Neelam Kothari and husband Sameer Soni’s Mumbai home features a striking all-white exterior, warm pastel interiors, a London-inspired entertainment room, a dedicated bar, a cosy tea corner and plenty of indoor greenery

Neelam Kothari, born in Hong Kong, entered the Indian film industry at the age of 15 and made her acting debut with Jawaani a year later. She went on to feature in films including Ilzaam, Parampara and Hum Saath-Saath Hain, among others. In recent years, she has gained wider recognition through the reality series Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, alongside Maheep Kapoor, Seema Sajdeh and Bhavana Pandey.

In a recent episode of Food With Farah, Neelam and her husband, actor Sameer Soni, welcomed filmmaker Farah Khan into their home. While the episode featured conversations about their careers and reality television, it also offered viewers a glimpse of the couple's spacious residence.

Farah Khan reacts to Neelam Kothari's 'huge' home

Neelam and Sameer's home features an all-white exterior. Inside, soft yellow lighting and pastel-toned walls give the space a warm and understated look.


As Farah entered the house, she was taken aback by its size. "Neelu, your house is so huge. I want to tell you that this house is huge, and it's beautiful," she said.

Neelam, however, responded with a laugh, "This is beautiful but thoda chhota hai [It is beautiful, but it is slightly small]."

Inside the living room and sit-out area

The living room follows an open-plan layout, connecting the drawing and dining areas. The drawing room features a beige sofa, a brown accent chair and another sofa placed against the opposite wall. Wooden furniture and muted tones lend the space a warm, understated aesthetic.

The living area opens into a sit-out space furnished with white and grey seating, complemented by grey and pink cushions. A sleek brown table completes the setting. Neelam revealed that this is her favourite spot in the house to enjoy tea.

Entertainment room with 'London vibes'

Neelam also showed Farah an entertainment room that was created by converting one of the bedrooms. The cosy space features dark wooden panels, a Chesterfield sofa, a blue couch, a centre table and paintings on the walls.

The room is designed as a comfortable space for watching movies and binge-watching series. While taking a look around, Farah remarked, "London ka feel aa rha mereko [This is giving London vibes]."

Dedicated bar area and indoor greenery

The residence also has a dedicated bar area, featuring modern chairs and a wooden countertop that adds a rustic touch to the space. The bar provides an informal setting for entertaining guests.

Neelam has also incorporated several indoor plants into the interiors, adding greenery to the home's otherwise muted colour palette.

Gift exchange and meal conclude the visit

The episode ended with Farah and Neelam exchanging gifts before sitting down for a meal. During the visit, Neelam also credited Farah as an inspiration behind starting her own channel. Farah, in turn, wished her continued success.
