Gauri Khan has said that the house is meant to be “glamorous, fun, and also a little over the top”
Karan Johar and Gauri Khan's friendship is one that has stood the test of time. The BFFs have collaborated professionally several times over the years. Most recently, Gauri Khan – who is one of the most sought-after interior designers on the wishlist of several Bollywood celebrities – designed the filmmaker's home. On completing the renovation of Karan Johar's residence in Bandra's Pali Hill, the two also gave a tour of the lovely home to the magazine Architectural Digest India. Speaking to the magazine, Gauri Khan shared her design ethos for the project. She said that the home has been designed to reflect Karan Johar's personality.
A portion of the interview – which has been reshared by Karan Johar on Instagram – has been attached to several images of the home. The caption of the post quotes Gauri Khan as saying, “This home is bespoke; it's one of a kind. It is designed to reflect who Karan is: glamorous, fun, and also a little over the top. It's not a space that can be imitated.”
Describing the house, the caption by Architectural Digest India says: “Knowing Karan's largesse and his love for entertaining, Gauri wanted the home to serve as a seamless extension of his personality, where guests could make themselves comfortable from the get-go. The main entryway wall is clad in a dramatic, fluted, black-and-white “panda” marble that lines the passageway into a light-filled living room, the tall, arched French windows open onto a serene terrace—Karan's favourite spot—dotted with tropical plants, where he can enjoy his coffee.”
Describing the duo's favourite spot, the caption continues: “Both Karan and Gauri also admit to an affinity for the powder room—during the day, the sunlight filters in, reflecting off the glossy surfaces—which Khan accented with a statement turbine light, a vanity with marble horse-head detail, and a forest-green wall.”
