May 2, 2024: Bollywood actor Janhvi Kapoor’s childhood home in Chennai is now open to the public. Holiday rental company Airbnb has included a new category called Icons, under which properties of 11 celebrities across the globe have been listed for rent. The company has added to the list the mansion previously owned by Janhvi’s late mother, actress Sridevi.
The property was bought by Sridevi before she married producer Boney Kapoor. The mansion had been closed due to leakage and maintenance issues. After the actor’s demise in 2018, Boney Kapoor undertook its renovation.
Airbnb has shared a series of pictures of the plush residence on its official site under the header ‘Live like Bollywood star Janhvi Kapoor.’ As per reports, Janhvi will be welcoming two guests, who will get access to one bedroom and bathroom. It will be open for booking on May 12, 2024. The house will be available for ‘select’ Airbnb guests and that stay will also include ‘chats with Kapoor about her favourite beauty hacks to tasting fresh, authentic South Indian foods.’, reports mentioned. In 2022, Janhvi Kapoor shared a glimpse of her Chennai home with Vogue India. The property is spread across four acres of land.
“My most cherished childhood memories are of spending summers with my family at our coastal oasis in Chennai, India. This home has always felt like a sanctuary, and I want to share that same feeling with my fans. Which is why for the first time ever, I’m opening our home up to a few guests to have the full Kapoor family experience. That means a lot of relaxing—eating South Indian food, doing yoga, and trying my mother’s natural skin care recipes. I can’t wait to share it all with you.”, Janhvi Kapoor told Airbnb as cited in media reports. The actress said that she would be giving a private tour of her house to the selected guests. “I’ll take you on a private tour of our coastal home as I reminisce on summers spent with my family. We’ll enjoy some much-deserved relaxation as I show you my all-natural skincare routine that I learned from my mum (hello homemade honey face mask and oils made from hibiscus flower). Who knows, I might just spill my top Bollywood beauty secrets.”
“You’ll enjoy a wonderful dinner of some of my favourite South Indian dishes like Ghee Podi Rice, Andhra Biryani, Pesarattu Dosa, and Palkova. My mouth is watering thinking about it. Enjoy a morning yoga session followed by a healthy breakfast (I like to start my day with lassi) and take in ocean views from the deck.”, she said.
