For the uninformed, Jay and Juhi along with their two kids reside in two floors of the house while the businessman's uncle stays in another.
Bollywood actress and Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner Juhi Chawla and husband Jay Mehta's ancestral home in Malabar Hills, Mumbai, is what dreams are made of.
The celebrity couple recently renovated the terrace of the palatial house that was apparently bought by the actress' businessman husband's grandfather in 1940. And now, pictures from after the face-lift have surfaced on the Internet and it is needless to say that they are unmissable.
The renovation work was entrusted upon renowned Sri Lankan architect Channa Daswatte, whom Jay has previously worked with on multiple projects in India and abroad.
An avid art collector and lover, Jay, while speaking to Architectural Digest about his home and the vision he had for it, said, "I don’t have to explain anything to him; he really understands my way of life."
For the uninformed, Jay and Juhi along with their two kids reside in two floors of the house while the businessman's uncle stays in another. Two other floors apparently house Jay's art collection.
And going by Jay's words, it seems like Channa has gone beyond and done more than expected. The renovation work done on the terrace of the house is nothing short of an architectural masterpiece. Take a look.
