Farah Khan on Shirish Kunder
While appearing on Archana Puran Singh’s YouTube channel recently, Farah was asked about her equation with Shirish and how their romance began. In her typical no-filter style, Farah responded, “I used to hate him. For six months, I thought he was gay.” When Archana asked if she still hated Shirish, Farah replied, “No. Now, I am used to him. It’s been 20 years now. Earlier, he used to get angry. And when he did, it was very annoying because he would just keep quiet and torture you by not talking.”
Farah and Shirish met in the early 2000s. He edited her directorial debut, Main Hoon Na. They have since worked together on each other’s films, such as Jaan-E-Mann, Om Shanti Om, and Tees Maar Khan. The couple has three children—one son and two daughters—born in 2008.
