Inside Gautam Gambhir's Lavish Rs 20 Crore Delhi Mansion
Former Indian cricketer and current coach Gautam Gambhir recently offered an exclusive tour of his stunning two-storey mansion in Delhi, providing a rare look into his personal life and the opulence of his home. Located in the prestigious Old Rajinder Nagar locality, this property is valued at an impressive Rs 20 crore, showcasing a blend of elegance and comfort.
A Serene and Bright Abode
The mansion opens into a vast, lush green lawn adorned with a well-maintained garden, tall trees, and numerous potted plants, creating a tranquil and refreshing atmosphere. Inside, the home is bathed in natural light, thanks to a massive skylight at its center. Painted entirely in white, the interiors exude a clean, elegant, and royal aesthetic, complemented by artefacts and grand chandeliers that enhance its grandeur.
Elegant Living and Dining Spaces
The drawing room and dining area are seamlessly integrated into one large room, tastefully decorated with sofas in white, beige, and powder blue shades. A highlight is the dining table set with an all-silver dinner set, reflecting Gambhir's Punjabi heritage and love for entertaining guests, though he admits he is not a foodie himself. The white chairs around the table maintain the cohesive color scheme of the space.
Personal Touches and Family Life
Gambhir and his wife, Natasha Jain, also shared glimpses of their daughters' rooms—Aazeen and Anaiza Gambhir. These spaces reflect the girls' distinct personalities: one room is filled with over 150 dolls, while the other features a piano, showcasing a passion for music. Gambhir emphasized that his daughters see him solely as a father, not as a cricket legend, highlighting the importance of family in his life.
Insights into Gambhir's Cricketing Philosophy
During the interview, Gambhir delved into his deep connection with cricket, stating, "There is no bigger honour when you stand for the national anthem. You have the opportunity to bring smiles on 140 crore Indians. That is for me is a game of cricket." He explained his dual identity: "On the field, I am Gambhir. At home, I am Gautam," underscoring the separation between his professional intensity and personal warmth.
The Legacy Room: Trophies and Memorabilia
A recently renovated lounge room serves as a tribute to Gambhir's illustrious career, displaying medals and trophies, including those from India's historic T20 World Cup victory in 2007. He also revealed the jersey he wore during the 2011 50-over World Cup final, which remains unwashed and signed by all team members, now framed as a cherished memento. "Winning this World Cup at home was an unbelievable feeling," he recalled.
Reflections on Challenges and Smiles
Gambhir reflected on his childhood challenges, noting the anxiety of leaving home at a young age for tournaments, and how returning home for a hug is priceless. When asked about his serious demeanor on the cricket pitch, he explained, "The reason why I have that game face or intense game face on is that I am in a profession where people don't come to watch me smile. Unfortunately, people come to watch me win." This insight offers a deeper understanding of his competitive spirit and dedication to the sport.
