The masters of many arts, Farhan Akhtar is undoubtedly one of the best actors, filmmakers, producers, singers, and television hosts of this generation. But one can imagine the gigantic pressure on his shoulders when he was assisting the late legendary filmmaker, Yash Chopra in Lamhe back in 1991. The weight of expectations on this young, quirky kid was so massive. The biggest reason was that he was the grandson of late iconic Indian poet, Jan Nisar Akhtar, son of India's first screenwriter, Javed Akhtar and iconic actress, Honey Irani. All eyes were on Farhan Akhtar and doubters were also there to wait for his fall. Still, the multi-talented genius had worked hard and created a genre that is all about bringing the best cinema to the Indian audience. In 1999 he had established his production company, Excel Entertainment with his close friend, Ritesh Sidhwani and in just two years, he had made his directorial debut with the film, Dil Chahta Hai in 2001. The film is still regarded as one of the most iconic films of all-time.

Since then, there's no looking back for Farhan Akhtar, as he had gone on to direct some fabulous movies, mesmerised audience with his acting skills, sung some much-needed electric tracks, and ruled the television industry with his charm. Other than his illustrious professional life, the actor has a roller-coaster-like personal life as he had experienced a lot of ups and downs in his marriage and relationships. For the uninitiated, Farhan Akhtar had gotten married to famous hairstylist, Adhuna Bhabani in 2000 and after 16 years of their marital life, the couple had parted their ways on January 21, 2016, when they had announced that court had granted them divorce. After this, Farhan had found love again in his life, when he had met Shibani Dandekar for the first time on the sets of his show, I Can Do That, and the rest is history. As for now, both Farhan and Shibani are living together in his Bandstand bungalow, Vipassana. The luxurious house is situated quite close to Farhan's great friend and Bollywood's King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan's Mannat. According to Architectural Digest, the Don director had purchased this 10,000 sqft dream house back in 2009 for Rs 35 Crore. According to multiple reports, the current price of Vipassana in the year 2021 will be around approximately Rs 40 - 50 Crore without a doubt. Now, without a further due, let's take a quick tour of his dream mansion!

Thus, it's easy to suspect that he holds immense love for an open sky like every writer in this world, as sitting at the corner of your window and having a pen in your hands with a cup of tea/coffee is simply every writer's favourite place. There are many small and big sliding windows in Farhan's house that tell us about his love for an open sky and fresh air. Also, not many people know that he is also big fond of astronomy and has a telescope in his home to see the planets and other celestial bodies.

There's no doubt that Farhan Akhtar's home, Vipassana is a dream home and a merely an epitome of his self and character. It's hard to name any other celebrity, whose house depicts the kind of person they're because most of them are plated with royalty and luxury. But in the case of Farhan, we have seen different versions of him existing all at the same time under one roof. From seeing his exciting man cave to getting mesmerised by his dining hall, we couldn't stop ourselves from falling in love with the entire house's artistic theme.
