Farah Khan recalls close friend predicting her marriage with Shirish Kunder would fail: ‘That was quite b****y’

“How do you deal when they talk about your relationship? Because I have also been through it,” Malaika asked her on the show. She added, “You are also married to a younger man. You have faced your fair share of ‘what is she thinking?’ and that typical ‘older woman syndrome’.” Farah recalled what she had heard about a friend of hers saying when she was getting married to Shirish. She said, “One friend of mine when I was getting married, someone asked him, ‘Are you attending Farah’s wedding?’ He said, ‘No. But I’ll attend the second one’. I thought that was quite b****y.”

Malaika concurred. She said, “It’s not been easy, and I face a lot of it on daily basis, this old thing about older women. A man on the other hand dating 20-year-old, 30-year-old woman is applauded. He’s made to feel that he is the king of the world… A lot of it I’ve also got from my own near and dear ones. Forget the outer circle because at the end of the day they are just privy to a ringside view.”

Malaika was married to actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan from 1998 to 2017. They have one son together, Arhaan. Farah and Shirish tied the knot in 2004. They have three children — son Czar and daughters Diva and Anya.
