‘I felt terrible’: Farah Khan breaks down over the only flop of her entire career

She further said, “Luckily, there was no social media back then. There was only Twitter, and the trolling I faced there was on another level. I felt terrible because everything eventually gets back to you. There’s always one well-meaning friend who comes and tells you, ‘This person said this,’ or ‘That person said that.’ I kept thinking, ‘I’ve worked with all these people. Why is this person tearing my film apart?'”

‘It wasn’t a good phase for me’

Earlier this year, during an appearance on The Ranveer Show, Farah Khan had also spoken about how Tees Maar Khan marked the darkest phase of her career. “It puts you on the backfoot for very long. You get over it, bounce back, and go to work, but in your mind, you’re always on the backfoot. You don’t have self-doubt, but people try to push you towards that. Even when your film becomes a hit, people may make you feel you can do anything. But you have to question that as well. They’d blindly do whatever you want them to do because they feel you know everything. Career-wise, it wasn’t a good phase for me.”

She also revealed that many people in the film industry seemed “happy” because she had experienced failure for the first time in her life. Fortunately, her personal life provided stability during that difficult period, as she and her husband, editor Shirish Kunder, welcomed their triplets.
