‘I have 200 pairs’: Take a tour of Nushrratt Bharuccha’s viral shoe wall and the secret to her minimalist sanctuary in Mumbai

Recently, during her visit to Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety actor Nushrratt Bharuccha’s Mumbai residence, director Farah Khan offered viewers an unfiltered peek into a space that feels personal, yet practical, with a hint of luxury.

A balcony with a view and a gym
One of the first highlights is the expansive balcony.

As Farah looks out and exclaims, “Look at the sunset,” the camera captures a sweeping view of the city skyline.

The outdoor space doubles up as a workout zone .

“This is my gym section.

Outdoor,” Nushrratt explains, pointing to the equipment neatly arranged against the backdrop of the open sky.

Farah, impressed, adds, “There is an outdoor gym as well.

Not to miss.”
The balcony isn’t just for burpees and battle ropes.

There’s also a cosy seating corner.

“Yes, when I get tired, I am chilling here.

And there is AC, so I don’t have to die,” Nushrratt jokes.

Equally important are spaces meant purely for unwinding, she notes, whether it’s a corner for reading, fitness, or simply doing nothing.

These areas signal safety and relaxation to the nervous system, allowing the body to step out of the constant performance mindset.

Over time, this separation can reduce burnout and emotional fatigue.

Stepping into the main living area, Farah says, “I am loving the vibe of this house.”
The interiors lean towards understated luxury featuring neutral palettes, uncluttered surfaces and thoughtfully chosen accents.

There’s a sense of symmetry and order, suggesting someone who enjoys visual calm.

The layout flows easily from living to dining, making it perfect for intimate gatherings, or, as seen in the episode, spontaneous momo tastings and Bohra-style mutton feasts.

If there’s one room that truly steals the spotlight, it’s Nushrratt’s walk-in wardrobe, specifically, her shoe wall.

“I am a perfume freak,” she says, opening the doors to a space that resembles a luxury boutique.

Shelves are stacked with meticulously arranged heels, sandals and boots, all organised with near-military precision.

About a year and a half ago, a photo of her shoe collection went viral.

“I had 187 shoes,” she reveals.

“And now it’s 200 plus at least now, guys.

Because I love shoes.”
Farah, visibly stunned, asks, “So you bought a special house for shoes?” Nushrratt laughs it off but admits, “Because I love shoes.

I wear all of them.”
Towering stilettos, some going up to six-and-a-half or even seven inches, dominate the collection.

“I rehearse in high heels.

I need to be really confident,” she says, explaining how she’s mastered the art of running and even dancing in sky-high footwear.

On such collections hold emotional value for individuals, psychotherapist Khangarot mentions that they often carry emotional meaning because “they reflect choice, taste, and parts of a person’s identity that feel uniquely theirs.” Whether it’s shoes, perfumes, books, or any other item, collections are rarely just about the objects themselves; they often hold memories, moods, and moments attached to different phases of life.

Psychologically, these items can become extensions of self-expression.

They allow individuals to communicate who they are, what they enjoy, and how they see themselves, even in private spaces.

“Collections can also contribute to a sense of control and comfort.

Over time, these items may reflect growth, evolving confidence, and personal style.

In that way, they quietly mirror aspects of identity — what someone values, what makes them feel good about themselves, and how they choose to present themselves to the world,” states Khangarot.

A kitchen rooted in Bohra tradition
“This is a dish made by mom and mom’s sister, which is my favourite dish,” she says.

There’s also a gluten-free twist to Nihari, made with cassava flour instead of the usual wheat, a telling detail about how the family adapts tradition to modern dietary needs.

There are no overwhelming chandeliers or gold-plated statements.

The luxury here lies in personal touches, a perfectly aligned shoe rack, a balcony breeze, and a mother’s recipe simmering on the stove.
