Parineeti Chopra buys a new home

Parineeti Chopra is all set to move into her new home on Carter Road in Bandra, a posh suburb of Mumbai. Her new neighbour will be Karan Johar.

"Yes, I bought a new home," Parineeti confirms. "And I’ve taken time off to do up my dream home all on my own brick-by-brick."

Parineeti has a professional architect but she is looking into every aspect of the home’s design and decoration.

"Since I’ve the time before I go into another film, I am enjoying the process of picking sofa covers and cushions all on my own," she gushes.

She will shift into her four-bedroom dream home at the end of this month.

The process of collecting design data began years back.

"I have always been interested in interior designs. Wherever I travelled, I’d take pictures. It could be a hotel room, or a shop. Anything that caught my fancy was clicked by me. I’ve an exhaustive folder of thousands of pictures," she says.

Parineeti used those pictures as reference for her home. “My interior designer said she had never met anyone as clear about what she wanted her home to look like. Others, apparently change their minds all the time about they want their home look like. Not me. It’s my collected images culled from years of collection and recollection," she says.

She hopes to throw a house-warming party as soon as she moves to her new home. And of course, Karan Johar is invited!

"Karan’s house is my landmark location whenever someone asks for my address. I told Karan , ‘You’re my landmark,'" she says.
