Bollywood filmmakers Karan Johar and Farah Khan share a great rapport, in fact, the two are the ultimate BFFs of Bollywood, and their never-ending social media banter is proof. But did you know that there was a time when Farah Khan had a soft spot for KJo and she was quite vocal about it? No, we aren’t cooking any story! Long back, on the chat show Yaaron Ki Baaraat, the duo had spilled the beans on how Farah Khan was interested in Karan, so much so, that she even landed in his hotel and proposed marriage to him.
The Kalank producer revealed how Farah had long back expressed her interest in him. On the show, Karan had said, “Though yeh shaadi-shuda hai aur main kehna nahi chahta, Farah ne bohot koshish ki thi mere saath (Though she is married now and I don’t want to say this, Farah pursued me a lot),” to which, Farah Khan admitted that it’s true. Karan then shared a story from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai days while the crew was shooting for its title track in Scotland. He had went onto claim how Farah once came knocking at his door while he was innocently sleeping in his hotel room.
Karan added, “Beech raat ko, ek ladki jab kisi ladke ke kamre mein aa jaati hai yeh bahana leke ki mere kamre mein bhoot hai... Main kya jo bhoot se rhyme karta hai woh hoon (In the middle of the night, when a girl comes to a boy’s room claiming that there is a ghost in her room… Am I an idiot to fall for it)?”
Further, Farah confessed proposing marriage to KJo; however, refused Farah by citing that there was a ‘technical problem’. To this, Karan added, “Television ka tower bhi chalna chahiye, so I said iss TV ko off hi kar do. That is why maine bol diya no (The television tower needs to work as well, so I said let’s just turn off this TV. That is why I said no).” Sad!
Well, fast forward to now, Farah is happily married to Shirish Kunder and is blessed with beautiful triplets. Karan, on the other hand, is father to twins named Yash and Roohi.
