Why did Manish stop talking to Farah?

When Farah asked Manish to say something about her, he agreed and began, “Farah, the choreographer and the director are two different people. Farah, the choreographer, is used to really comment, ‘Ye kya he? Aey ye kaise he?’ ‘Ye costume kaisa he? (What is this? Is it a costume?)’ One day, I got upset and I walked out of the set. Because there was this Juhi Chawla song- Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, and she was like, ‘This grey kurta is not moving!’ I was like, ‘You are always commenting!’”

When Manish brought up another example, from the shoot of Fevicol Se (starring Kareena Kapoor), Farah said, “I remember he got very angry with me, and did not pick up my call for two days!”

How is Farah as a director?

Manish laughed and went on to add that as a director, Farah becomes a different person. ‘Woh itni achchi ho jaati he ki jo ap bolo ki achcha aise karenge… you become another person (She becomes extremely nice and says yes to suggestions and what not)!” Farah says that is because she is the happiest when she directs.

Farah has choreographed multiple songs, in which Manish’s designs were used. As a director, Farah has directed Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om, and Happy New Year.
