Before her passing in 2018, Bollywood actor Sridevi had wanted to convert her sea-facing Chennai home into a luxurious hotel property.
The late actor's wish will be realised now with the launch of Airbnb's new homestay rental category called 'Icons'.
Nestled in lush greenery, the Kapoor family home in Chennai spans over four acres. Janhvi Kapoor, daughter of Bollywood actor-producer couple, Sridevi and Boney Kapoor, is opening up the house to guests for the first time through Airbnb.
This follows the California-based vacation rental company's launch of a new homestay category this week, where guests will be hosted in properties owned by prominent names from the world of music, film, television, art, sports, among others.
From New York to Chennai, the company has unveiled 11 'Icons', which includes Kapoor's coastal home. The category aims to offer unique experiences to guests around the world throughout the year.
