Farah Khan calls Diana Penty's house ‘Buckingham Palace’, compares it with Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat

Farah Khan recently visited actor Diana Penty’s 100-year-old ancestral home in South Bombay, Mumbai, for a vlog and was deeply impressed. Before entering the large mansion, she quipped to her cook, Dileep, that it was Buckingham Palace. Upon meeting the Bollywood actress, Khan humorously introduced her to Dileep as “Lady Diana”.

The filmmaker was seen marvelling at the colonial-style interiors, antique furniture and vintage charm. She said it felt like travelling back in time.

Diana’s mother, Noreen, revealed that some pieces of the furniture, including a carved wooden table, were over a century old.

Farah Khan joked that she felt good that at least some things were still “older than her”. She was impressed by being in a home that carried such history.

Diana mentioned that her family had been staying in the home for four generations. Farah said the house felt nothing like Mumbai.

“In Lakhadwala, even dance studios are not as big as this. This is as large as the hall in Mannat. I think you have to call Shah Rukh over here,” Khan said while referring to SRK’s iconic house in Bandra (West).

“I’d love to have Shah Rukh come to my house,” Penty exclaimed.

Diana Penty's birthday

Interestingly, both Shah Rukh Khan and Diana Penty share the same birthday, November 2. While SRK was born in 1965, the Bollywood actress was born 20 years later, in 1985. In a few days, she will turn 40.

Diana Penty's parents and partner

Diana Penty's father is a Parsi while her mother is a Konkani Christian. She has been romantically involved with Harsh Sagar for 12 years. She earlier revealed that they had known each other for 22 years.

“I'm not married. But, in my head, I'm married,” she told Hauterrfly.
