I don't have sex: Farah

farah_khan1


This season of Karan Johar’s show Koffee With Karan is throwing up one shocker after another.
The latest to grab the attention is a remark by director Farah Khan. While appearing on a director’s special show that also had Imtiaz Ali and Rajkumar Hirani as guests, Farah was her candid best.
When Karan Johar asked her to describe her sex life in two words, guess what Farah said: “Non Existent”.
She went on to add: “Between my three kids and the making of Tees Maar Khan, that’s been the case.” A moment later she began to laugh and clarified: “I was just joking.”
Farah is married to Shirish Kunder who edited her film Main Hoon Na.
She gave birth to triplets in February 2008. Since then she’s been busy taking care of her three kids. For the good part of this year, she’s been busy with Tees Maar Khan, her next directorial venture.

Akshaye Khanna plays an important role in Tees Maar Khan not a cameo role: Farah Khan

farah-khan1


While Akshaye Khanna is telling everyone who’ll listen to him that his role in the upcoming film, Tees Maar Khan, is only a special appearance and that Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif are the real stars, the director of the film, Farah Khan, begs to differ.

“I am aware about Akshaye stating that he is doing just a special appearance in the film. But for a film which was completed in around 55 days, he has shot for 21. Now tell me, how is it a special appearance?” she asks, adding, “Akshaye doesn’t realise it yet, but he is the second most important character in the script.”

In the film, Khanna plays a superstar who is on the hunt for a Hollywood award. His dream comes closer to realisation when a series of events lead to his biggest acting assignment ever.

“Trust me when I say this: Akshaye is the maddest of them all in the film. He is truly the surprise element,” says Farah in support of the actor who has always labelled himself the underdog. “I have told him that I will do taandav on his head when he gets all the rave reviews for the film.”

We will know how good his performance is when the film releases. There is no denying that he does have a few good ones - performances that is, to his credit.


But it seems more like Akshaye Khanna has a major chip on his shoulder about being talented and yet always having to play roles second to the lead.

Farah Khan is all set to take a break from work.


Farah maybe a superwoman, multitasking with her various assignments - directing a movie and judging reality shows. But Farah Khan is all set to take a break from work.
The director wants to concentrate on her three kids and family after her Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif starrer Tees Maar Khan hits the theatres.
Our source said, “Farah will take a six-month break from direction after Tees Maar Khan releases. Hectic schedules have kept her away from her family and she plans to make up for it during this break. She misses being with her kids. At times, the triplets would accompany Farah to the sets too, but it is not the same as being at home. She wants to spend quality time at home with her children.”
During this break, Farah also will help hubby Shirish Kunder with his films - Joker - with Akshay,” said our source.

When contacted Farah Khan confirmed saying, “I am taking a break once Tees Maar Khan releases. People have been asking me what my next project will be and my answer is nothing. I am going to take a break for six months.”

My show starts with Salman, ends with Shah Rukh: Farah Khan


New Delhi, Bollywood choreographer-director Farah Khan says it was a conscious decision to start her new television chat show with actor Salman Khan and his mother Salma, who has never given an interview before. And interestingly, the “Tere Mere Beach Mein” series ends with none other than Shah Rukh Khan.

“It was a joint decision taken by the channel and me. They felt that the episode turned out to be very candid and since Salman has never come on a chat show before, it could be a nice way to hook on the audience to the show. So we start with Salman and end it with Shah Rukh,” Farah told IANS.

She said it wasn’t difficult at all to convince Salman and his mother to be her first guests on the show that starts Sunday on STAR Plus.

“Salman has never come on a chat show – neither ‘Koffee With Karan’ nor ‘Oye! It’s Friday’ and not even ‘Rendezvous with Simi Garewal’. It’s for the first time he’s come on a chat show. His mother has never in her life come on a TV show or even given a print interview. And I just had to tell them once. It was very easy to convince them to come,” said Farah.

The filmmaker managed to get several celebrities on her debut chat show but couldn’t get her dream guests – former railway minister Lalu Prasad and singer-actor Himesh Reshammiya.

“I really wanted to get Lalu-ji and Himesh together for my show. But he (Lalu) had a cataract operation and so things couldn’t work out. But I really hope these two people come to my show, if I have a second season,” said Farah.

To give her chat show a twist, Farah has a separate theme for each episode. She brought Salman to talk about being a ‘Mamma’s boy’ and Shah Rukh Khan as a henpecked husband. She had Priyanka Chopra talk about her struggle as an actor.

Asked what the theme for the Lalu-Himesh episode would have been, she said: “I wanted to get them in a category of ‘I don’t care people’. And these two people are such that no matter how much people imitate them, ridicule them or mimic them, they just don’t care. They only do their work.”

Other guests on her show will include Hrithik Roshan, Asin Thottumkal, Deepika Padukone, Abhay Deol, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Kareena Kapoor and cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Irfan Pathan.
