Actor and Traitor’s season 2 winner D’Souza recently gave filmmaker Farah Khan a glimpse inside her Mumbai home in a September 7 YouTube video, offering a closer look at the spaces she designed herself and the memories she carries from growing up in a much smaller house in Sion.
Located in Lokhandwala, Andheri West, the high-rise apartment is a blend of modern and Parisian-inspired interiors, with a warm, neutral palette running throughout the home. Large floor-to-ceiling glass doors bring in plenty of natural light and open onto a balcony. The open-plan layout also includes a sleek wooden dining table and a built-in display unit where Krystle keeps her acting awards, books and travel souvenirs. The uncluttered floor space leaves plenty of room for entertaining guests. D’Souza recalled growing up in a considerably smaller home. We all used to stay there. Krystle now lives by herself and joked about having more space than she needs. The apartment also includes a dedicated walk-in wardrobe for her clothing and accessories, a fitting addition for the actor, who openly admits her love for fashion and handbags. One of the most personal spaces in the home is Krystle’s dedicated vanity and glam room. The space stands out from the neutral tones elsewhere in the apartment , featuring a bold orange couch against a stone backdrop and an illuminated neon statement sign. It doubles as the actor’s getting-ready space and houses her extensive collection of beauty products.
Krystle primarily designed the apartment herself after purchasing it during the pandemic, opting for beige tones, wooden textures and sleek high-gloss flooring.

Farah also reminisced about her own childhood home, saying, “We also had a small 500-square-foot house like this.
“I am loving this space,” Farah said during the tour. “It was a one-bedroom hall… I think some 700 square feet,” she said, explaining that her mother, father, grandmother, uncle, aunt, brother and she all lived together. “I live alone, what would I do with a three-and-a-half-bedroom?” she said.
