Farah Khan and his cook Dilip went to the actor’s hometown of Mumbai Murali Sharma and Ashwini Kalsekar in their latest YouTube cooking vlog. The couple welcomed Farah with a big smile and prepared a delicious baingan pachdi for the occasion. During the tour, Farah, the filmmaker behind ‘Main Hoon Naa’, reminisced about filming with Murali, who played Khan in the movie. He said he was once mistakenly left hanging in a harness, a mistake that went away Shah Rukh Khan to break

Looking back on their time recording the hit song in 2004, Murali said, “I had to fly up to the first floor.” Farah also said: “At that time, horses were not very good and people did not know how to use them properly.” He just got out of the car and Murali was hanging on the door. The mural and the door both flew away. “He went on to say, “The people were laughing. This was the first time he was carrying a rope. When Shah Rukh sir came, they showed him the whole shot. He fell on the floor laughing.” His wife Ashwini laughed out loud and said, “Even if you see the shot now, he is really scared.”

The conversation then moved to the living room, where the couple explained how their love affair with Farah began. Murali and Ashwini tied the knot in 2009, after first crossing paths in the 2005 movie ‘Apaharan’. The couple has been open in the past about their struggles with having children of their own, both health and financial issues. Adding humor to the vlog, chef Farah Dilip appeared dressed as Vasooli Bhai, the unforgettable character played by Mukesh Tiwari in ‘Golmaal’.

Murali and Ashwini’s home in Mumbai is spacious and follows every theme. From the walls and ceiling to the curtains, every element has a muted tone, paired with purple furniture. Their love of books was also evident, with an entire shelf in one room dedicated to the large group. While visiting the same venue, Ashwini showed off her makeup corner, mentioning that she does her own film roles. “Artists should be like him. People pay Rs 1 lakh to artists. Learn something, we save a lot of money,” said Farah.
Under the Mandir, a tour of the kitchen and lunch together
Ashwini also showed off the floor next to her mandir, which she made herself using real flowers. When the vlog was finished, the family took Farah to their bedroom and into the kitchen. The kitchen, too, was airy, with white finished cabinets and countertops. After the Andhra-style baingan chutney was ready, Farah presented the couple with gifts, and then the group sat down to have lunch together.
