Asian Paints Where The Heart Is – Manu Bhaker
Rooted in humble beginnings in Goria Village, Haryana, Manu Bhaker’s story is one of grit and gratitude-shaped by cherished memories of growing up with her mother and brother while her father worked at sea in the merchant navy. Her home beautifully reflects this journey, combining modern minimalism with traditional warmth. “I have come a long way, and I’ve realized that it’s not just the athlete who wins a medal for the country, but the entire family that makes sacrifices to make it possible. This house is my way of honoring their love and support,” Manu shares with heartfelt emotion.

Asian Paints Where The Heart Is – Manu Bhakers home
Transformed with the expertise of Asian Paints Beautiful Homes Service, Manu’s home radiates warmth and love. Designed as a tribute to her parents, the makeover seamlessly blends minimalism with personal touches, creating a truly special space. “When I think of home, it means comfort, belonging, and most importantly, my mom,” she adds with a smile.
The living room, a cozy yet elegant space, features the Gokul Pichwai wallpaper from the Asian Paints Sabyasachi for Nilaya range. The striking wallpaper adorns motifs of cows and trees, paying homage to her rural roots and her mother’s fondness for these symbols. Muted ivory tones complement the centrepiece, creating a calm and sophisticated vibe. “Mom absolutely loved this wallpaper. It’s the only bold element here, while everything else is subtle,” says Manu.
A corner of the home proudly displays Manu’s sporting achievements, including a selection from her vast collection of medals. “”These medals represent just 10% of what I’ve achieved, but they hold immense sentimental value,” she remarks. Thoughtfully, she has left room for more medals, symbolizing her ongoing journey as an athlete.
Manu’s bedroom is a sanctuary of pastel hues that reflect her personality and preferences. “I wanted the vibe of my room to flow seamlessly from the wallpaper, with colours that are soothing and close to my heart,” she says. Accented with green tones and a hand-painted doodle wall, the space mirrors her calm and focused approach to life. The doodle reflects her creative side serving as a unique focal point in the room. Manu shared, “This doodle wall makes the space feel truly mine. It’s playful, lively, and every time I look at it, it reminds me of the joy and creativity that I wanted in my home.”
For Manu, her home embodies strength and love, values she attributes to the women in her life. A striking line she holds dear says it all: “Strong women raise strong girls.” Her journey, much like her home, is a story of determination, resilience, and family.
Manu’s home is more than a space-it’s a sanctuary that reflects her personality, values, and journey. Designed with her family’s involvement, it embodies strength, creativity, and love. From the soothing pastels of her bedroom to the sophisticated living room design, every detail tells a story of shared memories and resilience. Her home stands as a heartfelt haven, inspiring others to infuse their spaces with personal touches and meaning.
