Inside Radhika Madan's Delhi-like luxury home in Mumbai with spacious garden, sliding kitchen and a meeting room; ‘I want to know your income', says Farah Khan
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.

Amitabh Bachchan writes a letter appreciating Farah Khan's ‘outspoken verbosity', her cook Dilip asks if he will get one from Big B too
Besides being a renowned filmmaker and choreographer in Bollywood, Farah Khan is also emerging as one of the most beloved content creators on social media with her cooking vlogs featuring celebrities. Thanks largely to her adorable bond with her longtime cook Dilip — with their funny banter being the highlight of the vlogs — Farah's videos have been receiving a lot of love and praise from viewers. Recently, Farah and Dilip paid a visit to Sarfira actor Radhikka Madan's house, where they shot an episode of the show. Meanwhile, Radhikka also gave Farah a tour of her house, during which the filmmaker stumbled upon one of Radhikka's most cherished possessions: a handwritten note from Amitabh Bachchan that she has since gotten framed and displayed prominently in her house. She revealed that Big B sent her the letter after watching her performance in director Homi Adajania's Angrezi Medium (2020), wherein she shared the screen with legendary actor Irrfan Khan. It was his final film to be released before his death. Meanwhile, with a playful pout, Farah complained, 'Amitabh sir, you have never written to me. Please, koi toh letter bhej do (send me one too)!' Now, in an incident that underscores the saying 'be careful what you wish for; you just might get it', a special note has arrived for Farah Khan. And it's from none other than the Shahenshah of Bollywood! Making her dream come true, Amitabh Bachchan has sent a handwritten letter to the director-choreographer, in which he wrote, 'Dearest Farah, there are moments when exceptional talents in various diverse mediums goes beyond any appreciation. Appreciation, as a word describing your enormous creative contributions, falls short by miles. May you continue your outspoken verbosity in the years ahead. My love, affection and regard, Amitabh Bachchan.' He wrote the note at 3.13 am on July 28. A post shared by Farah Khan Kunder (@farahkhankunder) In a video she posted on Instagram, Farah unveiled the letter she got from Amitabh Bachchan. 'Thank youuuuu @amitabhbachchan sirrrrrr uv made my year!! So sporting, so gracious and such good English to boot 😂 lovvv u Amitji ❤️🙏🏼,' she wrote in the description box. As usual, this video also ended with a fun banter between Farah and Dilip, during which the latter asked her to request Big B to send him a letter as well. Farah wrapped up the video by teasing Dilip, saying, 'First ask your wife to send you a letter'.
