Booze has a major role 2 play..-Farah

Here is a sneak peek to what Bollywood's new, high-voltage director couple- Farah Khan and Shirish Kunder's share with Simi Garewal.

Simi: One can't tell looking at you, what you've been through!
Farah: I can make a tragedy out of my childhood and my traumas and my parents splitting up and my father literally dying penniless. He had 30 rupees in his pocket, when he died. You can keep that in your heart and become bitter and become angry at the world but I've chosen to remember the happier times and somewhere I feel God's been nicer now!

Simi: How much did you have to struggle?
Farah: It wasn't a typical struggle because I got my first break pretty easily. I was the assistant director on 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar' while the mighty Saroj Khan was choreographing. I was watching and wondering how she does it. It dawned on me, I can do this and I can do this better! When Mansoor offered me the film was no hesitation, there was no nervousness, and I was like, "Now, I'll show you how it should be done!"

Simi: Who is the best and worst dancer?
Farah: Hrithik is too good and worst is Nana! For someone to be off-beat for over 5 minutes is an achievement.

Simi: Tell me, between the two of you, who first chose whom first?
Shirish: I chose her! Other than beauty, one thing that really attracts me is intelligence. There was a silent crush but I never did anything about it. So when she offered me to edit 'Main Hoon Na', I agreed to do that at much lesser the price than I ever did. I saw no hope! One day, there was a party at her place and I got drunk and told her.

Simi: So how did you finally propose to her?
Farah: He actually gave me an ultimatum, the way girls do! He said, if you don't want to get married, darling, just get out. If you want to get married, then we'll take it further. Then I thought about it. Because he did that, I realised that I did not want to lose him.

Simi: How did 'Jaan-e-man' happen?
Shirish: Booze has a major role to play in our lives. At a party, she happened to mention my story to the producer and he said, "This is fabulous".

The episode will be aired on October 22 on Star World
