Choreographer-turned-filmmaker Farah Khan Kunder has a close-knit friend circle in Bollywood and filmmaker Karan Johar is one of her closest friends. In a candid chat with Maniesh Paul, Farah revealed she always steps out of Karan’s star-studded parties in the end.
On Maniesh Paul’s podcast, Farah said that she once heard that anyone who leaves Karan’s parties early, becomes the subject of gossip. So, she decided she would never leave his parties early and once even changed her way to go back to Karan’s party from the backdoor and put this theory to test.
“I have learnt this now. Earlier I used to exit early and later I got to know that everyone starts bi****** about the one who leaves first,” said Farah.
Recalling one such incident, the Main Hoon Naa director shared, “Once I had left and then I crept from the back door and through the balcony I was listening but unfortunately they were not talking about me. So I told Karan that ‘I won’t leave first because the moment I step out of the door, you will start, ‘See what she was wearing and all..'”.
But everything said and done, Farah dotes on his fellow filmmaker-friend and praises his ability to take the pressure of being in the limelight.
“Karan is too funny. His sense of humour is outstanding. He cracks jokes on himself too and that is the best part. I have learnt from him. Uski jitni trolling hoti hai and the way he handles it is just amazing,” said Farah.
She added, “It’s very difficult. He is a very successful person in our industry and to take that kind of trolling every day and just ignore it…Now I feel he has started enjoying it…”
Karan Johar’s latest directorial Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani released in July. The film, starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, marked his 25 years in Bollywood and became a huge hit. His next film is going to be an action drama, a first for the filmmaker, who is known for directing and mostly producing romantic films or family entertainers.
