Inside RJ Naved’s Colonial-Style House Right In The Middle Of A Village In UP

Known for his viral prank videos and effortless humour, RJ Naved has become one of India’s most recognisable digital creators. But away from the internet, there’s a version of him that very few people get to see; a boy who grew up in the lanes of his village, climbed fruit trees, splashed around a tube well, and still lights up while talking about those memories. Luckily, we got more than a glimpse of it in our latest Tere Gully Mein episode. 

RJ Naved Shares Childhood Stories From His Village Days

The surprise began before we had even entered the house. Right in the middle of the village stood a striking white kothi that looked completely out of place, in the best way possible. Walking in, we instinctively expected a traditional kaccha house. Instead, what stood before us was a sprawling pakka kothi with old-style colonial architecture, broad verandahs, clean white walls and a subtle elegance that you’d normally associate with old family homes in cities. It had an almost dreamlike stillness to it! 

RJ Naved smiled at our reaction because he’d seen it before.

He explained that this wasn’t how the village always looked. Back then, almost every home around them was kaccha. As the years passed and development reached the area, his family rebuilt the house into the beautiful home it is today. 

His real home lies outside its walls. Pointing towards the road, the orchards behind the house, and the tube well tucked between the greenery, Naved told us that he had spent almost his entire childhood here until Class 9. “Main yahin pada rehta tha,” he laughed, describing how every inch of this place carries a memory.

The road outside wasn’t just a road; it was his playground. The baghs weren’t simply orchards; they were where endless afternoons disappeared without anyone keeping track of time. And once we stepped into the orchards, it was easy to understand why!

Mango Orchards, Apple Trees, Litchis & Well Full Of Memories

The very first thing that caught our eye was an apple tree. We couldn’t help but ask the obvious question: apples, here? Aren’t they supposed to grow in Kashmir? RJ Naved grinned and proudly replied that they grow here, too.

A little further ahead were lemon trees loaded with fruit, clusters of litchis, and mango trees stretching across the property. He told us that nearly twelve varieties of mangoes are grown here, something the family takes immense pride in since this belt of Uttar Pradesh has long been known for its mango orchards.

The greenery seemed to go on forever. Then came another nostalgic stop, the old hand pump. RJ Naved didn’t just point at it; he showed us exactly how it works, bringing back a piece of rural life that many people today have only seen in films. 

And then, almost unexpectedly, there was a swimming pool sitting quietly in the middle of it all. That contrast summed up the property perfectly. It has the comfort and scale of a lavish home, yet nothing about it feels intimidating.

The orchards, the hand pump, the tube well, the open land, the childhood stories and the constant feeling that every corner has been lived in give the place a warmth money simply can’t buy.
