When Farah Khan visited Sonu Sood’s brand-new Mumbai bungalow for her vlog, it felt more like catching up with an old friend.
“Aaj main mere bohot khaas friend ke ghar aayi hoon. Aap log ne filmon mein heroes to dekhe honge lekin yeh asli life mein hero hai,” Farah said as she entered the actor’s home, setting the tone for a playful walkthrough of Sood’s life off-camera.
Named ‘Gangotri,’ Sonu’s sprawling residence in Mumbai, reportedly worth ₹20 crore according to Jugyah, mirrors his grounded personality despite his star status. With a touch of Punjab in the décor and vibe, Farah couldn’t help but exclaim, “Sonu ji ka ghar aisa lag raha hai hum log Punjab mein aa gaye hain.”
The house opens with a grand entrance featuring a Buddha statue and a cosy outdoor seating space, surrounded by lush greenery. The name ‘Gangotri’ stands tall at the gate, both in English and Hindi, marking its identity. The interiors boast a pristine white-and-beige palette, from the sofa set in the living area to the stylish dining space that leads up a gorgeous white staircase.
Farah quipped about Sonu’s calm composure and his Punjab-inspired hospitality as they toured the outdoor seating.
The tour also offered a glimpse into Sonu’s personal spaces. His elder son Ishant’s room, showcasing a self-made car canvas, stands out with its grey-themed décor and private exit. His younger son Ahaan’s room brings in vibrant anime art and a splash of yellow furniture, highlighting the playful side of the household.
The first floor features a sleek media room with white sofas and a massive TV, a space Sonu uses for meetings. But the showstopper? A unique thread art portrait gifted by a fan, something Sonu proudly showcased to Farah.

And of course, there’s the shared sneaker room. Sonu and his sons, all sharing the same shoe size, built this sneaker haven together. Outside, a serene balcony surrounded by trees, including a mango tree, completes the homely yet luxurious vibe.
Farah summed it up best when she said, “Wow, just a nice house, looks like Om Shanti Om set,” to which Sonu replied, “Yes, it’s inspired by that only.”
