Janhvi Kapoor’s childhood residence in Chennai, the first home purchased by her late mother, the iconic actor Sridevi, is now available for rental through Airbnb. The mansion has been included in Airbnb’s ‘Icons’ list, comprising 11 distinguished properties worldwide, offering guests an exclusive opportunity to experience a stay there. Janhvi will personally welcome select Airbnb users for a one-night stay, featuring discussions on her favourite beauty tips and the chance to savour authentic South Indian cuisine.
Airbnb CEO and co-founder Brian Chesky described this as an extraordinary chance for an intimate encounter with Bollywood’s most renowned family.
Among other notable properties on the ‘Icons’ list are the real-life house from Disney Pixar’s Up, the X-Men mansion, Kevin Hart’s Coramino Live Lounge, and Prince’s Purple Rain house.
Sridevi originally purchased the Chennai mansion after her marriage to producer Boney Kapoor, embellishing it with artifacts and artwork from across the globe.
Following Sridevi’s passing in 2018, Boney initiated renovations, and Janhvi provided a glimpse of the renovated home during a Vogue India feature in 2022. The mansion features Boney’s office, a luxurious living area, cherished family memorabilia, and a creatively designed bathroom.
