Diana explained, \u201cIt\u2019s been here since I was a child. Someone gave it to my grandfather or great-grandfather. I heard it might have come from a World War II ship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The home\u2019s spaciousness<\/strong> also impressed Farah. She joked that even a dance studio in Lokhandwala isn\u2019t as big, and compared it to Shah Rukh Khan\u2019s Mannat living room<\/strong>. Diana laughed and said, \u201cI guess I am lucky.\u201d Farah concluded with a playful suggestion: \u201cI think I should call Shah Rukh here.\u201d Diana replied warmly, \u201cI would love to have Shah Rukh here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The visit, filmed for Farah\u2019s vlog, gave fans a rare inside look at Diana Penty\u2019s heritage home<\/strong>, showcasing a mix of Mumbai history, colonial design, and timeless family elegance<\/strong>.
