Nitin Gadkari tells Farah Khan that Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh lived near his house

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari tells Farah Khan about his high-profile neighbours, Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh, and shares a peacock-feeding anecdote.

"Sonia Gandhi lives here. Manmohan Singh used to live here. We used to come to her house. I fed her peacocks. - Nitin Gadkari"

Mumbai, Jan 2

Director-choreographer Farah Khan recently paid a visit to the house of Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways.

The two spoke about Nitin's achievement with regards to his YouTube channel with Farah saying that she has already got the silver play button from YouTube, and is looking forward to lay her hands on the gold play button like the politician.

During the episode, the minister also revealed that Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and the former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh have been his neighbours, and he often feeds the peacocks that land on his residence from Sonia Gandhi's residence.

Showing the accommodation facilities of both MMS and Sonia Gandhi, Nitin said, "Sonia Gandhi lives here. Manmohan Singh used to live here. We used to come to her house. I fed her peacocks".

Earlier, Farah visited Kunickaa Sadanand's home as part of her YouTube series, where she explores celebrity houses, films light-hearted cooking segments, and indulges in candid conversations and gossip with her guests. During her visit, she revealed that she has become less of a control freak at home.

Farah shared that after years of managing every detail on set, she now consciously lets her family make their own decisions. She shared that she focuses on maintaining balance and reducing stress in her personal life. Revealing that she has become less of a control freak at home, Farah said that she used to be that way earlier, but has now cut back. She explained that being on set creates a habit of controlling everything, so at home she prefers to let go. The director added that she feels her family is now grown up enough to take their own decisions and even make their own mistakes.

She also admitted that she can no longer take unnecessary stress, as it only leaves one exhausted and stressed for life.

Farah Khan made this revelation after Kunickaa shared that she broke down in tears when the filmmaker had reprimanded her for her behavior on 'Bigg Boss 19' and even called her a "control freak".

Interesting to know about the YouTube play button goals! Gadkari ji is quite active and modern in his outreach. But honestly, the real story is the Lutyens' Delhi neighbor dynamics. Imagine the conversations those walls have heard!

Farah Khan's point about letting go of control at home really hit home. As Indians, we're often raised to manage everything for our families. It's a healthy lesson to learn to step back. More power to her for that self-awareness.

While the personal anecdotes are charming, I can't help but feel these light-hearted shows sometimes gloss over more substantive discussions we could be having with our ministers. A bit of fun is good, but balance is key.

Peacocks from Sonia Gandhi's house coming over for food... only in India! 🦚 This is the kind of normal, apolitical neighborly behavior we need to hear more about. Politics aside, we're all people sharing spaces.

Farah's YouTube series is such a fun concept. Getting a peek into the homes of celebrities and politicians makes them more relatable. Also, good for her for prioritizing mental peace and letting her family be. That's a tough lesson to learn!
