Farah Khan Explores the Warm, Artistic World of Jackie Shroff's Mumbai Residence
Renowned filmmaker Farah Khan recently stepped into the inviting, art-filled world of veteran actor Jackie Shroff's sea-facing Mumbai home. Every corner of this residence tells a compelling story of family, sophisticated style, and lived-in luxury, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a genuine, joyful family home than a typical star's mansion.
Minimalist Elegance Curated by Ayesha and Krishna Shroff
Farah Khan visited the Shroff family home to film an episode for her popular YouTube channel. Upon entering the spacious and beautifully designed house, she immediately inquired, "Whose house is this?" Krishna Shroff responded with a warm smile, "All four of us live here." The home showcases a clean, simple aesthetic with white walls, elegant wooden flooring, and carefully selected artwork by celebrated Indian artists.
The living room embodies an airy, uncluttered feel with a pristine white sofa, a wooden coffee table, a stylish cupboard, and a few carefully placed chairs. Admiring the beautiful space, Farah commented to Krishna, "This house is stunning." Krishna explained how she and her mother Ayesha created the home from scratch, noting that "wooden flooring gives a very cozy feeling" and that they both prefer open spaces, which is reflected throughout the residence.
Art Collection and Spiritual Spaces
As Farah admired a striking portrait of Goddess Lakshmi, she exclaimed, "This is very beautiful." Krishna shared that her mother is an avid art collector, though she admitted, "I can't tell a lot about them." The dining area maintains the home's elegant simplicity with a black dining table, matching chairs, seashell decorations, and decorative candle stands.
During her tour, Farah noticed a chalk drawing on a blackboard and asked if it was also art. Krishna confirmed it was indeed by MF Husain, depicting a dancing girl alongside an elephant balancing on one leg while playfully holding a ball that mirrors the girl's pose. When Farah asked if the drawing gets wiped out, Krishna reassured her it doesn't, prompting Farah to joke about how Dilip might have cleaned it to impress visitors, which brought laughter from everyone present.
Near the dining area, the home features a beautifully adorned temple corner with idols of Hindu gods, adding a spiritual dimension to the living space.
Jackie Shroff's Surprise Appearance and Family Moments
Jackie Shroff made a surprise appearance during the tour, with Farah greeting him enthusiastically, "Jaggu dada, what an amazing house you have. I thought your farmhouse was the star, but this is even better." When asked whether his daughter lives with him, Jackie responded in his signature style, "My daughter, mera beta, mera aurat, mera billi bhi, mera doggie bhi—sab."
Krishna then showed Farah what she proudly calls the "best spot" in their home—a gorgeous balcony complete with comfortable seating, a jacuzzi, and an ice bath setup overlooking the ocean and surrounding greenery. "You don't get this kind of scenery in this city. That's the biggest luxury, no buildings in front, no one looking into your home, just plants and the ocean," said Krishna, adding that the family loves gathering there in the evenings to watch spectacular sunsets.
Fitness Zone and Family History
Gesturing toward the jacuzzi located next to Tiger Shroff's room, Krishna explained, "This is our morning routine gym, then jacuzzi, then ice bath." The house includes a dedicated ice bath setup, with Krishna noting that "doing jacuzzi and ice bath together regulates your nervous system."
As part of her visit, Farah also met Sunita, the Shroff family's trusted house manager who has been with Jackie since 1983, even before his marriage. Sunita shared, "I have been with Jackie Shroff since his Hero days. I have seen Krishna and Tiger grow up, carried them in my arms, and played with them."
The tour revealed a home that perfectly balances celebrity lifestyle with genuine family warmth, where art, spirituality, fitness, and natural beauty come together to create a truly unique living space that reflects the Shroff family's personality and values.
