Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan has publicly called out digital news portals for circulating a video that falsely claimed a fire broke out at her Mumbai residence. Clarifying that the incident occurred at a neighbouring structure, the director urged digital platforms to act responsibly and verify details before publishing sensational stories that leave fans unnecessarily alarmed.
Farah Khan debunks fake fire reports
A video surfaced online on Sunday depicting a building engulfed in flames, with several digital portals alleging that the blaze had erupted at Farah Khan's home.
Taking to her Instagram stories, the filmmaker re-shared the viral video to set the record straight. Clarifying that the fire had actually broken out in an under-construction building nearby, she slammed the misleading coverage.
"Online portals plss BE RESPONSIBLE!! This is an under-construction building!! Clickbait can't be everything!" she wrote.
Farah resides at Oberoi Sky Heights in Lokhandwala, Mumbai. There have been no official reports of injuries or major property damage linked to her apartment in connection with the viral claims.
Inside Farah Khan’s Mumbai residence
The false rumours follow a recent glimpse into the director's Mumbai home. Farah recently revamped her bedroom after being nominated for a room makeover by her long-time friend and fellow filmmaker, Karan Johar.
The renovation involved replacing the old flooring with warm wooden floors and adding textured chocolate-brown and marble-effect walls, giving the space a sophisticated look while concealing damp patches. To enhance privacy and functionality, a separate wardrobe and vanity area were designed using floor-to-ceiling sliding panels equipped with fingerprint- and password-enabled locks.
Beyond her home updates, Farah has been actively dominating digital media through her YouTube channel, which she launched in 2024. The vlogs quickly gained massive popularity, largely driven by her entertaining chemistry with her cook, Dilip.
Their candid banter turned Dilip into an overnight social media sensation. Farah previously revealed that her YouTube revenue helped Dilip become entirely debt-free. His popularity has grown to the point where he now stars in commercial advertisements alongside A-list celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan. Together, Farah and Dilip continue to visit celebrity kitchens and share new recipes with millions of viewers across each vlog.
Farah Khan's upcoming films
In a recent appearance on a talk show with Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi, Farah opened up about what motivated her to explore content creation on YouTube.
She shared that after wrapping up the script for her next directorial feature, she found herself with free time before shooting commenced. While keen to try something new, she was determined to avoid starting a podcast.
Farah explained that the traditional film industry often fosters deep insecurity, forcing artists into constant comparisons with one another, and she intentionally chose to venture into a space free from that pressure.
