‘Happy Patel’ actor Vir Das’s new Mumbai home: A glimpse into his “no-decor” yet aesthetically pleasing space |
One of the most talked about films of 2026, ‘Happy Patel’, is finally releasing in theatres on January 16, 2026. Actor-comedian Vir Das is playing the lead role in the film which also marks his directorial debut. But did you know, behind the actor’s quirky and ecstatic personality, lies a simple and earthy side. Recently, the ‘Happy Patel’ actor welcomed filmmaker Farah Khan and her home cook Dilip into his Mumbai home. The house gives off a completely different vibe from how we know Vir Das’ on-screen image.
Inside Vir Das’ no decor abode
Farah Khan dropped a video on her Youtube channel that offered a glimpse into Vir’s boho-chic home. Speaking about his minimally adorned space, the Happy Patel actor joked, “No decor. This house is a collection of things we love. Nothing matches.”In the video, the residence looks relaxed and something far from glossy space. The interiors of the house have earthy tones that give a sense of comfort, and for contrast, the ivory walls and wooden furniture offer just the right amount. The space also has a warm lighting setup that makes up a calm and cosy atmosphere.
The home reflects Vir’s love for art, nature and expression
The walls in Vir’s residence are dominated by illustration and art pieces that simply define his love for art, travel, and storytelling. The minimal decor suggests a sense of personal expression. Another noticeable feature is the ceiling-to-floor white curtains, decorated with vibrant leafy green prints, delivering a subtle touch of nature.Also the glass windows let enough sunlight enter the house and lit up every noon and cranny.
The spaces in Vir Das’s house flow seamlessly
The home has an open-layout concept. The kitchen and dining do not feel like separate spaces, and rather look like parts of a single layout. The actor also welcomed Farah Khan and Dilip to his backyard, that’s more of an adobe to greenery. The backyard consists of a number of potted plants. The actor explained that the lush space is meant for parties and other occasions where everyone can unwind and have a good time.
What everyone loved about the house
After Farah Khan’s video, fans appreciated the warm and inviting feeling of Vir Das’s house. Vir Das even shared one of the comments on X that wrote: “Finally a house that actually looks lived in, not like a magazine show house. They seem so humble and down to earth.” Expressing his happiness, the actor wrote, “ Shivani (his wife) and I are quite shy, and we don’t live particularly fancy.”
