In Pics: Akshay Kumar and twinkle Khanna's home is paradise on earth!

They say home is where the heart is and that’s the thought that comes to your mind when you have a look at Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna’s beautiful Mumbai home.

Contemporary art, family photographs and curios loaded with personal memories makes their house look like a paradise on earth, quite literally.

For Twinkle Khanna her home not only reflects her expensive tastes and style, it also takes her down the memory lane. That’s why her house has a mango tree.

The story of the mango tree started in her home where she lived till she was 12, the magnificent Aashirwad that was owned by her father, legendary actor Rajesh Khanna. “The tree sort of burst through the glass ceiling. My sister and I would go to the terrace and pluck mangoes,” she recalls.

She has left that house a long time back, but the mango tree has become an integral part of every house she's lived in after that.

The sea-facing Mumbai apartment where she now lives with superstar hubby Akshay Kumar, 12-year-old son Aarav, two-year-old daughter Nitara and a German Shepherd Cleo, has one too. Checkout the amazing pictures of her tastefully done house!

The house was done by Twinkle from scratch

The house has been done by Twinkle herself and she believes that decorating a home does not mean that it has to be filled with expensive objects.

“It’s not about going to a store in Italy and saying ‘I’ll have one of everything," agrees husband Akshay Kumar.

That's the reason why her house is filled with paintings done by her mother and artwork by her son Aarav.

The garden of their house faces the magnificent Arabian Sea.

The spacious living room

The house has a spacious living room that also has a beautifully done up centre table by none other that designer duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla.

The ample space ensures that little Nitara (Twinkle and Akshay's two-year-old daughter) can run around as seen in the picture.

The impressive dining room

Twinkle Khanna describes her home as “a modern, clean-cut space with eclectic cultural references.”

“It’s not about floor-to-ceiling windows; it’s about understanding light, playing with elevation, using the right textures,” she says.

The dining table has a kansa (bronze) dinner set from Good Earth and the family have all their meals on that every day.

The living room houses an indoor pond

The tastefully done living room houses an indoor pond and also a painting by Klove studio that lights up the whole room.

Twinkle and Akshay's favourite spot

The couples favourite space in the house is on the first floor, which has a daybed and a painting by son Aarav hangs above it.

This is the space where the couple unwind and can also be find playing ludoo!

Expensive paintings adorn the walls

A painting by Indian James Bond by artist Rajeswara Rao adorns the wall adjacent to the indoor pond.

Curios from around the world

The house also has some expensive curios from across the world. A Mother Mary and baby Jesus sculpture adorns the living room, which Akshay Kumar spotted in Spain.

Living close to family

Both Twinkle and Akshay are happy that they have their family staying close to them. While Kumar’s mother and sister live in the same building, Twinkle's mother Dimple Kapadia's house is just around the corner.

“Often, when we want to go out for dinner, we just walk on the beach to the Marriott. Nobody bothers us,” says Kumar.

And clearly, this is what they want to do for the rest of their lives.
