Inside Jisshu Sengupta’s Four-Storey Lake Gardens Home
Actor Jisshu Sengupta showed viewers around his four-storey home in Kolkata.
He moved there in 2012, and his wife, Nilaanjana, designed most of it.
The house has a bar, a gym and a room on the terrace where Sengupta works and relaxes.
He also has a special corner for filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh, who was an important mentor to the couple.
Many things in that corner were gifts from Ghosh.
The home also has a terrace where Sengupta can enjoy tea or coffee among plants and flowers.
Jisshu Sengupta moved into his current four-storey bungalow in Kolkata’s Lake Gardens in 2012.
He said his wife, Nilaanjana, designed 98.98 per cent of the home, with wooden elements, greenery, muted colours and stained glass.
The home includes a bar, a private gym, a terrace den and a corner dedicated to filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh.
Sengupta said the Rituparno Ghosh corner contains gifts from his late mentor, who became a guardian to him and Nilaanjana after his mother died in 2008.
The terrace den is where Sengupta reads scripts, holds meetings and spends much of his day; friends and colleagues are welcome there.

Quotes
Jisshu Sengupta
Bengali actor and owner of the Lake Gardens home
“Everything you can see here, from the chairs to the paintings to the knick-knacks on the table, all of them have been gifted by Ritu da. I lost my mother in 2008, and since then Ritu da has been a guardian to Nilaanjana and me. But what pains me the most is that he could not see this house before passing away. This is his corner, technically.”

“This is a place where I actually chill. I spend most of the day in this room. From reading scripts to taking meetings, I do all my work here. Especially when I’m alone, no one disturbs me — which is the best part of this room.”
