In a candid and humorous revelation on the popular talk show 'Two Much With Twinkle Khanna And Kajol', celebrated Bollywood choreographer Farah Khan shared a surprising story about how actor-author Twinkle Khanna was responsible for her current success as a YouTube star. The conversation took a playful turn as the two industry veterans revisited their shared history, revealing a moment where their professional dynamic led to tears, but with an unexpected positive outcome.
The Playful Reversal of On-Set Tears
The discussion began when Ananya Panday, who accompanied Farah Khan to the Amazon Prime talk show, recounted her own experience of being brought to tears by the veteran choreographer during the filming of the song 'Ankhiyon Se Goli Maare' for the movie Pati Patni Aur Woh. Farah, known for her perfectionism, proudly claimed, "Whichever heroine I push to tears, they become big stars."
Twinkle Khanna, however, was quick to interject with a witty correction. "You made me cry, I never became a big star," she stated. Farah Khan, displaying her trademark wit, immediately shot back, "Because you didn't cry, you made me cry." This led to a moment of shared laughter and agreement, with Twinkle concluding, "I made you cry, and you became a big star." Farah acknowledged this unique twist of fate, nodding and saying, "Exactly, you did the opposite." Twinkle then added with mock seriousness, "All your YouTube glory is because of me," to which Farah smilingly agreed.
Recalling the Demanding Pati Patni Aur Woh Shoot
The conversation delved deeper into the specific incident that led to Ananya Panday's tears. Farah Khan recalled choreographing the song for Ananya and her co-star Bhumi Pednekar. She described the intense shooting schedule with her characteristic humour, stating she told the actors they needed IV drips from Mumbai's famous Nanavati Hospital and Lilavati Hospital by the end of it.
Ananya Panday reflected on the challenging experience, revealing her initial confidence. "I thought I had grown up in front of her, she would be very nice to me. So I was fully confident. But then I left the set in tears," she shared, highlighting the high-pressure environment that Farah is known for creating to achieve the perfect shot.
A Serious Note: Confronting Harassment in the Industry
Beyond the lighthearted banter, the talk show also touched upon a more serious subject. Farah Khan recounted an uncomfortable incident where a director made unwanted advances towards her while she was working on his film. "He came into my room to discuss a song or something while I was in bed, and he sat next to me. I had to kick him from there," Farah revealed bravely.
Twinkle Khanna, who was present during this incident, corroborated the story, adding her voice as a witness. "He was after her, no matter what. She had to physically kick him. This happened. I was the witness," Twinkle stated, lending support to Farah's account of the event.
The episode, which aired on November 8, 2025, provided a multifaceted look into Farah Khan's career, blending humorous behind-the-scenes anecdotes with a stark reminder of the challenges faced by women in the film industry. It showcased the enduring camaraderie between the stars while solidifying the unique origin story of Farah's successful second act as a YouTube personality.
