"The problem wasn't that we had to shift from our own home to a rented apartment, but rather that we had to fit a 4 BHK home, which had a wardrobe in every bedroom, into a 3 BHK home, which has wardrobes in only two bedrooms," she said.Karishma shared that they had to let go of many belongings before making the move. "That's why most of the stuff we gave away to our house help and watchman in Gurgaon," she said.‘A rented home should also reflect your personality’Despite the change, Karishma said she was determined to make the rented apartment feel warm and personal. "Secondly, we were sure that although it will be our rented home, we will decorate it as if it's our own home. Because whether a house is your own or rented, I think it should bring peace and it should reflect your personality," she said.She also revealed that only the drawing room had been set up so far, while several cartons were still lying around in other rooms. "By the way, only our drawing room is set up right now because there are still cartons lying around in some of the rooms. But I am really happy with how it has turned out," she added.The clip was shared with the caption, "Namma Bengaluru, the next destination of our lives.
