Bollywood icon Sridevi, a luminary who enchanted audiences with her unparalleled talent and charisma, was born on August 13, 1963. She's known for her iconic roles in Hindi movies like 'Chandni', 'Lamhe', 'Mr. India', 'Chaalbaaz', 'Nagina', 'Sadma' and 'English Vinglish', among many more. The Padma Shri awardee also made a mark with her extraordinary performances in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada films.

Sridevi breathed her last on February 24, 2018, in Dubai, where she had gone to attend a family function. Her last film was 'Mom', for which she also received the Best Actress National Award, posthumously.

On her birth anniversary, we step inside her estate in Chennai which was listed under the "Icons" category by Airbnb this year. Her daughter and actress Janhvi Kapoor opened the doors to the family home for a one-of-a-kind experience.

A beachside paradise
Nestled on four acres of serene beachfront, this coastal abode is a sanctuary of tranquility and warmth. The home has been the stage for many childhood summers spent with her dear family. Guests will have the privilege of immersing themselves in the rich tapestry of the Kapoor family legacy and be able to unwind like their favorite Bollywood star during their stay. Janhvi will personally greet the guests and escort them on an exclusive tour of her home.

From the hand-crafted marble lotus sculpture gracing the entrance of the home and ushering in positive energy and good luck to the expansive interior spaces styled in bamboo, rattan, and marble, the entire home is designed for ultimate relaxation. Within the heart of the home lies the minimalist living room, the dining area rich with cherished family memories, Janhvi's dressing room where she develops her natural skincare treatments, and the airy master bedroom. Towards the back of the house lies a vast garden dotted with palm trees and fountains, with an expansive swimming pool and shaded gazebo offering an idyllic spot to relax and enjoy an alfresco sunset.
