Farah Khan on her fondness for films

The conversation began with Nakuul expressing his fondness for the kind of films Farah used to make. Farah said, Abhi banaungi main! Abhi bachche chaley jayenge na college fir banaungi! There is a whole petition on the internet called wapas aao Farah Khan (I will make a film soon! My kids are going to college so I will make after that. There is a whole petition for me to return to direction)! So I think it is time, I think end of this year I will start.

Farah humorously stated she's not leaving YouTube, as she needs to pay her kids' fees! When Nakuul asked if YouTube would produce her film, she replied, If I do (direct her film), I will do it will Shah Rukh! Otherwise, I will wait and do YouTube.
