Farah Khan recently turned a casual cooking vlog into a window to her past opening-up about the challenges her family faced while growing up. Joined by actress Tanishaa Mukerji and Farah’s cook Dilip, the choreographer-director mixed humor with honesty as she recalled moments that shaped her childhood. One of the highlights was a playful anecdote about filmmaker Ayan Mukerji’s father, veteran actor Deb Mukherjee. Farah quipped, “I always tell Ayan Mukerji that because of his dad, ‘hum gareeb hue the’. Because my dad made his first big color film with Deb Mukherjee in the lead role and it bombed at the box office on Friday, and on Monday, we became poor.” She explained how filmmaking in those days carried immense personal risk with producers often investing their own savings rather than relying on studios. The film she referred to was ‘Aisa Bhi Hota Hai’ released in 1971 by her father Kamran Khan featuring Deb Mukherjee, Nandita Bose, Tun Tun and Jalal Agha.
