Inside PV Sindhu’s Bengaluru home: Mahabharata-inspired chessboard, personal gallery and private pool steal the show

One of the most striking features of the house is a monochrome gallery wall displaying framed photographs from Sindhu's life, including memorable moments from her badminton career and wedding. The photographs, complemented by traditional decorative objects and a wooden console, give the entrance a distinctly personal character.

The spacious living room is designed around large windows that allow abundant natural light to enter. Soft pastel shades, elegant furniture and plush green and turquoise-toned sofas create a warm and relaxed atmosphere. The interiors follow a contemporary aesthetic, with carefully selected decorative elements adding character without making the space appear crowded.

However, the centrepiece that particularly caught attention was an elaborate Mahabharata-inspired chessboard. Made with glass and marble, the distinctive chess set features representations of the Pandavas and Kauravas, along with intricate scenes from the Indian epic. The collectible, reportedly valued at around ₹1.75 lakh, brings together mythology, craftsmanship and an unusual interpretation of a traditional board game.

The dining area opens towards a private swimming pool and an outdoor garden, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The poolside area features comfortable seating surrounded by greenery, offering a quiet space for relaxation and entertaining guests.

The tour also offered a glimpse of the couple's modern modular kitchen, which has a clean, functional design. Sindhu's personal chef, Sampath, prepared General Tso's chicken during the visit, giving Farah Khan and Dilip an insight into the food arrangements at the home of a professional athlete, where nutrition and dietary discipline remain important.

Sindhu lives in Bengaluru with her husband, Venkata Datta Sai. The home tour offered more than a look at an elegant residence; it revealed a personal space that reflects her sporting journey, family memories and appreciation for Indian cultural traditions.
