Everyone has their own share of struggles and this stands true for our Bollywood celebrities too. Film maker Farah Khan recently opened up about the struggles of her father and also mentioned that he died penniless and left them gasping for air. He too was a film maker and his films flopped one after the other which led him to loose all his money.

Farah is now a firm believer of the fact that when a film is made, everyone associated with it should make money. In an interaction with the media at Big Cine Expo 2019 , she said, "I would rather have exhibitors and theatre owners give me an award saying my movies are making money for everybody. I think for me, that is important as a filmmaker. My father was a producer and he died penniless because his movies flopped. So, I always feel it's my responsibility as a filmmaker (to ensure) everyone makes money when my movie is released -- be it the samosawaala or theatres owners."

She even shed light on why film makers are making lesser main stream entertainers in the lines of Prakash Mehra and Manmohan Desai, Farah said, "I think those are big shoes to fill. People are making big movies but they are scared to make these big musicals because filmmakers constantly feels that if they will do something (in that genre) then critics will criticise them. But Rohit (Shetty) and I are the two filmmakers who want to make happy and entertaining movies like the ones we used to watch in our childhood days." 

On the missing content in movies these days, Farah said, "You can't say that entertaining films don't have content. Rohit (Shetty) makes movies that are completely enjoyable. They have a social message and they are not vulgar, and same goes with me. It's just that we like to make larger-than-life films, which is a diminishing trend at the moment," she pin pointed.
