Radhika Madan rose to fame with her powerful performance in Angrezi Medium, which also happened to be the late Irrfan Khan’s final film. Since then, she’s carved a space for herself in Bollywood with a string of acclaimed films and series, all while establishing financial independence at a young age. Her biggest achievement? A beautiful, spacious 3BHK apartment in Mumbai’s posh Juhu neighbourhood that feels every bit like home–for a Delhi girl.
Radhika Madan recently opened the doors of her dream home to choreographer-director Farah Khan for a candid house tour, and Farah’s jaw dropped the moment she stepped in. “Oh my God! Dilip, just look at her house,” Farah gasped, eyes wide with awe. “Radhika, I’ve never seen such a big house inside a Mumbai building!” Farah couldn’t help but ask, “Now tell me honestly–how much money are you making?”
Laughing, Radhika replied, “Maine thoda bahaut kaam kar liya (I have done some work).” Farah shook her head in disbelief. “Thoda? Look at this place–it’s stunning!” She then asked, “Did you buy it like this, or did you design it yourself?”

Radhika smiled and said, “I made it. I’m from Delhi, I’m used to kothis. So I created one here.”
The house seamlessly blends Delhi warmth with Mumbai practicality–complete with a tranquil garden area. “So what do you do here? Yoga or party?” Farah asked. Radhika replied, “Yoga in the morning, parties in the evening.”

Still marveling at the space, Farah asked, “So you live all by yourself?” Radhika nodded, “Yes, I do.” “Well, hopefully not for long. After seeing this house, I’m sure a lot of people would want to move in with you,” Farah teased.

“I’m hoping my parents shift here,” Radhika replied sincerely. “I wasn’t talking about them,” Farah quipped.
Radhika then revealed that she moved into the house about four years ago, when the space was just a bare structure with a balcony. “That year, I ended up shooting seven films,” she recalled. “It helped me pay off my home loan, and at the same time, I worked on the interiors.”

Farah nodded appreciatively, “It really has a Delhi vibe. So spacious–just like homes back there. Very hard to find this in Mumbai.” “Well, I am from Delhi,” remarked Radhika.
As the tour continued, Farah Khan asked, “Is there anything left to see–like the kitchen?” “Right here,” Radhika Madan said, guiding her toward it. “Even this will slide open–watch.” Farah gasped as the sleek partition moved away. “This looks like a James Bond kitchen!”

What caught Farah off guard next, though, was a humble matka (clay water pot) tucked away in a corner. “Wait, why do you have this?” she asked. Radhika said, “I grew up drinking matke ka paani. When I built this house, my mom told me, ‘Everything looks great–but you will still drink matka water.’”
Farah, clearly surprised, asked, “Where did you grow up again?” “Pritampura, in North Delhi,” Radhika replied.

Just then, Farah Khan spotted a kitchen towel hanging on the balcony door. Holding it with the tip of her fingers, she joked, “Yeh dekho, yeh Pritampura ka hai!” leaving Radhika Madan embarrassed and in splits.
“No matter how much we decorate our homes,” Radhika said thoughtfully, “deep down, we’re still the same people.” Farah agreed with a laugh, “You can take the girl out of Pritampura, but you can’t take Pritampura out of the girl.”

As the tour wrapped up, Farah asked one final question: “So, how many rooms do you have here?” “Three bedrooms,” Radhika replied proudly.
