Step into a slice of Sridevi’s heritage! Janhvi Kapoor unveils her late mother’s exquisite Chennai mansion, now accessible through Airbnb’s latest “Icons” initiative.
Fans of the iconic actress Sridevi and her daughter Janhvi Kapoor now have an extraordinary opportunity to immerse themselves in Bollywood history. Janhvi Kapoor recently announced that Sridevi’s magnificent Chennai mansion is now open for stays through Airbnb, fulfilling Sridevi’s longstanding dream of transforming the beachfront property into a welcoming retreat.
This luxurious mansion, acquired by Sridevi after her marriage to producer Boney Kapoor, holds immense sentimental value for the Kapoor family. Janhvi reminisced at the Airbnb 2024 launch, “I recall celebrating many of Mom’s birthdays there, as well as my own and Dad’s. Towards the end, we couldn’t spend as much time there because we had to renovate the house. Mom had big plans. She envisioned turning it into a hotel.”
After Sridevi’s passing in 2018, Boney Kapoor took charge of renovating the house. Janhvi shared that it was a significant moment when her father finally allowed himself to enjoy life again, especially during a memorable family gathering after the renovations. Now, through Airbnb’s new “Icons” category, fans have the chance to create their own memories in this legendary location. While some celebrity homes in the program are priced under $100 per night, Sridevi’s Chennai mansion is exclusively available for free stays.
Those interested in this unique opportunity must apply for a chance to win a “golden ticket.” Only a limited number of golden tickets (4,000 for all iconic listings this year) will be granted based on undisclosed criteria. Addressing potential security concerns, Janhvi expressed her trust in both her fans and Airbnb’s credibility. She emphasized the family’s long-held desire to share the property with others.
For fans who miss out on a stay at the mansion, they can still catch glimpses of Janhvi Kapoor’s life on screen. The actress is preparing for the release of her upcoming films, Mr. & Mrs. Mahi and Ulajh.
