Saiyaara actor Ahaan Panday has been on cloud nine, as his debut film is having a great run at the box office. In just three days, the film has earned over Rs 80 crore, with trade analysts predicting a box office run of Rs 200 crore. One of the biggest debuts in recent times, Ahaan Panday is now the next actor from the current generation of the Panday family to enter the movies. And what a run right from the first film! Today we look at Ahaan Panday’s home vs his cousin Ananya Panday’s home and find out which is more expensive.
Ahaan Panday’s home vs Ananya Panday’s home
The Saiyaara actor lives with father Chikki Panday and mother Deanne Panday in a palatial house in Mumbai. Ahaan’s sister Alanna, who runs her own YouTube channel, had earlier given a tour of their Mumbai home.
Spanning across four floors, Chikki Panday’s residence has hosted many functions before, including the grand wedding of Alanna Panday. Ahaan Panday’s house also made a brief appearance on Amazon Prime Video’s lifestyle series The Tribe, taking audiences and fans inside the home to give a glimpse of the modern yet inviting interiors.
On her Youtube channel, Alanna began her home tour by sharing a piece of family history. She revealed that at one point, the entire Panday family, including actor Chunky Panday’s family, lived together under the same roof. Now settled in Los Angeles with her husband Ivor McCray, Alanna confesses she no longer has fingerprint access to the house. Laughing, Ivor interjects in the video, “But my fingerprint works, so I got it; don’t worry.”
The home’s interiors are relaxed with a bohemian aesthetic, with each floor thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and warmth. One entire floor is dedicated to cosy double lounge areas, featuring plush cushions, bright decor accents, and lush indoor plants that breathe life into the space. The homely ambience makes it a perfect retreat for the family. Adjacent to the lounges are a formal dining area and a bar setup, although the bar is typically reserved for social events and festive occasions.
Ahaan Panday’s favourite is the entertainment room, especially when his circle of friends come over. This part of the house serves as a hub for friendly get-togethers and game nights, with the family often playing board games together, like Monopoly and Knowledge is Power. Ahaan has also added his personal touch to the space by keeping his electric guitar there.
The kitchen is taken care of by Ahaan’s mother, Deanne, which makes this space another highlight of the home. The kitchen features a collection of elegant bone china tableware and an impressive assortment of 25 uniquely designed cups, each carefully selected to match a specific mood or occasion.
The house also has a front lawn that holds sentimental value for the family, having been the venue for intimate celebrations such as Alanna’s haldi and mehendi ceremonies and even Ahaan’s 21st birthday bash. One wall in the house is adorned with a curated selection of decorative plates. Each piece has been chosen by Deanne not only for its artistic appeal but also because the purchase of every plate contributes to charitable initiatives that provide meals to underserved communities.

While the exact price of the house is not known, debutante Ahaan Panday is said to have a net worth of Rs 2 crore already, even before his first film Saiyaara released.
Ananya Panday’s home designed by Gauri Khan
Ahaan’s cousin Ananya Panday has had a significantly longer journey though. After living with her parents since childhood, Ananya moved out of her parents’ home last year into her own apartment, in the very same building. Her one-bedroom home is a reflection of her personality– it’s calm, charming, and thoughtfully curated.
Designed with a soft Scandinavian influence, her apartment is all about warm pastel shades, minimalist aesthetics, and cosy elements that make the space feel peaceful yet full of life.
“For me, home is about belonging—it’s where I feel most like myself,” Ananya shared while giving fans a tour of her house. “But no matter what, home always means family.”
The apartment opens to a charming balcony that offers a stunning view of the city’s greenery outside. Inside the house, there are muted pinks and sage greens, with a tranquil reading corner, a playful zone reserved for her pet dog Riot, and a living area furnished and designed for casual gatherings. The house is full of indoor plants that breathe life into the space. The personalised wallpaper, scribbled quotes on the walls, and soft ambient lighting add a distinct character to the home.
One of the standout features of Ananya’s apartment is her walk-in closet, tucked behind a pastel pink door. With soft lighting and an oversized mirror, the closet is a sanctuary in itself. “It’s got a secret door and everything, it’s every little girl’s dream,” she quipped, mentioning that it’s the only part of the apartment that reflects her professional life.
The kitchen is compact but functional, with baby blue cabinets and white countertops. During the tour, Ananya revealed her newfound passion. “I’ve recently discovered that I love baking. Cookies, cakes—having something warm to eat is my comfort, she mentioned.

It’s no surprise that Gauri Khan was chosen to design the interiors. She is the go-to name when it comes to decorating luxury spaces for top Bollywood celebrities like Karan Johar, Ranbir Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sidharth Malhotra, among many others. However, for Ananya, getting her first independent home designed by Gauri was also an emotional decision. Her parents, Chunky and Bhavana Panday, share a longtime friendship with Gauri and Shah Rukh Khan, and she is childhood best friends with Suhana Khan.
Ananya Panday’s one-bedroom apartment in Bandra is estimated to be worth around Rs 10 crore, according to reports from ET Now. Ananya Panday’s net worth stands at a whopping Rs 74 crore.
