity to walk across the mud flats. He added that the property's highlight is its proximity to the beach. The heritage property boasts a strong theme of preservation as well, with Sarbh revealing that the home has been lovingly cared for by him and his family for decades, which is visibly apparent in the way the paint on the woodwork and layers on the walls shine with lustre.
