Shankar Mahadevan's luxurious bungalow named 'Sahana' is an hour away from Mumbai and situated in the beautiful countryside. The moment one steps inside the main gate of the house, there are just green trees and plants lining both sides of the road leading to their house as it is nestled at the center of it. When it comes to the interior of the house, it is filled with bright and lively colours with shades of yellows ruling the space. L-shaped yellow sofas pushed against the curtained windows, benches and chairs placed around the living room to accommodate several guests at once, a floral sofa set on the other side of the room and yellow walls make the space livelier.
The bedroom is another aspect with simplicity yet a feeling that reminds you of home. The bed is placed next to the window, a bookshelf on the other side against the wall, a two-seater sofa opposite the bed and the window further leading to an expansive balcony, which overlooks the beauty of greenery. The best part of their home is the gazebo to spend out a beautiful morning at.
