Pratik Gandhi talks about his dream homeDuring the conversation with Free Press Journal, Pratik opened up about purchasing his new home in Juhu, revealing that it fulfilled a long-cherished wish of owning a house with open space and a traditional swing. Sharing his excitement, the actor said, "Itne saalon se aisa ghar chahiye tha jahan jhula laga sakun aur thodi khuli jagah ho." (For so many years, I had dreamed of owning a home where I could have a swing and a little open space)

Impressed by his achievement, Farah congratulated him on buying a home in one of Mumbai's most sought-after neighbourhoods.

Farah's joke steals the showThe conversation soon turned into a comic moment when Farah compared Pratik's address with Karan Johar's office location. She joked, "Ye wo wala Juhu nahi hai, jaise Karan Johar ka office Andheri mein hai Lokhandwala ke paas but he says, 'No, it's Upper Juhu.'" (This isn't that kind of Juhu. It's like Karan Johar's office, which is actually in Andheri near Lokhandwala, but he says, 'No, it's Upper Juhu)

Continuing the banter, she added, "Wo Upper Juhu nahi hai, this is proper Juhu." (That's not Upper Juhu. This is the real Juhu) Pratik Gandhi couldn't hold back his laughter as Farah delivered the punchline in her signature style.

Why Karan Johar's office shiftedKaran Johar's production banner, Dharma Productions , relocated its headquarters from Bandra to Andheri West in 2016 after outgrowing its previous office space.

At the time, Karan had explained that the move was purely practical, saying the team required a much larger workplace and finding a similarly spacious property in Bandra would have been significantly more expensive.

A friendship built on playful banterFarah Khan and Karan Johar have shared a close friendship for years and are known for frequently poking fun at each other in public without taking offence.
