Farha Khan

What would Bollywood be without its Munni, Sheila or Anarkali? Ask any Bollywood fan, and the response would be-unimaginable! That is exactly what Indian films would have been like if ace director and choreographer Farah Khan hadn’t made her mark in the industry. On seeing numerous young mothers who were married off at the age of 16 and above at the auditions of DID Super Moms, Farah was taken back to her younger days. She spoke at length about how her parents were instrumental in her pursuing a career in Bollywood. Farah shares, “Had it not been for my parents, I would have definitely gotten married at the age of 21. At that time, most of my friends were getting married once we were barely out of college. I too, had planned on getting married after turning 21, but it was my parents who asked me to concentrate on my career. They went on to stress the importance of a woman having a life of her own besides her family. Seeing these young mothers makes me think that had I not gotten into Bollywood, I too would have been happily married and had kids by the time I was in my twenties.”
