Filmmaker Farah Khan recently visited actor Neelam Kothari’s home along with her longtime cook, Dilip. During the visit, Farah, Neelam and actor Sameer Soni bonded over how similar their husbands are when it comes to social gatherings. The trio joked about how both Sameer and Farah’s husband, Shirish Kunder, have a habit of quietly walking out of parties, with Sameer even recalling the time Shirish skipped Farah’s birthday because it wasn’t a “milestone” celebration. As Farah toured Neelam’s home, she pointed to a seating area and jokingly asked, “You sit in this hall and Sameer in the other one?” Defending their arrangement, Neelam laughed, “Opposites attract.” Farah replied, “This is the best.” “We just cross paths,” Neelam added. Quipping about the similarities between the two men, Farah said, “The other version of Sameer is at my place,” referring to Shirish. Sameer laughed and responded, “I am aware of that.

Farah Khan credits husband Shirish for well-brought-up children: ‘He was their counsellor’ | Bollywood News

3 min readHyderabadJun 27, 2026 11:07 AM IST 22 years into her marriage with Shirish Kunder, Farah Khan says the romance hasn’t disappeared, it has simply been replaced by something more useful. Appearing on Shekhar Suman’s YouTube show, the filmmaker and choreographer spoke with candour about her marriage to director-editor Shirish Kunder, her late entry into motherhood, and how she now measures love in entirely different terms than she once did. Asked why the early intensity of romance tends to fade once a relationship is formalised through marriage, Farah offered a grounded take rooted in how needs shift over time. She explained that the things people chase hardest before marriage often lose their charm once they’re attained, and that her own appreciation for her husband has simply moved elsewhere. “I value Shirish in other things now. As a father, as a person who looks after the whole family,” she said, crediting him as the one steady presence holding their household together. That praise extended to how their three children have been raised. Farah Khan said …

‘I felt terrible’: Farah Khan breaks down over the only flop of her entire career | Bollywood News

3 min readMumbaiUpdated: Jun 26, 2026 09:22 PM IST Farah Khan has delivered several blockbuster films over the years, from her directorial debut Main Hoon Na to the much-loved Om Shanti Om and even otherwise largely middling Happy New Year. The only film in her directorial career that failed at the box office was Tees Maar Khan. Released 15 years ago, the film was heavily criticised by both audiences and critics at the time, but has since found a loyal fan following. ‘I was devastated’ Farah Khan recently looked back at the film’s failure and the emotional toll it took on her during a conversation with Shekhar Suman. She said, “Before Tees Maar Khan, I had no period of gloom. Everything I was doing was clicking. Tees Maar Khan was the only time when I so-called ‘failed.’ Now, of course, it has become a cult film.” Recalling how deeply the experience affected her, she added, “It was very painful, and yes, at that point I was devastated. I got up from my bed only after …

3 min readNew DelhiJun 17, 2026 11:35 AM IST During a promotional conversation for their film Bhooth Bangla on Netflix India’s YouTube channel, Farah Khan, Akshay Kumar, Priyadarshan and Rajpal Yadav indulged in some hilarious behind-the-scenes banter. The conversation began when Farah asked Priyadarshan if he ever gets angry on set. The veteran filmmaker replied, “I don’t. Mostly because I don’t like noise on my set.” Jumping into the discussion, Akshay pointed out that Farah is quite the opposite. “You get angry on set,” he told her. As he began explaining, Akshay paused mid-sentence, prompting Farah to tease him, “Were you going to say ‘worst’?” Laughing, Akshay clarified, “No, I mean… you aren’t even aware of what you’re saying yourself.” Farah immediately disagreed. “I always know what I say.” ‘She wanted to shoot Katrina’ Akshay, however, recalled a memorable incident involving Katrina Kaif. “You were mad at Katrina once. You actually said, ‘Where is my gun?’” The actor burst into laughter before adding, “Who says, ‘Where is my gun?’ She never had a gun! She …

After making her directorial debut with Main Hoon Na and following it up with the blockbuster Om Shanti Om, Farah Khan teamed up with Akshay Kumar for her third feature film, Tees Maar Khan.

Over the years, however, the film has found a loyal fan base and evolved into a cult favourite. Now, adding another fascinating chapter to the film’s legacy, Farah has revealed that Akshay Kumar used to commute to the set by helicopter every single day—and still managed to be the most punctual person on set.

4 min readNew DelhiMay 29, 2026 06:17 PM IST Farah Khan is regarded as one of Bollywood’s most successful choreographers and filmmakers today, but her childhood was marked by immense struggle after her father lost everything backing a film that bombed at the box office. During a recent visit to actress Tanisha Mukerji’s home — cousin of filmmaker Ayan Mukerji — Farah recalled how actor Deb Mukherjee unknowingly became linked to one of the toughest phases of her life.

The movie bombed on Friday, and by Monday we had become poor because, in those days, producers invested everything they had,” she shared.

Farah Khan’s family once owned Mumbai’s Khar-Danda area before donating it; she recalls growing up ‘a pauper’ | Bollywood News

3 min readNew DelhiMay 4, 2026 04:21 PM IST We have all heard stories about Farah Khan—born into a film family, yet far removed from its glamour until she carved her own path in the industry. Despite being the daughter of Meneka Irani (sister of Daisy Irani and Honey Irani), and filmmaker Kamran Khan, Farah grew up in poverty after her father gambled away his earnings, home, and property on the 1971 film Aisa Bhi Hota Hai. Within a single weekend of its release, the family was pushed into severe financial debt. What’s lesser known is that even before this downfall, Farah’s grandfather, Aman Gul Pathan, once owned vast property in Khar West. However, he donated the entire estate to a mosque. After his passing, the land was gradually encroached upon, leaving the family with no ownership. Farah recently visited composer Ismail Darbar, who shares a warm bond with her despite not meeting often. Crediting her upbringing and grandparents—whom he had once met—he praised her as one of the nicest people he knows. During their …
