Bollywood filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan is known for being candid about her personal and professional life. The YouTube star recently opened up about what pushed her to focus on her overall well-being after turning 50. During her appearance on Soha Ali Khan’s podcast, Farah recalled being overweight and dealing with bad skin.
Farah Khan’s Husband Sirish Kunder Was Mistaken For Her Son
She said, “I used to not even go for a blow-dry because I used to work non-stop, sometimes day shift and night shift together. But after I hit 50, I realised jab gaadi puraani ho jaati hai toh uska servicing zyada hota hai, toh usko garage mein bhejo (When the car gets old, it needs more servicing, so send it to the garage). So now I visit a skin doctor and regularly take hair vitamins, because you have to. My kids were very young when I turned 50, so I thought they shouldn’t feel like their grandmother had come to drop them at school. Kids also keep us young.”
Farah then recalled, “Once we had taken the kids on holiday, and I was literally overweight, and a lady came. Shirish was there, and she said, ‘Can I clean your room? Can you ask your son (Shirish) to leave?’ And Shirish just laughed. He went and told the kids, ‘They thought I was your brother.’ So I realised that after 50, I have to look after myself, and it took me seven years to lose weight.”
