The Story in Brief

Kunal Kemmu's sister Karishma Khemu documented the family's emotional return to their ancestral home in Srinagar, decades after they had to leave it overnight. The traditional multi-storey mansion features handcrafted wooden balconies, exposed stone walls and carved pillars typical of old Kashmiri architecture. Karishma said in a video: 'What we had to leave behind in one night… today, years later, we are walking through the streets of Srinagar and visiting our house.'

The family pointed out rooms belonging to different members and recalled childhood memories. However, the once-sprawling property has now been divided into rented units, with several sections locked and no electricity in parts of the staircase. The visit highlighted both the heritage charm and the passage of time. Kemmu, meanwhile, is busy with projects including 'Golmaal 5', a sequel to 'Madgaon Express' and hosting reality show 'The Alliance'.

The Indian Opinion

The Kemmu family's return to their Srinagar home stirs genuine nostalgia, but the coverage risks romanticising a painful departure. The story skips the context of why families fled Kashmir overnight, reducing a complex history to a celebrity photo-op. The real test is whether this visit sparks any honest conversation about the thousands of other Kashmiri Pandit homes still locked or occupied, or if it remains just another Instagram reel for likes.
