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 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.” The house has been decorated by Vivek’s wife Priyanka.

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.Click here to follow Screen Digital on YouTube and stay updated with the latest from the world of cinema.© IE Online Media Services Pvt Ltd
