Pankaj Tripathi, who is gearing up for the release of ‘Mirzapur: The Movie’, believes that if you want a fairytale, you must build one yourself. That’s exactly what the actor did with his house, ‘Roop Katha’, in Mumbai. Seeking a calm escape from the city’s chaos, the actor found his slice of peace on Madh Island, where he built a holiday home that reflects his simple and grounded lifestyle.
Pankaj Tripathi’s dream was fulfilled in 2019
According to GQ India, Pankaj Tripathi, who has spent over two decades in the entertainment industry, finally fulfilled his dream of owning a house in 2019. Located on Madh Island, the home offers an uninterrupted, breathtaking view of the Arabian Sea. Unlike the glitzy homes of many Bollywood celebrities, Tripathi’s abode stands out for its simple, minimalistic design and rural charm, complete with a spacious entrance and lush green surroundings.The actor opted for an all-white exterior, naming the home ‘Roop Katha’. Inside, the house features wooden furniture crafted by Mysore artisans, curated artefacts, plenty of plants, large windows that let in natural light, and a well-equipped, spacious kitchen.
Pankaj Tripathi’s village-style holiday home in Mumbai
Known for his versatility and commanding screen presence in films like ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, Pankaj Tripathi is equally admired for his belief in simple living, something that shines through in his holiday home. Back in 2023, the actor gave fans a virtual tour of his village-themed retreat on the Mashable India YouTube channel, turning many into admirers of his understated lifestyle. Here’s a look back at the haven Tripathi built for himself.
The regal entrance of Pankaj Tripathi’s house
The entrance of Pankaj Tripathi’s home exudes regal charm, featuring elegant pillars and sprawling lawns. The all-white colour scheme lends an extra touch of grace to the property, setting the tone for the rest of the house.
Pankaj Tripathi opted for a kitchen with earthy elements
The tour’s next stop was the kitchen, fully equipped, spacious, and designed for both cooking and relaxing. One standout feature is a large window, a clever design choice that the ‘Mirzapur’ star explained is used to pass freshly made pakodas straight into the garden. Another interesting element in the kitchen is a clay pot, as the actor prefers drinking naturally cooled water from earthen pots over refrigerated water. Adding to the rustic charm is a traditional mud stove used for preparing authentic homestyle meals.
Pankaj Tripathi goes for classy interiors
During the virtual tour, Pankaj Tripathi showcased two special artefacts gifted to him by the divisional forest officer of Kaziranga National Park, a one-horned rhino and a tusker. The interiors also feature a rosewood dining table crafted by artisans from Mysore. The beauty of the space is enhanced further when natural light streams in through the large windows, illuminating every corner.
The lush green outdoors
The garden at Pankaj Tripathi’s home is nothing short of picturesque. Surrounded by tall trees, the space offers a refreshing burst of greenery. The actor enjoys homegrown, seasonal produce like mangoes and kathal straight from his garden. Versatile in its use, the sprawling outdoor area doubles up as a bird-watching spot and even transforms into a makeshift football field whenever needed.
