Janhvi’s video reveals the stunning property which she frequented as a child. The home in question is a significant part of her familial heritage, originally purchased by her late mother, legendary actress Sridevi. A couple of years back, Janhvi offered fans an elaborate walkthrough of this gorgeous home. Its architectural beauty and serene vibe were well received by fans, who can now experience it themselves as Airbnb has selected the mansion as one of the 11 illustrious Icons properties available for rental.
Reflecting on her past vacations and the cherished moments they encompass, Janhvi unveiled additional personal anecdotes at a recent Airbnb event. She recounted a family trip to the Amalfi Coast in Italy, a vacation her mother had intended as a period of relaxation. However, it evolved into an adventure filled with joy and laughter. She reminisced about a particular journey where her entire family, along with their cook and her father’s best friend, Ramu, packed into a van; the latter two deemed an essential part of the troupe for their roles in ensuring the family had a supply of mangoes and spicy Indian chillies—favorites of her father, producer Boney Kapoor.
Janhvi captured this heartwarming image with a touch of humor, “It was us, this big Indian family, and we had this van that could accommodate all of us. ‘Us’ also includes our cook and Ramu, who technically is my Dad’s boy but I think that he is my Dad’s best friend and we had to travel with them because he doesn’t go anywhere without mangoes and chillies from India. Because chillies outside India aren’t that spicy apparently.”
Her home and the stories attached narrate a saga of familial love and legacy, entwined with the charm of Bollywood royalty. It’s not just a property, but a beacon of the Kapoor family’s traditions and way of life. With Airbnb’s collaboration, Janhvi’s personal abode transforms into a retreat that fans can now physically immerse themselves in, transcending its status from an iconic celebrity home to a destination where others too can create their own memories.
As the anticipation builds for the moment when bookings open, admirers of Janhvi Kapoor’s work and lifestyle have a unique experience to look forward to—an opportunity to live amidst the luxury and intimacy of a Bollywood star’s familial space. Starting this May, Janhvi Kapoor’s exquisite Chennai vacation home becomes more than just a point of curiosity—it becomes an escape that’s only a reservation away.
