Akshay Kumar and Farah Khan recently came together for a promotional video for the OTT release of the song ‘Bhooth Bangla’ where they were accompanied by Priyadarshan and
Rajpal Yadav
. The conversation quickly turned into a nostalgic trip through their early years in the entertainment industry.
Looking back on Farah’s journey before she became one of the most successful choreographers and filmmakers in Bollywood, Akshay recalls seeing her participate in dance competitions.
Farah directed Akshay in Tees Maar Khan. “I know Farah very well. She was competing for prizes of Rs 5,000, Rs 10,000 and Rs 10,000,” Akshay said during this chat on Netflix India’s Youtube channel. Farah quickly corrected him, saying: “No, don’t lie like that.”
We used to get Rs 1,000.” Akshay went on to praise her dancing talent and recalled seeing her regularly at a popular nightclub in Mumbai. “And she was an amazing dancer. There was a place, a nightclub called Xanadu. “And she used to go there,” he said.Farah then highlighted Akshay’s personal life, making everyone laugh. “And he came every week with a new girlfriend,” she joked. Akshay immediately denied the allegation, saying, “Don’t lie.
No no. Farah, who was not ready to let him out of this predicament, added: “He only brought one friend.”The actor quickly responded with a joke of his own. “She’s used to changing partners,” he said. “I don’t understand why this has become a part of my life,” Farah said, laughing at the conversation. Akshay’s reply was equally cheeky: “Because I know about you.” The conversation also revisited Akshay’s memorable appearance in Farah Khan’s 2007 blockbuster ‘Om Shanti Om’.
Recalling a scene from the film, the actor jokingly accused Farah of deliberately choosing a particular camera angle.“I shot the fight scene,” he said, pointing toward his pelvis. “Where I drop the gun and then pick it up here.” “And I released her. A vulgar woman. She kept screaming: ‘Don’t take her.'” Farah laughed and defended herself, saying: “Who told me to film the scene from behind?”“I didn’t say that,” Akshay immediately replied. ‘Bhooth Bangla’ has now started streaming on Netflix. The film also stars Tabu.
