Actor Lakshmi Manchu invited her fans for a tour of her lavish house in Mumbai in an episode of Gate Crashes by Mashable India, a series in which celebrities give a look into their homes. Her father, Mohan Babu, is fond of woodwork, which is why the furniture in the house is hand-made. Being conscious about the ‘carbon footprints you leave behind’, the actor is quite particular about buying new furniture and holds onto the pieces she likes.
Further in the video, Lakshmi gave a tour of her grand living room, which has two seating areas – one for meetings, and the other to hang out with friends. She spoke about highlighting different parts of the country through the interiors of her home. Talking about her belief in Sai Baba, she said, “We still don’t know if he is Hindu or Muslim, but he is a saint. I wake up in the morning, brush my teeth and have my first glass of water with him here. This is something I recently started doing. I know that I am divinely protected.”
Above her daughter Vidya Nirvana Manchu Anand’s piano were the awards she has received for her performances. While some accolades are displayed in her Mumbai house, others are still in Hyderabad. “I only brought the ones that I had my name on them, that’s how I chose what I wanted to bring with me. Most of these places you go, they don’t put your name on them and they all went in a box. So, if you give me an award, make sure my name is on it, if you want to be presented,” she expressed.
Lakshmi Manchu then showed her study room where “all the magic happens”. “My narrations happen here, because I like it to be cozy and comfortable.” After revealing her favourite animal ‘elephant’ through a beautiful painting, she moved on to her guest room, with the biggest television in the house. She shared that she has a two-layered curtain, to get good sleep even after returning from shoots early in the morning.
The last part of the tour was her ‘favourite’ – the huge balcony with over 300 plants. “Because of the pollution and being a swimmer, my daughter constantly gets cold and cough, so it helps to have as many plants around as we can. Being connected to nature is something I really love,” she concluded.
