Choreographer Farah Khan’s childhood was spent in poverty: She said- Father became poor when the films flopped; We were the poorest among all the cousins
Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan’s childhood was spent seeing struggle. Actually, her father Kamran Khan was a stuntman and later became a producer. He invested money in many such films, which flopped and he became bankrupt. Due to this, the family had to face financial crisis. Farah Khan has talked about this condition of the family in a recent interview. She said that she belongs to a film family. But when she was 5 years old, she was the poorest compared to the other children of the family. Farah is Farhan Akhtar’s cousin. Farah’s mother Meena Irani was the sister of veteran actress Daisy and Honey Irani. Meena also had a family relationship with writer Javed Akhtar because Honey Irani was his first wife. In this way, Farah, Farhan and Zoya Akhtar are cousins. Father’s shadow went away from the head at the age of 18. Farah said in a recent interview to Radio Nasha that she and her brother Sajid were the poorest cousins in the entire family. After becoming poor, her father started drinking alcohol. When Farah was 18 years old, her father died, after which the situation worsened. Farah says- Yes, I was from a filmy family. But when I was 5 years old, the family had to go through a period of financial crisis. Sajid and I were the poorest among all the cousins. We have travelled from riches to rags. Then in this condition, the rest of the family members were helping us. They were very good people. They gave us shelter in their house. At the time of death, father had only 30 rupees in his pocket. Some time ago, Farah had also talked about these days with Manish Paul. She had told that when her father died, he had only 30 rupees in his pocket. Farah had said- He had played cards the night before. At the time of death, he had only 30 rupees in his pocket which he had won while playing cards. Salman Khan’s father gave money for the last rites. Farah’s brother Sajid Khan also mentioned this in the Bigg Boss house. He said- the situation was so bad that there was no money even for the last rites of the father. At that time, Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan helped.
