Actress Tanishaa Mukerji has shown off her Mumbai home, which mixes old Bengali and Turkish design, during a tour she gave filmmaker Farah Khan earlier this year.

Highlights include a round staircase, antique decor, wooden furniture, two red sofas set against earthy brown and beige tones, and a green terrace full of plants. Tanishaa said the furniture came from the home where she lived with her mother, actress Tanuja.

When Farah asked what her sister Kajol had contributed, Tanishaa said Kajol paid for the house, then joked that Kajol had also covered the cheque books.

Farah Khan has recalled that Shah Rukh Khan never second-guessed her casting choices for Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om. Speaking on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi's Double Date, she said he did not object to Sushmita Sen joining Main Hoon Na when she was not yet a major name, and that when Farah wanted a newcomer for Om Shanti Om, he told her to go ahead after she showed him a photo. She contrasted this with today's actors, who she feels often want a say in choreography, music, direction and casting, a habit she links to a lack of self-belief.
