This middle-class Indian Idol winner rose to fame and now lives in a minimalist Mumbai home with a beach view
Abhijeet Sawant opened the doors of his minimalist Mumbai home, which showcases Japanese art, a beach-view balcony, and a music room where he often breaks into impromptu performances.

Fans might not remember all the winners of the singing reality show Indian Idol, but it’s hard to forget the first-ever champion who lifted the trophy in 2004 — Abhijeet Sawant. Since then, he has remained active in the industry, releasing albums, doing playback singing, acting in films, and appearing on various reality shows. Recently, the singer opened the doors of his minimalist Mumbai home to Mashable India, offering a glimpse into how hard work and perseverance can turn dreams into reality in the maximum city.
Abhijeet’s minimalist living room with Japanese art
Right from the entry, Abhijeet’s home is a reflection of his journey in the industry. At the entrance sits a Ganesha idol that was gifted to him by Sony, who produced his first album. His nameplate at the entry of the house is the same one that was used in Marathi Bigg Boss, where he was a participant.

From the entry itself, the house looks spacious and is designed with a minimalist aesthetic — a conscious decision by Abhijeet. He shared that while he earlier had a bigger sofa, he replaced it with a smaller minimalist one to give more space to the house. He recalled his earlier days, when he lived in a small apartment with his family, and how that space used to feel cluttered. To avoid the same in his current home, he kept the interiors minimal. The singer also showed the Japanese art that is put at display in his living room. The actor also showed a separate section in the living room that displays all the awards and trophies he has won over the years.

Old dinning table and colourful kids’ room
Abhijeet’s house features an open floor plan where the living room and dining space are part of one big room. The dining area includes a small table with four chairs. The actor shared that this small space is the heart of his house, where everyone gathers for meals and conversation.

Abhijeet has two daughters, and their room is the most colourful part of the house. Adorned with multi-coloured, jungle-inspired wallpaper, the room gives off a vibrant vibe. His daughters also share a study table and a dressing area.

Balcony with a beach view and a music room
Abhijeet admitted that though the balcony of his house doesn’t offer a full ocean view, a part of the beach is visible from his home. This spot brings in the fresh ocean air, filling the entire house. The balcony is beautifully decorated with plants and features a swing where Abhijeet begins his mornings, sipping coffee and taking in the view.

Following the balcony, Abhijeet shared a glimpse of his music room, where a harmonium is always within reach — lying right on the sofa — and where he often breaks into impromptu performances. The room also has a corner for recording music. However, the singer admitted that while this is a small space, he also has a professional studio where he works.

The house tour concluded with Abhijeet proudly showing off the painting skills of his daughters, who painted the electric box and transformed it into what looks like an antique piece.
