Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi has been making waves with his stint in Dhurandhar, where he played a Pakistani politician, Jameel Jamali, birthing a massive meme trend on social media. Amid the ongoing buzz, filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan visited the actor's Mumbai residence, providing glimpses of his personal space.
In a video shared on her YouTube channel, Farah arrived at his home with her cook and now an internet sensation, Dilip, who was dressed as Ranveer Singh's character Hamza Ali Mazari. The home tour begins with the entrance door adorned with showpieces, plants, and a nameplate.
Living space featuring Buddha-themed artwork
The entrance opens into the spacious living room, which stands out for its warm, lived-in charm. Wooden armchairs with tropical upholstery, two glass-top centre tables on either side, Buddha-themed artwork, leafy wallpaper, hanging plants, and large windows lend the room character. The décor balances traditional touches with modern minimalism.
The kitchen carries the same inviting feel, featuring wooden cabinetry and vintage-inspired details. A refrigerator covered with magnets collected from different countries, reflecting the family’s travels and memories over the years.
Rakesh Bedi's personal den
Another highlight is Bedi’s private “den” or chilling room, where one corner is lined from floor to ceiling with books. Portraits made by fans over the years decorate the walls, while a dedicated shelf displays the awards he has received throughout his long career.
The room also includes framed memorabilia and hilarious Dhurandhar references that celebrate his latest successful project.
Experts on sentimental objects and Buddha statues
According to Dr Murali Krishna, sentimental objects often become emotional anchors for people who have spent years in demanding professions. He explained that photographs, souvenirs and keepsakes can help create a sense of stability by reminding individuals of their personal identity beyond work.
"The objects serve as silent sources of strength and sentimental value and emotional control for people, which help them create a space of comfort and belonging in their home," he said.
Dr Krishna also explained that plants placed near entrances can have a calming psychological effect. He said they help create a gentle transition between the outside world and the home, offering a sense of peace, order, and emotional safety while symbolising growth and positivity in many cultures.
Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi recently offered a glimpse into his Mumbai residence, a home that beautifully balances his four-decade-long career in entertainment with a serene, lived-in atmosphere.
Farah Khan’s recent home tour revealed a space that prioritizes comfort and personal storytelling over typical celebrity opulence. Here are the highlights of his residence:
The Personal Den: A Tribute to "Jameel Jamali"
The most talked-about corner of the house is Bedi’s private "den"—a cozy room with warm pink walls where he unwinds and reflects on his career.
The Dhurandhar Meme Board: Celebrating his massive resurgence as the cunning politician Jameel Jamali in the Dhurandhar franchise, the room features a dedicated meme board titled “Mera Bachcha, Brands Ka Dhurandhar.” It showcases various brand collaborations and viral memes sparked by his iconic dialogue, "Tu bachcha hai mera."
Memorabilia & Awards: One corner is lined from floor to ceiling with books, while a dedicated shelf displays the numerous awards he has received. The walls are adorned with framed fan-made sketches and portraits of his most famous characters from shows like Shrimaan Shrimati and Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi.
The Living Space: Serenity & Spirituality
The main living area is designed with a "modern minimalist" aesthetic, featuring beige and cream tones that create a calm environment.
Buddha-Themed Artwork: A significant feature of the living room is the serene Buddha-themed artwork and statues. These pieces are intended to foster a sense of mindfulness and inner balance amidst a busy professional life.
Natural Elements: The room is filled with character through tropical-upholstery wooden armchairs, leafy wallpaper, and a variety of hanging plants. Large windows allow for ample natural light, enhancing the "warm, lived-in" feel.
Other Unique Features
Travel-Inspired Kitchen: The kitchen features vintage-inspired wooden cabinetry and a refrigerator completely covered in magnets collected from different countries, serving as a visual map of the family's travels over the years.
Sentimental Anchors: Throughout the home, small showpieces and traditional motifs act as "emotional anchors," creating a space of comfort and belonging that reflects Bedi's personal identity beyond his public persona.
Note: The home was recently showcased on Farah Khan’s YouTube segment, Fun (Food) With Farah, where Bedi shared stories of his early career struggles, including working on the film Saath Saath without receiving a single penny—even for his own food.
