Actress
Janhvi Kapoor
recently opened the doors to her family's cherished Chennai home, a property that has an emotional value for the Kapoor family. The home, which was the first property ever purchased by the legendary actress
Sridevi
, has now become a sanctuary where her memory lives on in every corner, lovingly preserved by husband
Boney Kapoor
and daughters Janhvi and Khushi.
The 'Devara' actress gave a tour to Vogue, and she walked viewers through the elegant yet nostalgic spaces of the home. She enters the house through a side door to start the tour, and she walks straight into a large living room. The home's vintage charm is evident as soon as one enters. Large paintings, antique artefacts, and elaborate chandeliers adorn the room. The spacious living room has oversized sofas, making it a perfect spot for the family to gather.
The walls are dotted with paintings created by Sridevi herself, making the space not just a home but a gallery of her spirit and creativity. There's also a painting by Subhash Awchat and a cherished artifact brought from Bali.
The second living room carries the same elegant tone with white and gold detailing. Here, Janhvi offers a glimpse into her father's personal space, filled with "10,000 photos of us."
Janhvi reveals that the house had to undergo a major remodel after her mother's passing due to leakage and disrepair and her fahter made it like his mission to redo it in her mother's memory so that they could spend time in the house.

She spoke about the house, "It was the first property that mom ever bought. It was very different when she bought it. She decided to do it up after she got married to dad and travelled all over the world and found these interesting art pieces, paintings, and textiles, and it.
"
Janhvi shared how Boney Kapoor kept the renovated home a surprise and unveiled it on Khushi Kapoor's birthday. "It was a big moment because we grew up here, and we hadn't been here since mom had passed," she said.
Janhvi further went upstairs and shared a memories wall designed by Sridevi, filled with family photographs. One rare photo was an image from Sridevi and Boney Kapoor's secret wedding in Shirdi. This photo was kept secret until Sridevi became pregnant with Janhvi.
The 'Peddi' actress later showed her spacious gym, which she calls her "sanctuary." It also has a beautifully designed bathroom with a glass ceiling, stone sinks, and soft light from vintage lamps and paintings. The space opens up to a green terrace, a peaceful escape from the city's chaos, filled with lush plants and offering a view that soothes the heart and soul.

Late fashion icon Lagerfeld's villa sold for 4.7 mn euros
A villa outside Paris once owned by late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld sold at auction on June 1 for 4.7 million euros, under a traditional method where time is counted by candles. (FILES) This photograph shows the exterior of a house that belonged to the late German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, in Louveciennes, near Paris. (Photo by Kiran RIDLEY / AFP)(AFP) Bought in 2010 by Lagerfeld, who died in 2019, the villa in Louveciennes west of Paris fetched just above the asking price of 4.6 million euros ($5.4 million). Abandoned after his death, the house was purchased in 2023 by a real estate company. Held in a style the late designer himself may have approved of, the sale took place according to the traditional notary auction method, as a so-called "candle auction". In a candle auction, which is still commonplace in France, the sale time is defined by the burning of two small candles, each lasting about fifteen seconds. The villa is in a two-hectare (five acre) park with three separate houses, a swimming pool and a tennis court. The house is surrounded by trees or walls ensuring "discretion and anonymity", said Jerome Cauro, of Arias, the firm handling the sale. The designer's studio occupied a large part of the first floor of the main house. "He put everything into this last house; he really loved it. He called it 'the true version of himself'," his muse and associate, Amanda Harlech, told Vogue in 2021. The former Chanel creative director even had his childhood bedroom recreated in a small room with leopard-print walls. According to Arias, the fashion legend carried out "colossal works" on the property, which belonged to the 19th century poet Leconte de Lisle and members of the Rothschild family in the first half of the 19th century. "We don't have the bill, but we estimate that the cost of the work is close to the asking price," said Arno Felber, also a notary at Arias. Legend has it that Lagerfeld only slept there one night The mansion was above all "a property for peace, rest and study", where Lagerfeld liked to entertain guests, said Felber. In March 2024, Lagerfeld's futuristic three-room Paris apartment was sold for 10 million euros by firm Althemis, twice its asking price.

Ajith Kumar's 'AK64' likely to be announced in August 2025
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Ajith Kumar fans may soon have reason to celebrate. According to a recent report by industry tracker Ramesh Bala, the official announcement for Ajith's next film, tentatively titled 'AK64', is expected to arrive in August 2025. After his last outing in 'Good Bad Ugly' earlier this year, anticipation around Ajith's next move has been steadily building. 'AK64' likely to begin post-racing season If reports are accurate, 'AK64' will be bankrolled by Romeo Pictures, the same production house that backed Ajith's earlier films like Viswasam and Vivegam. Though nothing is officially confirmed yet, the buzz suggests that director Adhik Ravichandran , who previously worked with Ajith on 'Good Bad Ugly', might be reuniting with the actor once again. Ajith's romantic pictures with his wife Shalini go viral Ajith had earlier made it clear that he would take up film projects only during the off-season of his racing career. Mohanlal-Ajith combo on the cards? Meanwhile, there are reports that the Malayalam superstar Mohanlal might join AK64 in a pivotal role. Reportedly, discussions are ongoing to bring the two iconic actors together for the first time. A collaboration between Mohanlal and Ajith Kumar would be nothing short of a treat for fans across South India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo On the other hand, Mohanlal was recently seen in the Pan-Indian film 'Kannappa' which also stars Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Vishnu Manchu and many others in pivotal roles. The film is getting only mixed reviews from the audiences all over. While Ajith Kumar made his massive comeback with the recently released 'Good Bad Ugly', which received 3 3-star rating from ETimes with our official review that reads, "And in Adhik, he seems to have found the right director to pull it off. Adhik's films so far have been largely polarising - you either like his style of filmmaking or hate it, with no in-between. But his is definitely a unique voice, especially in the realm of our mass masala films - overloud (but in a very different way compared to someone like Hari) and visually distinct (but poles apart from a Karthik Subbaraj). It is cinema of maximalism, often breaking the third wall, peppered with throwbacks, and with only one goal - to deliver a high every few minutes. More than mass masala, it's max masala!"
