Farah Khan and Manish Malhotra recall funny set arguments, unplanned walkouts, and their decade-long Bollywood friendship in a new YouTube vlog.
Even though Farah Khan and Manish Malhotra are two of Bollywood’s most esteemed creative talents, their friendship soon devolves into loving teasing and flashbacks to their most dramatic scenes. The longstanding friends discussed their early conflicts, unannounced walkouts, and the kind of innovative arguments that only close industry collaborators can have in Farah’s most recent YouTube vlog.
Their Funniest Battles Resurrect
Farah encouraged Manish to talk about her past behavior on sets during the interview. Without hesitation, the designer disclosed that it was necessary to have thick skin when working with “Farah the choreographer.” He remembered how she would lose her temper on hectic set days, particularly when the costumes didn’t move as she had hoped.
He related a story from Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani in which she would exclaim, “Ye kya he? Aey ye kaise he? Is he wearing a costume?Manish continued, “There was this Juhi Chawla song… and she was like, ‘This grey kurta is not moving!’ I was like, ‘You are always commenting!’” The incessant criticism finally forced him to leave the set.

Farah’s Softer Side
Despite the intense recollections, Manish maintained that Farah completely changes when she is directing a movie. “Woh itni achchi ho jaati he ki jo ap bolo ki achcha aise karenge… you become another person!” he said, describing how her temperament becomes more relaxed and adaptable on a film set.”
Farah acknowledged that she is happiest and most focused when she is directing.
