The huge living room is decked with contemporary velvet fawn sofas having clean, straight lines. Jackky says, "I like the contemporary look for my interiors. Just one object d'art in a dedicated space works best for me."

Italian marble flooring, eight-seater white Italian leather dining chairs and a glass table top with lots of velvet and diamantes as well as feathered cushions complete the luxurious look of the living room. A painting just above one of the sofa sets was a gift from Jaya Bachchan on the occasion of their previous home's house warming.

Vashu swears by the principles of Vastu and their entire house is structured according to the principles of the science. The home is very hi-tech, courtesy Jackky, who is totally into gizmos. The entire house is wired through a fully automated touch screen panel. So much so that the passage, wash basin taps etc all work on motion sensor!

Pinky is sentimental about a pair of silver Laxmi feet which sit pretty on the sturdy wooden centre table from Delhi. The dining table also has an eye-catching silver tea light holder got from their many travels to Dubai.

My dogs completely chewed through the cover and cushion of both of my couch cushions. Is there any place that I could get a replacement cushion AND cover? Please do not say the manufacturer. Thanks in advance.

You will need to call a reupholsterer. They will bring fabric swatches to your house and try to match the material the couch is made from. If they can’t match it exactly, what they will suggest they do is remove the fabric from the back of the couch (which they will replace with a fabric that closely matches your couch) and use the fabric from the back to make your new cushions. My husband fell asleep with a cigarette in his hand and set the arm of the couch on fire. They used the fabric from the back of the couch to reupholster the arm and one cushion that had a burn hole in it.
