About Janhvi's Chennai mansion
Janhvi's Chennai mansion was first bought by Sridevi after her marriage to producer Boney Kapoor. It was the first home the late actor ever bought. She adorned it with artefacts and paintings from around the world, before the family had to shut it down due to leakage and other maintenance issues.

The mansion includes Boney's Chennai office, a plush living area, one of Sridevi's first paintings, a “secret room,” a memorabilia wall with the family's old pictures, a TV room, Janhvi and her younger sister Khushi Kapoor's paintings that they made during the lockdown, and a tastefully done bathroom.
Janhvi will be next seen in Mr. & Mrs. Mahi and Ulajh. She will also make her Telugu debut with Devara: Part 1.
