As a mischievous child, Emraan Hashmi had burnt down his backyard and had a
mud-flinging match with his friends. He continues to live in his Pali Hill pad. One fine afternoon, we embark on a house darshan with the actor

PAINT IT WHITE

Emraan has been living in his Pali Hill pad for the last 27 years. After having experimented with the interiors, the actor is now satisfied with the look of his space. The living-cum-dining-room has been painted in white and brown. The white couches and bric-a-bracs are in keeping with the colour scheme too. "I have always wanted a minimalist house. I do fancy white because it goes with any other colour and keeps you calm. The paintings have been put up only to break the monotony."

CHAI TIME

The balcony is meant for morning tea and evening snacks with friends. The actor has no plans of moving out of his pad because of its location and his neighbourhood friends. "The balcony is for fresh air and chilling with friends. I can just spend hours here," he says.

ARTY TOITY

Coming to the bedroom, the colour schemes are black and white. Apart from the film posters, the room houses one of his favourite paintings. An abstract design, the actor had found it while surfing on the internet. "I loved this design and got it recreated."

POSTER BOY

The actor simply loves collecting life-size posters. Whenever he is in London, he heads straight to the HMV store at Oxford Street for his quota of posters. His favourite posters include Kill Bill and Fight Club.

THE GADGET SHOW

A self-confessed gadget guru, he treasures his home-theatre system, plasma TV, gaming consoles and laptop. He doles out advice to his friends about gadgets. At present, he is yearning for an Apple iPhone. Talking about his Play Station 3, he says, "A friend of mine gifted it to me on my wedding. She bought it from Tokyo, after waiting for hours in a queue," he says.
