In her latest vlog, filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan took her viewers to the house of veteran actor Boman Irani, who has the most beautiful house that exudes old-world charm. Boman has merged two big flats to make the house of his dreams. The two flats are connected with a corridor from within the house, which is decorated with several aesthetic paintings and a memory wall with pictures of his family members from different phases of their lives.

The house includes a huge living room, which is decorated with green and white couches, beautiful paintings and marble flooring. The living room leads to a den, which is nothing but a space dedicated to cinema, where the family watches movies. On the other side of the corridor is a beautiful dining room that looks like it’s straight out of an English film.

As soon as Farah enters the house, she gasps, “This is beautiful.”

Boman Irani gives her a tour of the house and shares the backstory of the several paintings hanging on the walls of his house. He has a painting from Satish Gujaral, a renowned painter and the younger brother of former Prime Minister Inder Kumar Gujral.

Among the many paintings, Boman also introduces Farah to a painting by food vlogger Kunal Vijjayakar. A shocked Farah says, “This one? I thought this was Hussain.” An impressed Farah says, “Too good ya.”

Taking Farah to a different corner of the house, Boman reveals, “We watch movies here.” Farah then points at the “extra long sofa” and says, “Please do not miss this.” She adds, “He has this extra long sofa because he has a huge family.” Boman adds, “So big that sometimes we have to put extra chairs to for everyone to fit.” He then says, “This is like our little auditorium.”

They then head to the actor’s kitchen, which Farah Khan calls “London ka Kitchen” due to its Victorian design and choice of wallpaper. Farah says, “Your kitchen is so beautiful, Zenobia.” She jokes, “Did you get it renovated before inviting me?”

Zenobia shares they got their kitchen renovated about two years ago. Boman says, “You visited our house then.” Farah says, “But, I didn’t visit your kitchen that time.”

Boman always wanted a smaller home. However, it was actor Anil Kapoor who encouraged him to buy something bigger.

In an interview with Asian Paints Where The Heart Is in 2019, Boman Irani shared, “That was kind of the time I signed Munna Bhai MBBS. So I started calculating how much my EMI would be and I was muttering to myself for weeks. Anil Kapoor saw me on the sets and said, ‘What are you thinking?’ I said, ‘I am falling short big-time on buying a flat.’ He said, ‘Just buy it.’ I said I don’t have the money and he said, ‘Money will come. You can’t buy square feet later. You can buy furniture. Sleep on the floor but buy the flat.’ And that’s how we ended up buying this place which has become our home, friend, mother whatever you would like to call it for about 14 years now.”
