The sisters’ stunning three-storey penthouse on the 29th floor of a Mumbai high-rise is a heartfelt gift to their parents, who missed their open Delhi-style home.
Singer Neeti Mohan and dancers Shakti Mohan and Mukti Mohan recently offered a glimpse into their breathtaking three-storey penthouse in Mumbai — a home filled with nearly 400 plants. Interestingly, the sisters themselves do not currently live in the sprawling apartment; it is occupied entirely by their parents.
Growing up, the Mohan sisters often heard relatives describe daughters as “liabilities”. Determined to challenge that mindset, they decided to do something extraordinary for their parents so they would never feel the absence of having a son. The luxurious penthouse, worth several crores, is their gift to their parents, who deeply missed the openness of their Delhi-style home while adjusting to Mumbai’s apartment culture.
The family recently gave a tour of their 29th-floor penthouse in Kandivali’s Thakur Village during a conversation with Curly Tales. During the visit, they enjoyed a spread of homemade dishes, including Rajasthan’s gatte ki sabzi, Gujarat’s dhokla, and dahi bhalla. Reflecting on the home, the sisters — who had gathered there after their marriages, with Shakti also having moved out — shared that the apartment has been part of their lives for nearly a decade.
Explaining the house’s lively design, the sisters said, “We are from Delhi, and there it’s very normal to have spaces to watch the sunrise, sunset and a terrace. Our parents really missed that Delhi feeling here in Mumbai.” The penthouse features a spacious living room, a large dining area and a terrace decorated with colourful elements reminiscent of traditional Delhi homes.
One of the most striking features of the house is its greenery. Nearly every corner is filled with plants. The sisters joked, “Our parents have four daughters, so they have 400 plants in this house. In every corner, you will find a plant.”

Recalling how they first discovered the property, Neeti said, “We had gone over for dinner at our neighbour’s house. When we sat on their terrace, we realised it had a 360-degree view. We could even see the stars.”
Shakti added that buying the house was largely her elder sister’s idea. “Didi felt that we should keep our parents extremely pampered. Growing up, people often made them feel bad for having four daughters, calling us liabilities. So we wanted to give them a huge home where they would never feel like they were living in a cramped apartment. Even though our work is mostly in Bandra, a three-storey apartment like this was available only here.”
Shakti, who has chosen to remain single, also spoke about the pressure she faced from relatives during her younger sister Mukti’s wedding. “I feel freedom and bliss being alone and independent. Every man I was with was very annoying,” she said with a laugh. “But at Mukti’s wedding, everyone kept holding my chin and saying sympathetically, ‘Tumhari bhi shaadi ho jayegi (You will also get married).’”
While the sisters now live with their husbands in different homes, Shakti too eventually moved out from her parents’ house to explore her independence and individuality. According to property portal 99acres, real-estate prices in Thakur Village start at around ₹3 crore, while a 5 BHK apartment can go up to approximately ₹14.8 crore.
