Some homes awe with grandeur. Others, like Aparshakti Khurana and Akriti’s Mumbai residence, draw you in and make you want to stay.
Named ‘Arzia’ after their daughter Zoe, the home marks a fresh chapter for the couple. “She came into our lives and within one month we had this house, we got it registered,” Aparshakti shares with AD India. Akriti adds, “It’s all our wishes combined into one, and hence the name.”
The interiors were curated by Rupin Sachak, whose touch brings stories to life. “Even on the phone, I felt the vibe. He already felt like family,” Aparshakti laughs.
“I love layering stories,” Akriti tells us. “Stripes here, florals there… mixing leather with wood, overlapping carpets, and then adding plants. They tie everything together. We all love plants.”
Among the living room’s many conversation starters, one element never fails to captivate. “Out of everything, I love this wall the most,” Aparshakti beams. “People just stop and stare, it’s the first thing everyone notices.”
The blue chandelier is another favourite. Akriti had spotted it in Delhi long ago and insisted on bringing it home. “I told him we had to get it,” she smiles. Aparshakti chuckles, “The house registration came later. The chandelier arrived first!”
What makes Arzia so personal are the details that reflect their roots. Childhood photographs, scattered across walls and hallways, tell untold stories. “We want everyone who visits to see a slice of our childhood, who we were, where we came from, and where we’re headed,” Akriti shares.
A wall featuring Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘If’ adds a philosophical touch. “Life won’t always be smooth… But no matter how tough it gets, you have to get up and face it every day,” Aparshakti tells AD India.
Cohabiting harmoniously requires little hacks, too. Aparshakti swears by having separate spaces to get ready. “This is where I do all my drama baazi,” he laughs, pointing to Akriti’s corner. “One simple tip for a happy married life: have your own spaces.”
And the biggest revelation during the house setup? “I didn’t realise how many shoes I had! Rupin Bhaiji sorted it all, thankfully!”
Arzia isn’t just a house; it’s a story of love, laughter, family, and the small moments that make it feel like home.
