Airbnb has been on the forefront of innovation when it comes to expanding its list of offerings. They've embarked on collaborations with celebrities to list their homes on the platform, making unique stays accessible to travelers. In a notable instance from 2021, Mandira Bedi, a renowned actor and former cricket commentator, welcomed guests into her Madh Island residence. Prior to this, the luxurious property of Bollywood power couple Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan in Panchsheel Park, South Delhi, was also listed on Airbnb. Taking this concept a step further, Brian Chesky, the co-founder and CEO of Airbnb, has introduced an exclusive new category dubbed Airbnb Icons. This initiative focuses on providing extraordinary experiences, hosted by some of the most illustrious personalities in music, cinema, television, art, and sports. Icons has listed over 11 celebrity properties from around the world that you can book a stay in. One of these houses is the family home of actress Janhvi Kapoor, located in Chennai.
This stunning house was purchased by Kapoor's late mother, the Bollywood legend Sridevi, and it's now available to book on Airbnb under the Icons category. Airbnb has shared a series of stunning pictures of the lavish residence, inviting guests to "Live like Bollywood star Janhvi Kapoor." The property sits on a sprawling four acres of land, providing guests with a truly exclusive and private experience. You'll have access to one bedroom and one bathroom, and the interiors are tastefully decorated with elegant furnishings and vibrant colors.
According to Airbnb, Janhvi Kapoor personally welcomes guests to her family home, ensuring that you'll feel right at home during your stay. The booking for this unique property will open on May 12, and with only two guests allowed at a time, it's sure to fill up quickly. So, if you want to experience the glamorous lifestyle of a Bollywood star, make sure to book your stay at Janhvi Kapoor's family home on Airbnb.
If you're keen on this unique experience, you'll need to engage with the Airbnb process and submit your application. Once chosen by Janhvi Kapoor, guests will have the opportunity to delve into the rich flavours of authentic South Indian cuisine. But the culinary journey doesn't end there; they'll also explore Janhvi's personal favourite local treats, including the savoury ghee podi rice and the sweet delight of palkova. Moreover, the stay promises intimate conversations with Janhvi about beauty secrets that have been a legacy in her family, passed down from her superstar mother.
You can also get a private tour of the place from Kapoor. “I'll take you on a private tour of our coastal home as I reminisce on summers spent with my family,” she said on Airbnb. ”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.”
Sharing her sentiments about her Chennai abode, Janhvi Kapoor expressed to Airbnb, "My most treasured childhood memories are of the sunny summers spent with my family in our serene coastal home in Chennai, India. This place has always been a haven for me, and I'm thrilled to offer the same sense of tranquility and warmth to my fans. For the first time, I am opening our doors to a select few, inviting them to experience the full Kapoor family lifestyle. Expect lots of downtime filled with South Indian culinary delights, soothing yoga sessions, and a taste of my mother's homemade natural skincare remedies. I'm eager to share these personal joys with you.”
