A home should hold your story, not a public image. Designing for public figures is about stripping away the noise to create a private sanctuary that feels deeply, quietly yours.

Alia Bhatt's home was about creating a space that was simple, warm, and deeply personal. The tea bar became the heart of her home, a cozy corner for her to unwind. It was never about grandeur, but about shaping a sense of comfort and belonging.

Designing for Aditi Rao Hydari was like capturing her essence on a canvas. Here she is, relaxing in her living room, a space filled with vibrant color and pattern that feels both elegant and effortlessly graceful.

Parineeti Chopra wanted her home to feel like a hug after a long day. We kept the design minimal yet layered, with clean lines, monochrome tones, and cozy textures. The bar area, with its view of the city, is a perfect example of this balanced, calm aesthetic.

When I designed Dia Mirza's home, it was about creating a space that could hold all the art and furniture she had collected over the years. This corner, with its rustic wooden console and beautiful flowers, perfectly reflects her warmth, grace, and quiet strength.

This home for Kangana Ranaut was one of my earliest projects, where I discovered my own design language. Lounging on a classic Chesterfield sofa, the space around her is filled with eclectic art and vintage touches, reflecting a home that is as bold and timeless as she is.

An old-world carved console stands in Aditi Rao Hydari's home, topped with beautiful paintings of Indian goddesses. This little vignette is a perfect blend of her spiritual side and her love for traditional Indian art and craftsmanship.

In this shot from her home feature, Kangana Ranaut stands in her dining area. The space is eclectic and personal, with a bright yellow table, mismatched chairs, and a wall of vintage posters, creating a home with a strong, artistic point of view.

About Celebrity Homes

When I design for public figures, the process is not about grandeur or status. It is about listening to the quiet needs of someone who lives their life under a spotlight. For instance, creating Alia Bhatt’s tea bar was not about a design statement. It was about carving out a small, warm corner for her to simply unwind and be herself.
