Abhiijeet Saawant—India’s first-ever Indian Idol winner—has come a long way since his soaring debut. Known for his soulful voice and heartfelt songs, he still remains a presence in Indian entertainment. In this walkthrough, he opens up his home and shares the story behind every treasure that adorns it.He begins in the living room, pointing to a Ganesh idol, received when his career took off, a personal emblem of the very start. “This is not just a Ganesh ji ki murti, but this is the first murti which I got from Sony Channel…yahi mera journey shuru hoti hai,” Saawant said.“Mera first album Sony Music ne produce kiya tha, aur unhone mujhe yeh ek first token of love diya tha.” Next to it hangs a nameplate that once stood in his house during Marathi Bigg Boss. “Maine apne ghar ke baahar bhi yahi plate lagayi hai.”Then comes his favourite spot: the rocking chair. “Sabse favourite woh hai meri rocking chair… yahan pe baitho, play game, watch a movie, and easy life.” That simple phrase says it’s all about seeking comfort in life’s quiet moments.“Simple, normal sofa hai. Hum log jab chhote ghar mein rehte the before Indian Idol bahaut hi kam jagah hua karti thi aur ussi jagah mein bahaut saara samaan hua karta tha, ussi ko vapis nahi karna tha represent,” Saawant said.Across the room is a tender work of art: “Yeh hai ek Japanese art piece, jise meri friend Namrata ne design kiya hai… hum bhi chaar log hain, isliye yeh piece mere liye bahut khaas hai, yahi hai hamara Saawant parivaar.” Blocks come together to form a family.The wall proudly displays his Indian Idol trophy, his Sony album trophy, the Mirchi Music Award for “Sar Sukhachi Shravan­i,” and an MTV award. “When I came out of Marathi Bigg Boss… Ritesh ji ne mujhe ek token of love diya tha.”Story continues below this adA shift to the dining area reveals another layer of home as lived and shared: “Yeh area hai jahaan poori family sabse zyada time bitati hai… painting, padhai, baatein, parties, sab yahaan hota hai.” The dining table is the oldest furniture in the home, once huge, now modest, but timeless. “It’s the oldest thing in my house.”In the kitchen, the pastel theme stands out: “Pistachio tone… colours jo suit karte hain… some things even connect with vastu.” And yes, he joked about kitchen hacks: “MasterChef mein jo trick use karta tha… piyaz kaise kaatte…” But his real oasis? The balcony—“Samundar… hawa… meditation jaisa… coffee leke jhule pe… bahut shanti.”Inside, his music studio awaits. Surrounded by paintings, gifts, tokens of love from fans, he says: “I keep them as memories… woh sab wahi cheezein hain.” The home pulses with emotions, melodies, and gratitude.Lastly, in the children’s room, family warmth gets visual form: “Older one Ahana, younger one Meera… typical pink room nahi… their favorite colours… crochet items painted by my elder daughter… wallpaper… homely feel.”Story continues below this adAs he signs off, he smiles: “Thank you so much, Mashable India—tumhe mere ghar ka ek chhota darshan diya… I hope tum sab aao… Thank you so much for coming. See you!” The room echoes softly with music—closing the tour with homegrown grace. For more lifestyle news, click here to join our WhatsApp Channel and also follow us on Instagram© IE Online Media Services Pvt LtdTags:indian idol
