Kinara: Inside Shilpa Shetty’s Sea-Facing Juhu Bungalow Where Spirituality Meets Stardom
From serene prayers to luxe interiors, a rare peek into Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra’s Rs 100 crore Mumbai home reveals more than just opulence.
A few steps from the sea in Mumbai’s Juhu neighborhood stands Kinara, the sprawling bungalow where actor Shilpa Shetty and entrepreneur Raj Kundra have made a life built on more than celebrity. With its sweeping sea view and a valuation of around Rs 100 crore, the house is a landmark in its own right—but it’s the lived-in, spiritual quality of the space that has people talking.
The couple moved into Kinara several years ago, shaping the 5.2-acre property into a reflection of their personalities: part glamorous, part grounded. And while the house has always attracted attention, it’s been back in the news following a tense moment on a family trip abroad that caught social media by storm.
A Home Built with Intention, Not Just Money
Kinara isn’t your standard showpiece mansion. The design, led by Ahsan Ansari with interiors by Sussanne Roshan, is both extravagant and deeply personal. At the entrance, an ornate wooden door carved with lotus motifs opens into a foyer that doesn’t scream wealth—it hums it quietly.
Inside, the textures speak for themselves: marble floors, warm golds and creams, wooden accents, and light pouring in through tall windows. There’s a mix of traditional Indian craftsmanship and global style—zebra print cushions here, a carved wooden horse sculpture there. It’s eclectic, but not accidental.
The living room has become something of a fan favorite, often appearing in Shilpa’s Instagram posts with her children sprawled across the sofas or her mother seated with folded hands near the temple during festivals.
Not Just a Temple, a Way of Life
At the heart of the home lies an in-house mandir, built with care and purpose. It’s not tucked into a corner but holds a central presence—visible, open, and used daily. According to multiple verified interviews and social posts, Shilpa and Raj often gather here with their kids, Viaan and Samisha, for morning prayers.
During Diwali, this space becomes a hub of celebration: diyas lined along the steps, floral garlands wrapped around idols, and family dressed in coordinated Indian wear. It’s not curated for Instagram; it’s simply how they celebrate.
Living Room for Living, Not Just Showing Off
Forget the idea of a cold, magazine-ready living area. Kinara’s main hall has the feeling of a family room that just happens to look like a five-star lounge. It features oversized white sofas, a few quirky elements like an antique telescope and horse-head lamps, and large glass doors that open to a lawn facing the sea.
It’s a place where their kids play, where conversations stretch late into the evening, and where Sunday breakfasts roll into afternoon naps.
Health Is Not Just A Hashtag Here
Anyone who follows Shilpa knows about her wellness journey, and Kinara supports it fully. A dedicated gym and yoga room is built right into the home, offering views of both the garden and the sea. The actor has mentioned in past interviews that the sea breeze makes her workouts more peaceful—even the challenging ones.
Near the back garden is a small organic vegetable patch that the family reportedly uses for herbs and greens. It’s humble, but it says something about their attempt to balance luxury with sustainability.
Dining With a Side of Cricket
The dining area is another space where the family’s personality shows through. There’s a 12-seater wooden table under a chandelier, but what catches your eye is the bar—stocked not just with spirits, but with cricket memorabilia, including bats signed by players.
Raj Kundra’s former links to cricket leagues are well-known, but in this context, it feels more like nostalgia than branding.
When Croatia Interrupted the Calm
In early June, the Shetty-Kundra family flew to Hvar Island, Croatia, to celebrate Shilpa’s 50th birthday. A video that surfaced online, however, showed her in a verbal exchange at a restaurant.
Many were quick to judge. But according to a statement by Raj Kundra, the family had booked a large table nearly a year in advance for over 20 relatives, including elders. A “double booking error” led to their table being given away. When they protested, the staff allegedly asked them to keep quiet, which further upset the group.
Raj described the incident as “deeply disheartening,” especially given the presence of senior family members who had been looking forward to the dinner.
Social Media Reactions: Mixed and Loud
Online, people were split. Some questioned the tone of the argument. Others pointed out that if a family plans a trip months in advance and gets turned away, frustration is bound to show. One comment read, “They may be celebrities, but they’re also human. Anyone would react like that.”
The incident, though brief, brought Kinara back into the public eye—reminding people where the family truly feels at home.
Kinara Is Where It All Comes Together
This is where the real story is. Kinara isn’t just a home full of pretty things. It’s a space where Diwali aartis happen on schedule, where Raj walks barefoot on the lawn at sunrise, where kids run around the pool in school uniforms, and where a Bollywood actor resets from her fast-paced life.
In a city that doesn’t slow down, Kinara is a place where this family does.
