“Being at home with my loved ones is the most peaceful experience for me. My family shifted to Mumbai six years ago. Today, I proudly say I am a pucca Mumbaikar. I love this city with all my heart and soul. You won’t believe it; my parents had to force me to come to Mumbai but now the city has become my lifeline.
“Surprisingly, the day I decided to move into my new flat alone, my parents were the most supportive. They were proud I was buying a house. I think that was five years ago. My only precondition was my flat had to be next door to my parents’. I had to buy it at Lokhandwala. It was an investment because I wanted to put my money into something concrete.
“I once had a harrowing time with my architect over the interiors. I did not want to go through a similar experience, so I waited till I found an interior decorator I could entrust my flat with. Thankfully, I met Twinkle Khanna who gave a meaningful definition to my house. My home today is a mirror to my soul.
“The flat was done up in just 20 days. The guys who worked under Twinkle were so perfect and professional that I didn’t have any reason to complain.
“When one enters my flat, one finds everything in white and pastel. The entire interior has a soothing feel. My flat is a combination of luxury and comfort. I revel in luxury but I would never buy an expensive crystal vase and showcase it in my home because it would make me uncomfortable even to walk around. “My home is exotic. I love every corner of it and keep it spotlessly clean. I am a cleanliness freak. I want everything to be in place. Everybody feels the house has been done up just a few days back as it is so clean.
“I like the style to be Indo-Western. I cannot stand dramatic decorations. My interiors are mellow because I am a mellow person. My dream is to own a terrace flat.
“I love, in big capital letters: MY HOME.”
