Happy Birthday to the choreographer-director Farah Khan!
As she turned 56 today, here’s a little-known funny incident about Farah and her long-time buddy Karan Johar.
BFFs of Bollywood Farah & Karan have been friends for more than two-and-a-half decades now.
Did you know that Farah Khan once proposed to Karan Johar for marriage?
Earlier on a chat show ‘Yaaron Ki Baraat’, hosted by Riteish Deshmukh & Farah’s brother Sajid Khan, KJo revealed that Farah was once interested in him and even landed up at his hotel and proposed to him.
Spilling the beans on her proposal, Karan said, “Bahaut koshish ki thi mere saath (she pursued me a lot).”
The ‘Student of the Year’ director further revealed, “Though yeh shaadi-shuda hai aur main kehna nahi chahta, Farah ne bohot koshish ki thi mere saath (Though she is married now and I don’t want to say this, Farah pursued me a lot),” to which, Farah Khan admitted that it’s true.
Karan then shared a story from the shooting days of ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hain’. While shooting in Scotland, Karan claimed that Farah landed up at his hotel room in the middle of the night.
He said, “Beech raat ko, ek ladki jab kisi ladke ke kamre mein aa jaati hai yeh bahana leke ki mere kamre mein bhoot hai… Main kya jo bhoot se rhyme karta hai woh hoon (In the middle of the night, when a girl comes to a boy’s room claiming that there is a ghost in her room… Am I an idiot to fall for it)?”
Farah then revealed about her marriage proposal to Karan, which he rejected. “There was a technical problem,” Karan laughed, adding, “Television ka tower bhi chalna chahiye, so I said iss TV ko off hi kar do. That is why maine bol diya no (The television tower needs to work as well, so I said let’s just turn off this TV. That is why I said no).”
Farah is now married to Shirish Kunder and has three children– Diva, Anya, and Czar.
