She delivered two consecutive blockbusters in Main Hoon Na (2004) and Om Shanti Om (2007), both starring Shah Rukh Khan. But just three years later came her directorial career’s biggest setback yet, Tees Maar Khan, in 2010. Though the Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif-starrer earned around Rs 84 crore at the domestic box office, it was widely panned and couldn’t recreate the impact of her previous directorials. Farah still considers the aftermath of that film as her career’s “darkest phase” yet. “It puts you on the backfoot for very long. You get over it, bounce back, and go to work, but in your mind, you’re always on the backfoot. You don’t have self-doubt, but people try to push you towards that. Even when your film becomes a hit, people may make you feel you can do anything. But you have to question that as well. …
