‘I've actually cut up the covers and made a wall out of them': Inside Parineeti Chopra's sea-facing Mumbai home, where she lived before getting married
Before she tied the knot with politician Raghav Chadha, Parineeti Chopra gave fans a rare glimpse into the home she designed for herself—a peaceful, sea-facing flat in Mumbai. 'I think the definition of home only really started for me after I bought my first one,' Parineeti shared with Architectural Digest. 'It's about making it your own—having your favourite spots, feeling calm, and just being yourself.' And calm is exactly what this home breathes. With an open balcony that gazes to the Arabian Sea, it's no surprise that Parineeti would often begin her days groggy-eyed, wandering from her bedroom straight into the sunlight and salty breeze. Designed in collaboration with celebrated interior designer and architect Shabnam Gupta, the house blends understated elegance with pops of quirk. 'We went for a simple house,' Parineeti says, 'but added bursts of colour here and there—bursts of me, actually.' From the start, Parineeti wanted the space to reflect her identity. Childhood memories, her love for books, and small, joyful details were all translated into the corners of her home. 'I told Shabnam a lot about myself—my childhood, my habits, and she really brought all of that into the space.' One wall in particular holds a special place in her heart: her storybook wall. 'My earliest memory is of my mum giving me an Enid Blyton book,' she recalls. 'I've actually cut up the covers and made a wall out of them. It's like a tribute to all the stories that shaped me.' The most relaxing space in her home is her den—a spot where she reads, watches movies, and switches off. At the centre of it is a hand-painted Monopoly board on her coffee table. It's playful, bold, and unexpected—just like her. 'This table, it's not for anyone else. It's for me,' she says with a smile. 'Don't please people. Please yourself. Nothing else matters.' Beyond its design, Parineeti's home represents something deeper—a pause from the chaotic energy of work and travel. It's a place that holds her stillness, her books, her quirks, and her story. In many ways, it's a snapshot of who she was just before she stepped into the next chapter of her life.

Katy Perry, Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio: Celebrity Homes At Risk Amid Tsunami Warning In The US
The homes of Paris Hilton, Oprah Winfrey and Robert Downey Jr are also under threat. The National Tsunami Warning Centre has issued a tsunami warning for parts of the Aleutian Islands and the US West Coast, including California, Oregon, and Washington. Oregon is under a tsunami advisory, along with much of the West Coast spanning Canada's British Columbia province, Washington state and California. This follows a massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake that struck off Russia's Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula and Japan on Wednesday. Following the warning, several celebrity homes in California are at risk. Katy Perry Singer Katy Perry's huge mansion in the Montecito area is at risk. The luxurious $30 million estate is rented out to actor Chris Pratt and his family. Katy secured the home after a hard legal battle with a disabled veteran. Leonardo DiCaprio The actor has a beach house in Malibu that sits off the Pacific Coast Highway. According to reports, the actor bought the four-bedroom, five-bathroom home for $13.75 million in 2021. Jennifer Aniston The FRIENDS star also owns a beachfront property in Montecito, worth nearly $15 million. As per the Architectural Digest, the property boasts 'picturesque ocean and mountain views, multiple terraces, landscaped gardens, and a massive motor court, all set on a private lot nestled among oak trees at the end of a long-gated driveway". Sandra Bullock Hollywood star Sandra Bullock owns a beach house in the Malibu Cove Colony. The actress bought this home in 2018. She owns another property in the area, which has direct beach access. Robert Downey Jr The Oppenheimer and Marvel star owns a 6,500-square-foot modern luxury home in the Santa Monica Canyon area. The luxurious home has glass walls and open views of the Pacific Ocean. Oprah Winfrey As per Oprah owns 1000 acres of land on the island of Maui, Hawaii. This also includes two retreats in the Kula region. Besides the threat to her properties, Oprah is also facing flak for allegedly refusing to open a private Maui road during the tsunami evacuation. Celebs Who Lost Their Homes In The Palisades Fires This is not the first time that celebrities' homes have been at risk, but this time, the threat carries more weight after much of Hollywood lost their properties in the Palisades Fire earlier this year. Anna Faris, Paris Hilton, Billy Crystal, Eugene Levy, Adam Brody, Leighton Meister, Anthony Hopkins, Jeff Bridges, Eric Braeden, Tyra Banks, Ed Harris, Diane Warren, Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Rosie O'Donnell, JJ Redick, Sarah Levy, Barbara Corcoran, Denise Crosby, and many others are also confirmed to have lost homes across Palisades and Malibu areas.

Frank Lloyd Wright's former NYC home sold for $18.9M
The former Plaza residence of the famed American architect Frank Lloyd Wright sold at asking price for $18.9 million, The Post has learned. Wright spent five productive years at the Plaza while overseeing one of his final and most iconic designs, the Guggenheim Museum on the Upper East Side. The architect's large corner dwelling, once dubbed the Frank Lloyd Wright Suite, was on the market for less than five months. 7 Frank Lloyd Wright, pictured on a book tour in New York. Bettmann Archive 7 The Plaza has long been an eye-catching sight on Central Park South. The Charlie Attias Team / Compass 7 The spacious living room of the corner condo unit. The Charlie Attias Team / Compass The four-bedroom listed in February for $18.5 million, boasting 4,000 square feet and sweeping Central Park views. It quickly entered contract in late April and the ink finally dried two months later, according to city records. Wright lived at the Plaza with his wife, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright, from 1954 to 1959. He managed to find time to redesign the unit while overseeing the Guggenheim Museum's construction, and he even used the building's lobby to unveil early plans for the still-highly visited structure. Not only was the art museum one of the American architect's most famous projects, but it was also one of his last. Wright died just six months before the Guggenheim Museum opened its doors in October 1959. The apartment's next generation of ownership is hidden behind a shell corporation. Listing agent Charlie Attias of Compass revealed to The Post that the mystery buyer is from New York, but is not a New York City local. 7 The formal dining area.

The Charlie Attias Team / Compass Attias, who shared the listing with fellow broker Connor Ramage and Brooke Winsness, declined to provide additional details. In addition to Venetian plaster walls, custom moldings and mosaic tilework, the luxe condo offers 13-foot ceilings and oversize windows with panoramas of Central Park, Grand Army Plaza and Fifth Avenue. Owners at the Plaza Private Residences also benefit from hotel amenities like 24-hour room service and twice-a-day housekeeping. 7 A sitting room that could double as a bedroom.

The Charlie Attias Team / Compass The well-appointed perch previously belonged to heirs of the Hudson News empire, James and Lisa Cohen. The pair purchased the condo 2009 for $13 million and used it as a pied-à-terre. Architect Louis Lisboa of VL Architects and interior designer Susanna Maggard were tapped to undertake extensive gut renovations. The upgraded interiors were featured in Architectural Digest more than once. The Cohens attempted listed the home in 2015 for a whopping $39.5 million — later reduced to $26 million — but found no takers. The successful sale of Wright's former home is happy news for the Plaza Private Residences, where excess listings and big price drops were reported by The Post just last year.
