While she fondly remembered her bond with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, she admitted that she never became very close to Aamir Khan. “Salman had come before Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir is someone I am least close to because he was already a star when I worked on Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar,” Farah said, adding, “He would teach me the basics on the film set. But somehow, I never became close to him.” Speaking about Salman Khan, Farah Khan revealed that she has known the actor since childhood. She …

Farah Khan tied the knot with filmmaker Shirish Kunder at the age of 39, while he was 31.

Everyone pretended like a stork had dropped the baby into their stomach. I don’t know why it was taboo. I was probably the first celebrity to talk about it openly, and after that, I realised how many IVF babies there actually were. It’s completely legal—why should it be a taboo?” …
