Veteran Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff recently invited filmmaker-turned-vlogger Farah Khan into his stunning Maharashtra property. Famous for her engaging content on YouTube, Khan is now known to give her fans a sneak peek into the biggest homes of Bollywood. However, stealing hearts is her cook, Dilip, who is seen in all episodes as the stars often spill some industry secrets.
Taking a tour of Jackie Shroff’s lavish farmhouse this time, the duo cooked organic patte ki bhaaji in traditional mud pots on a rustic stove. All grown in his iconic kitchen garden, Shroff has recently been seen connecting with nature in his public appearances.
Swimming pool, akhada-style gym, and more
Spanning across 44,000 square feet of green space, Jackie Shroff’s extravagant farmhouse is located between Mumbai and Pune. Bought as a gift to commemorate his 25th wedding anniversary, it remains one of his most loved retreats from his real estate portfolio. The property welcomes guests with spots of greenery, including diverse species of endemic trees and plants.
Laced with life and abundant with nature’s glory, the Shroff farmhouse opens to a large fish pond and a separate poultry section. Showing Khan a space of land, Shroff revealed that he wishes to house cattle in the future. With a dedicated space for organic farming, the farmhouse boundaries also include a massive swimming pool, a jacuzzi, amphitheatre, and an akhada-style gym.
During the home tour, Shroff showed Farah Khan a particular tree he had planted 12 years ago. He had planted it on his mother’s birthday, a gesture that Khan was really touched by. Joking about her filmmaking plans, Khan asked, “Dada, yahan shooting allowed hai kya?” to which Jackie smiled and replied, “For you, everything is allowed.”
Jackie’s very own ‘Titanic Point’
He even took her to his “Titanic Point,” where they posed together in the iconic style. As they explored the grounds, Farah asked, “How many plants do you think you have here?” Jackie replied, “I believe over 700.” Farah quipped, “Don’t tell me you bring the plants to parties from your farm!” Jackie grinned and said, “I do.”
Shroff also gave Khan a tour of his daughter, Krishna Shroff’s, room. Designed in an open maximalist aesthetic, you can spot several wall hangings and frames from the decor. Airy and well-lit, natural light has been prioritised in the architecture of the farmhouse. There was also a signature room decor piece in the room made of wood. It was a functional piece made of wood and looked as though Shroff was sitting in the room.
