The focal point of the living area is a canvas by Subodh Gupta, set between a pair of Visionnaire wall ­sconces. After entering the home through the entrance in the main ­bungalow, one arrives at a faux-brick finished foyer, moves into a formal living room with a fresco and ceiling skylight that is also the sole source of light, followed by a dining area, and then a transitional space that has the original stairwell.

Gauri, who styled the interiors of the space, says the effort was intensive and eye opening. “It took years of sourcing, travelling and editing to get to the point where everything looked just right,” she says. In fact, the four years she spent devising Mannat’s interiors turned the once stay-at-home celeb mother of three into a decorator.
