In a recent visit, popular choreographer Farah Khan and her cook Dilip explored the enchanting farmhouse of veteran Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff. Located between Mumbai and Pune, Shroff's 44,000 square-foot property is a true countryside haven, surrounded by a stunning array of over 700 plants, including roses, giloy, and mulberry.
The farmhouse boasts a small man-made lake where Shroff keeps fish and enjoys spending time with farm animals like hens and ducks. Dilip was amazed by the serene setting and even joked about wanting to swim in the lake. Farah and Dilip were then introduced to Shroff, who was relaxing in a jacuzzi beside a swimming pool, enjoying the cloudy weather.
During their tour, Shroff showed Farah and Dilip a special Kadama tree he had planted 12 years ago as a tribute to his mother. He explained the significance of the Kadama tree in Hindu mythology, as it is believed to be the same tree where Radha and Krishna connected and spent time. The trio also explored the farmhouse's amphitheater and the 'Titanic Spot', an iron-clad platform offering stunning views of the surrounding farms and nature.
Towards the end of their visit, Farah, Shroff, and Dilip headed to the farmhouse kitchen, where Shroff cooked up a delicious meal of amaranth saag, baingan bharta, and a kanji-like rice preparation, along with freshly baked rotis. Farah was left mesmerized by the rustic, minimal, and nature-centric design of Shroff's farmhouse, calling it a perfect getaway spot.
