During the home tour, Keerthy also opened up about her marriage, reflecting on how unexpected and overwhelming the moment felt for both of them. “We never even dreamt of a wedding like this because literally I thought we will elope,” she said.

Recalling the ceremony, she added, “I never dreamt of a wedding like this and to make that happen like that, we were speechless after a point of time. You’ve been longing for 15 years and that’s all come to those 30 seconds. At that point, I couldn’t see anything else. I was all blank. That’s probably the first time, I saw him tear up. It’s been a beautiful journey, it’s been great.”

Bedrooms

TL;DR: Keerthy’s bedroom features textured grey walls that provide depth and warmth, contrasted beautifully by a four‑poster bed with a woven cane headboard.

The balcony

TL;DR: The wraparound balcony is designed as both a relaxation zone and a social space.

The wraparound balcony is designed as both a relaxation zone and a social space. Planted with greenery and furnished with comfortable seating, this outdoor extension overlooks the city skyline.

Anchoring this space is a bar counter embedded with hundreds of personal photographs preserved in clear resin. A cheeky plaque overhead declares, ‘Nobody gets out sober,’ perfectly echoing Keerthy’s description of the balcony’s view and atmosphere as ‘very intoxicating.’

Personal corners & memorabilia

TL;DR: What truly sets this home apart are the small corners that tell big stories.

What truly sets this home apart are the small corners that tell big stories. In addition to the award collage in the living room, there is a moon artwork that charts the phases of the moon on the day the couple started dating and their wedding day, turning celestial moments into art.

There are photo walls throughout the home documenting family milestones, friends’ visits and shared moments. Keerthy says she wanted her home to be filled with conversation starters, with every wall and corner carrying a story of its own. She also shared a thoughtful message for young people building their dream homes.

“Make sure you do something deeply personal. Everything in the house should either speak to you or speak about you. Make it a house of fun—how happy you feel at home is what matters most. Keep that personal touch, surround yourself with things you can talk about,” she advised.
