Inside Madhuri Dixit and Dr Shriram Nene’s 5,500-sq-ft Mumbai penthouse with sea views and M F Husain art

Madhuri Dixit and her husband, Dr Shriram Nene, share a luxurious penthouse in Mumbai’s Lower Parel, boasting an impressive 5,500 square feet of space. This modern masterpiece seamlessly blends contemporary design with artistic flair, featuring a carefully assembled collection of furniture and artwork.

During a visit, filmmaker Farah Khan and her cook, Dilip, were given the tour of the opulent residence. The highlight of the property, according to the couple, is its extensive art collection, including framed pieces by the renowned Indian artist M F Husain.

Upon entering the living area, visitors are greeted by a fusion of contemporary furniture and rich hues. The semi-curved seating, including a midnight blue sofa and neutral-toned chairs, encourages comfortable interaction. A striking textured dark brown accent wall provides a striking contrast to the otherwise neutral color palette, while floor-to-ceiling sheer white curtains allow ample natural light to illuminate the room.

Artwork by M F Husain adorns the space, adding vibrant pops of color against the minimalist backdrop. The dining area, which doubles as a music corner, showcases an oval marble-top table surrounded by quilted chairs in rich shades. A statement lighting fixture hangs above the table, complementing the sleek design.

The open-plan layout accommodates a music corner, reflecting the family's passion for music. A grand piano and dedicated spaces for musical instruments like guitars and drums add a creative dimension to the home.

A sleek, modern kitchen features handle-less cabinetry in muted wood and dark grey finishes, paired with sleek countertops and warm under-cabinet lighting. A vertical wall garden introduces greenery, softening the modern aesthetics with a touch of nature.

Dedicated entertainment and lounge spaces cater to family time, with large televisions paired with high-end sound systems and speakers. Personalized touches, such as a massive painting inspired by Dr Nene's life, gifted by a friend, further enhance the home's unique character. Interior stylist Rubeena Singh highlights the use of traditional Indian materials and furniture forms, which can beautifully complement modern designs.
