In her latest vlog, filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan gave fans a peek into Boman Irani's beautiful home. Two flats joined into one beauty Boman has combined two big flats, connected by a corridor inside the house. This corridor is decorated with paintings and a memory wall filled with family photos from different stages of life. Farah's first words: 'This is beautiful' As soon as Farah walks in, she gasps, 'This is beautiful.' And that sets the tone for the entire house tour. Living Room: Green sofas, marble floors and art The main living area is expansive, featuring green and white sofas set atop elegant marble flooring, a setting that feels both polished and inviting. The walls are adorned with beautiful artworks, and the ceilings uphold the spacious feel. It looks classy yet warm, and leads to the most exciting part of the house, a den dedicated to films. The den is a family favourite Taking Farah to the den, Boman says, 'We watch movies here.' It's a cosy space filled with comfort and cinema vibes. Farah notices a huge couch and says, 'Please do not miss this.'

He also points to another painting, and Farah is shocked, 'This one? I thought this was Hussain.' She laughs and says, 'Too good ya.' Boman reveals it's actually by food vlogger Kunal Vijayakar. Kitchen with a 'London' touch Next up is the kitchen, which Farah calls 'London ka Kitchen' because of its Victorian look and pretty wallpaper. She tells Zenobia, 'Your kitchen is so beautiful, Zenobia,' and jokes, 'Did you get it renovated before inviting me?' Zenobia shares they renovated it around two years ago. Boman reminds her, 'You visited our house then.' Farah replies, 'But, I didn't visit your kitchen that time.' A home filled with love and style From the cosy cinema den to the elegant dining room, every corner of Boman Irani's house tells a story. It's not just a luxurious home, it's full of warmth, memories and personality.

'Aadujeevitham' National Award miss: Prithviraj Sukumaran says , 'That man's story reaching people was enough'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) After 'Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life' failed to make it to the winners list at the 71st National Film Awards, fans of Prithviraj Sukumaran were visibly disappointed. Many expected the actor's intense and committed performance in the survival drama to earn national recognition. In a recent interview with Mid-Day, Prithviraj Sukumaran shared that awards were never the end goal. 'I wanted the film to work. I wanted people to like my performance, and most importantly, I wanted the world to know that man's story. All three happened,' he said. 'If I get a National Award, great; if I don't, congratulations to whoever gets it.' Fitness inspiration from Prithviraj Jury's decision sparks debate While the film received critical acclaim and connected with audiences, Aadujeevitham didn't make the final cut for the National Awards jury. Jury chairperson Ashutosh Gowariker reportedly felt the film lacked a natural flow and that Prithviraj's performance didn't come across as authentic. There are several criticisms aimed at 'The Kerala Story' win. Talking to On Manorama, the jury member and filmmaker Pradeep Nair added that, as a Malayali, he opposed the film's portrayal of Kerala, describing it as 'leaning towards propaganda.' The film's message remains its greatest victory 'The Goat Life', directed by Blessy, tells the harrowing true story of Najeeb, a migrant worker trapped in the desert under brutal conditions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This new air conditioner cools down a room in just seconds News of the Discovery Undo It was a project close to Prithviraj's heart, one that required immense physical and emotional effort over years of production. As ETimes review puts it, "What to say about Prithviraj, except that he lives the character and is superb as Najeeb, who is completely lost and at wit's end in this unfamiliar region. Quite apart from the stunning body transformation, he brings the right mix of innocence and vulnerability to the role. The cinematography by Sunil KS and KU Mohanan give the film the feel of a masterpiece. The desert is stark under their gaze and adds to the emotions of the storytelling. AR Rahman's soulful music is already a hit on social media."
