If you ever find yourself wondering what it’s like to live like a Bollywood mogul, just imagine sipping coffee in a lounge designed by Gauri Khan, overlooking the Arabian Sea, with a guest washroom fancier than most five-star hotels. Because that, dear reader, is Karan Johar’s world.
And thanks to filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan, fans recently got an exclusive inside tour of his extravagant home via her YouTube channel. With her signature wit, Farah introduced the video with, “Today, we have come to Karan Johar’s home, and he is not home right now. And this series is called ‘How poor do I want to feel’.” Safe to say, the tour did not disappoint!
Step inside Karan Johar’s home
Designed in part by Karan’s close friend Gauri Khan, along with interior designer Simone Dubash Pundole, the home is a perfect mix of high-end sophistication and warm, welcoming vibes. From plush lounges that have hosted the who’s who of Bollywood to a kitchen straight out of a luxury magazine, every corner screams elegance.
Farah began the tour with Karan’s lobby, before moving to his lounge with a bar, which has been the setting for many star-studded evenings with the likes of Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan, and more.
One of the standout features? The kansa (copper)-themed guest washroom—a detail that left Farah particularly awestruck. And if that wasn’t fancy enough, Karan even stocks tiffin boxes for guests to take home as parting gifts!
Where luxury meets functionality
Karan’s kitchen is a modern masterpiece, decked out with metallic-accented gadgets, white-toned lighting fixtures, and sleek wooden décor. Practical yet stylish, the kitchen boasts ample storage and counter space—because even in a house this fancy, good food is still a priority!

His lounge and living room are equally breathtaking. With ceiling-high glass windows, the space offers mesmerizing views of the Mumbai skyline. Plush sofas, neutral-toned armchairs, and a statement chandelier add to the grandiose vibe.
His dining area seats 8-10 people, making it perfect for hosting lavish dinner parties. Beautiful artwork, elegant curtains, and soft natural light create an effortlessly luxurious ambiance.
The ultimate showstopper: KJo’s closet & terrace
No Karan Johar home tour would be complete without a look at his walk-in closet. Featuring spacious wooden cupboards and floor-length mirrors, this closet is every fashion enthusiast’s dream. And given Karan’s love for designer couture, it’s no surprise that his wardrobe is as grand as his films.
The terrace, offering panoramic views of the Arabian Sea, is another highlight. With lush greenery, cosy outdoor furniture, and the perfect setting for late-night conversations, it’s an oasis in the middle of Mumbai’s bustling skyline.
