Sonam Kapoor’s Mumbai home, which she shares with her husband Anand Ahuja and their son Vayu, was recently featured in a video tour for Architectural Digest India. The luxurious and beautifully curated space has captivated many fans, showcasing a blend of elegance and India-inspired design. However, one fan humorously pointed out that amidst all the opulence, the only seemingly affordable item in the home was a simple ‘steel balti (bucket)’.A fan page shared a clip from Sonam Kapoor’s home tour where she talked about the decor in her bar area. In the video, a ‘steel balti’ (bucket) was used as a vase and placed among several glass vases on a marble and wooden table. This simple item stood out in the elegant setting, adding a unique touch to the decor. The caption read, “Steel balti… the only thing I can afford from her lavish Mumbai home.” Sonam was heard saying in the clip, “This is actually an old Indian balti or bucket… these balties were basically used to have a bath. So, I use it as a vase in the house and I kind of love it.”Sonam Kapoor’s home is a perfect example of maximalism, filled with bold and vibrant decor. In her interview with Architectural Digest, the actor, who was last seen in Blind (2023), talked about the inspiration behind her home’s unique design, “I know some of my contemporaries will find my taste too grown-up, but my approach was twofold: firstly, I would like to be an ambassador for Indian decorative arts, and secondly, I wanted to emulate, with a fresh slant, the houses I grew up in.”
