The abode of renowned costume designer Neeta Lulla, who worked for Pawan Kalyan’s flick Bro, stands as a testimony to urban planning. Salient features of the heritage structures are strikingly visible in the abode.
It is true that she forgets time and surroundings while watching her home with rather amusement. There is no exaggeration to say that one forgets the time spent watching the interior designs of her home.
Let us interact with her and find out several interesting aspects of her home.
“I grew up in two kinds of houses. One is an apartment in the heart of Hyderabad but close to Secunderabad. The other house is called Balkeswar, in which I have grown up since childhood. It has been fondly called Gopal Bhavan. It is bigger and more spacious. It is so spacious that the family members used to play badminton on the premises,” she said, becoming nostalgic about her ancestral home in Hyderabad.
“The house was built by my grandfather. In a way, I spent my childhood amidst pieces of wonderful art and architecture. In fact, my grandfather migrated to India from Karachi, Pakistan. That is why the house that he had built reflected the culture of the period,” she reasoned.
Neeta’s grandfather built a palatial building with at least two dining rooms. Interestingly, Neeta learned how to ride a bicycle in the bungalow. The architecture of the structure can be described as a milieu of ancient architectural style and modernity. Several paintings and works of sculpture unveil the vintage ambience in the palace.
She expressed her love for gold. She lived in a joint family following her marriage. After the marriage, she gave preference to the convenience of family members at the expense of her priorities. That is why she took no pains to change the interiors of the home. Right from childhood, she was accustomed to living in a bungalow. I still remember how my parents moved to a big bungalow from an apartment in Secunderabad. I am used to living in such houses. Even when she is not employed anywhere, Neeta Lulla devotes most of her time to designing and never wastes her time.
Now that she owns the place, she is capable of tastefully decorating the interiors as per her choice. Now the building houses her studio. She claimed that she would not be able to design without beauty and sensitivity. She regards her studio as her second home. The whole concept of the interior design makes a style statement. Even now, she does not feel like building a home in France. She adjusts herself to live in a peaceful place near the seashore. She has had full control over the interior design aspects. But interior design is a totally different matter. There is a lot of scope for creativity in this activity. She spent three days grooming the vintage furniture into special pieces of furniture.
Fond of actress Sri Devi’s home
To a question, Neeta Lulla says that she liked the Chennai house of popular actress Sri Devi. The front part of the house has doors with beautiful mirror work. The art in the house is superb. The mirrored work on the walls is awesome.
One would feel “wow” on looking at the house of Bollywood veteran actress Hema Malini. Her abode reflects complete Indianness. The house has the vibe of Braindavan. The house has several interesting pieces of art, from toys to bronze lanterns and wonderful paintings.
The house of South Indian actor Allu Arjun transports the viewers to a different world. Though minimalist in approach, the box-type house steals hearts. The exterior is painted white. There is a lot of positivity in the house.
The designer Neeta Lulla mad attempts to flee the place to Mumbi to escape from academics. She was an alumnus of St. Andrew’s School in Secunderabad. After settling down in Mumbai, she feels like she’s missing her home town of Hyderabad. Especially in Mumbai, she misses the Idly Sambar that she gets in Hyderabad. However, she has plans to return to Hyderabad.
In the process, she came across Home Tech Creative College.
