The one-storey house features a white façade surrounded by a well-maintained garden. Khanna welcomed his guest along with his pet dog. A spacious verandah stretches across the front, leading to a wooden entrance that opens into the main living areas, including the living room, dining space, and kitchen.
The living room is filled with family photographs spanning several generations, including cherished pictures from his grandmother’s time. A large window overlooking the garden floods the room with natural light, creating a warm and inviting corner.
During the conversation, Khanna’s mother, Bindu, revealed that she had trained as a pilot and is also known as “the first lady driver of Punjab.” He went on to share that she trained alongside the late Rajiv Gandhi during his flying lessons but had to pause her aviation dream after getting married.
“I would have been the number one pilot,” she said in the video.
The adjoining dining area centres around a six-seater wooden table, reflecting the family’s emphasis on sharing meals together. The space also features a small mandir, colourful paintings adorning the walls, and indoor plants that add vibrancy to the interiors.
Neha Raina, Studio IAAD, explained how curated objects like old furniture, family photographs, or handwritten notes help create a space that feels emotionally lived-in. She highlighted that such objects carry a sense of personal history that new purchases simply cannot replicate.
She further explained that these pieces often serve as quiet anchors in a space; they tell stories, foster familiarity, and convey a sense of permanence. “In many homes today, we are seeing clients move away from decorative excess and instead invest in objects that feel personal and emotionally resonant. When layered with contemporary interiors, these elements create homes that feel collected over time rather than instantly curated,” she added.
