Recalling the first time when she went on a house hunt with her mother and how she found her perfect home, Balan said that around 15 years ago, she was searching for a place in Bandra or Juhu, which would be preferable for her work. But it was out of her budget. 

However, her mother encouraged her to buy the home and arrange EMI's for the same. 

“When I walked into the house, it felt like my home,” Balan said. 

However, the actress again went on a house hunt after her marriage to Siddharth. But this time, the couple settled on a rented property.

She said, “We looked at around 25 houses but couldn’t agree on any.”

Tired of finding homes, the couple loved a rental property and eventually decided to move in.

Explaining why she decided to live in a rented home, the actress said that the property was a rare find with a sea view and a garden. All the things worked well for the couple and the landlord is happy “earning a fat cheque” from the deal, she joked. 

On the work front, Vidya will next be seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 alongside Kartik Aaryan. She will reprise her role as Manjulika from the first film of the franchise. The movie will hit the theatres on Diwali.
