Inside Vivek Oberoi's Dubai home: The ‘money-man' with the net worth of Rs 1200 crore who grows ‘kadhi patta' and collects ‘desi' art
Actor Vivek Oberoi, who started earning from his business endeavours as early as the age of 19, recently opened up his Dubai home to the fans and gave a look inside the 'home away from home' that he and his wife, Priyanka, have built. Situated in the scenic and glorious Meadows, where the prices of a house can range from Rs 11 crore all the way to Rs 50 crore. The house exudes class and panache while paying tribute to Vivek's childhood memories of growing up in Mumbai.
Starting with the story behind the house, Vivek credited his wife for the entire episode and said that he is now glad that they didn't move to downtown Dubai, like he initially wanted to. 'I didn't even select the location of this house. All of this – the house, the interior, and the design – all credit goes to Priyanka; she is the boss. Both of us love paintings, but I was the one who chose all the art for the house, all 'desi' painters. The rest of it is all Priyanka. She is in love with the whole 'vintage' and 'homey' style of decor. We are also surrounded by a lot of greenery, and my wife is a 'constant' gardener,' Vivek shared with Curly Tales.

He mentioned how the greenery, the paintings and certain things around the house keep their memories of India alive, yet according to Vivek, home is still Mumbai. He said, 'If you ask me where home is, it is still Mumbai, because even now when I go back there, I don't feel like returning to Dubai. But I love living here as well, and I think it's trying to have the best of both worlds. We have tried to recreate a lot of our memories; we are surrounded by a lot of water; we have got the gulmohar trees that I grew up around in Juhu; and we have our own organic garden with curry leaves and some vegetables once in a while.'
As an entrepreneur who handles a vast portfolio containing several businesses and is worth more than Rs 1200 crore, Vivek knows the importance of a relaxing home. He mentioned how he slowly eases up as he returns to his home after a long day and how even though handling businesses can be chaotic, he is happy with the life he leads here. Vivek said, 'The move to Dubai was business orientated, and your home should be a place which is very easy on you. Being able to spend time with your kids and come back from work at a reasonable hour. I get to live the 'non-film' life here that I never had in India. We try our best to keep it simple here.'
Talking about his 'film' life, Vivek was last seen in Kesari Veer, alongside Suniel Shetty and Suraj Pancholi, and has several projects currently in the pipeline.

Meet Pushpa star Allu Arjun's wife, Sneha Reddy, never acted in films, runs her own business of..., has net worth of Rs...
In a jaw-dropping 24 hours, Pushpa 2: The Rule shattered records, soaring past Rs 282 crore at the box office—wagging tongues have even whispered of eclipsing Jawan and Baahubali 2. But while Allu Arjun's swagger fuels this juggernaut, the silent power behind the scenes is his wife, Allu Sneha Reddy. The roar around Pushpa 2 isn't just hype—it's historic. With that one-day haul, the sequel vaulted to become India's biggest opening ever. And at the center of it stands Allu Arjun, reprising his gangster-turned-hero role with ferocious finesse. His fee of a staggering Rs 300 crore isn't just money—it's legacy. Forbes confirms what insiders knew: Arjun is India's highest-paid actor of 2024, touching a lifetime fortune of Rs 460 crore. Who is she? Sneha Reddy doesn't chase limelight, yet her influence is undeniable. A Scorpio-born engineer who studied at MIT Cambridge and holds a master's degree in computer science from the US, she's driven by intellect and innovation. After returning to India, she took charge at her father's engineering institute, SCT Institute of Technology, steering academic excellence and placements. Her entrepreneurial streak gave birth to Studio Picaboo in 2016—a boutique photo studio in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. Arjun celebrated her launch with a heartfelt Instagram shoutout: 'PICABOO! A startup by my wife… creating great pictures and memories for everyone.' Beyond the spotlight With over nine million Instagram followers, Sneha has carved her niche as a low-profile powerhouse. Her net worth—estimated at around Rs 42 crore ($5 million)—may not rival her superstar husband's, but it reflects something more potent: her independence. The power couple Arjun's empire includes a private jet, a sprawling Jubilee Hills bungalow, a lineup of luxury cars, and endorsement deals that fill bank accounts faster than royalties. With Pushpa 2's mind-bending success, his wealth is only set to swell. But the man at the centre of the storm stands firm because of the woman at his side. Their love story began more than a decade ago—an arranged-meets-at-wedding click moment that became legend. Engaged in 2010, married in 2011, they now parent two children: Ayaan (born 2014) and Arha (2016). Together, they share a journey rooted in love, partnership, and mutual respect. What to watch next Pushpa 2's opening triumph confirms Arjun's indomitable star power. Yet Sneha's narrative offers a richer subplot: a journey from scholar to entrepreneur, the silent strength in the shadows, and the woman whose unwavering spirit forms the backbone of the 'Pushpa' phenomenon. In a spectacle built on muscle and swag, it's her brains and balance that keep the structure from toppling. And for fans and critics alike, the invisible force behind the icon is just as fascinating as the man himself.

Sonakshi Sinha Recalls Chilling Encounter With A 'Harmless Ghost' At Home: 'I Froze...'
Last Updated: During promotions for her paranormal film Nikita Roy, Sonakshi Sinha opened up about a chilling real-life ghostly encounter at her home. After dazzling audiences in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi, actor Sonakshi Sinha is gearing up for the release of her upcoming paranormal film Nikita Roy. Fittingly, during promotions for the movie, Sonakshi shared an eerie real-life brush with the supernatural — one that shook her long-held disbelief in ghosts. In a candid chat with Bollywood Hungama, Sonakshi revealed that until recently, she didn't believe in ghosts or paranormal phenomena at all. But one unsettling incident at her own home left her questioning everything. 'I used to not believe. I used to not believe at all," she said. 'But one day, something very weird happened to me in my house. Since then, I've been a little shaken. But after that, nothing happened, so I thought, maybe it was a dream? It was a harmless ghost — possibly." The encounter took place around 4 am, while she was in that blurry state between sleep and wakefulness. 'I was in that stage where your eyes are shut but your mind is alert," she explained. 'Suddenly, I felt this pressure, like someone was trying to wake me up. I was terrified. I just froze. I didn't open my eyes. I couldn't move. I stayed like that till morning — I didn't open my eyes until the lights came on. It really shook me up." The experience left such a strong impression that Sonakshi even spoke out loud to the mysterious entity the next night, hoping to ward off any future visits. 'When I came home the next night, it was late again. I peeked in first, then said very loudly: 'Jo bhi aaya tha kal raat ko, phirse aise mat karo. Main bohot darr gayi thi. Agar kuch baat karni hai toh mere sapne mein aana… no face-to-face conversation.' And then I walked in. I swear, since then, nothing like that has happened again." Earlier this year, Sonakshi also made headlines for selling her plush Bandra home for Rs 22.5 crore — though no ghosts were reportedly included in the deal. First Published: June 21, 2025, 20:06 IST
