The Farah Khan Chat

Farah Khan Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:28 IST)
Das, not after Akele Hum Akele Tum and then too, variety is the spice of life.

SANJIT: Mansoor is one of the better directors we have today, non filmi and very, very involved in his films and he has good taste in choreographers:-)


Das (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:27 IST)
Farah, are you married? If so, to whom? Somebody in the industry? ;-))


Moonface (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:27 IST)
Farah *very very surprised* with all that dancing you have to diet!!! Don't tell me that you eat oily/fatty food !!!!!


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:30 IST)
Das, I'm absolutely unmarried, footloose and fiance free WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!:-)

Moonface: I'm becoming moonfaced now:-)


hello (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:28 IST)
U are very pretty, Farah....


Jackal (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:30 IST)
Farah K. did you have a chance to work with Prabhudeva ?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:33 IST)
Jackal: are you the one who called me pretty after the hideous picture that Rediff has put of mine? *sob* Yeah I did choreograph Prabhu Deva in Sapnay in the Ooh La La la. It was a great experience because I'm a great fan of his and he used to touch my feet every morning. I even got a photograph of that because people wouldn't believe me:-)


Anand Dingre (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:32 IST)
Farah, Hi. U are a real beauty. I am a great fan of urs. Let me congratulate u on all ur success. If u r asked to direct the politicians of today, who would be ur pick as lead dancer among the pack?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:34 IST)
Anand Dhingre: Laloo Prasad Yadav, He can do the jabtak rahega samose mein aloo song:-)


Harry Truman (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:33 IST)
Hi Farah, nice to have you with us. I enjoyed JJWS and the dance sequences. What type of fitness and diet does a dancer have to follow?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:36 IST)
Are you THE HARRY TRUMAN? Only then will I answer the question.


Das (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:36 IST)
Farah, Why WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!:-) ??? I'm *sure* a lot of guys will be saying YAHOOOOOOO!!!!


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:37 IST)
Das that was a typing error WOOOO HOOOOOO *Looking the guys in the room*:-)


Harry Truman (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:37 IST)
Yes, Farah ..The ONLY difference is that I didn't DROP the Bomb


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:41 IST)
Harry Truman: First, you have to run behind the stars that keeps you fit, then you have to bend backwards to teach them steps. Then you have to kneel and pray that they got the steps right and then jump and down with joy when the song's a hit. And if it's a flop then you have to hide your head between your knees and if all else fails then run around trees. Most of the time you have to eat your own words:-(


SANJIT SINGH (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:42 IST)
hey farah...do u think of dances/actions before reaching the shooting or is it spontaneous? if it's a mix, then how much is what?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:43 IST)
Sanjit Singh: I definitely don't make up steps when I reach the studio. I work on it at least 10 days before I reach the studio; and it's not only steps, it's the whole concept of the song the costumes the sets the camera angles. Life's a bitch :-)


dancer (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:35 IST)
farah,..you are funny..are you naturally like all the time.. or do you get REALLY serious? when are these times?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:49 IST)
Dancer: I'm VERY serious about my sense of humour. I only lose my sense of humour when I get a bad song to do. I live with my brother Sajid Khan and you need a sense of humour to go through life with him:-)


Harry Truman (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:49 IST)
If Bollywood had to do a Hindi remake of Titanic who would you prefer as Jack and Rose?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:51 IST)
Harry Truman, BUT TITANIC is a remake of every Hindi love story ever made. But Guddi Maruti and Rishi Kapoor would give enough reasons for the Titanic to sink:-)


Shabana (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:31 IST)
Farah: Actually, I want to know. How religious are our other muslim stars like Shahrukh, Aamir, Salman and Tabu? Can u tell me? Because guys in US feel that they are not, is it true?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:54 IST)
Dear Shabana don't worry about anyone getting bugged at you. As for the other stars I know that Shah Rukh is a very good human being. He does a lot of charity, he helps a lot of people in the film industry and outside it. I know that Tabu does her namaaz regularly as she is a very close friend of mine and even if she didn't do her namaaz she is still a good person. I don't know about Salman but he is always ready to help anybody who needs it and that's what I think is important in life and not what religion you are.


Ranjana (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:50 IST)
Farah: Of course. I mean. Does the eternal love turns into sexual love. And after that two people stop loving each other because their lust for each other is over? And by the way, I don't understand what is spiritual love, can you explain me? And if you can frankly state, have u fallen in love with somebody. I mean getting involved and thinking of marriage?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:57 IST)
Ranjana : Spiritual love is your love for humanity and god and animals and nature. It's beyond physical beyond lust and its also very boring:-) Yes I am in love with somebody. The rest will be explained to you in my autobiography.


Akayla (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:56 IST)
Farah: Don't you feel lonely at times? I mean, whom do you tell your secret things when you are upset about things not going according to your way. After all, man is a social animal. And everybody needs a partner, isn't it?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:58 IST)
Akayla but WHO said I don't have a partner??? I also have lots of friends, my brother who I can confide in and some things are better not told to others.


amit (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:47 IST)
r u there farah ... u did not gave me reply.... what more do u want from GOD ?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:0 IST)
Amit: When you don't want anything is when you get it. I do want things from god but if I pretend that I don't want it I'll get it :-)


mahesh (Wed Jul 29 1998 8:59 IST)
how was it directing your bro in jhoot bole kauva kaate?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:1 IST)
Mahesh: It was great fun as I could bully him totally and he couldn't say a word, he had to touch my feet in the morning and call me masterji. I actually was very partial, if anyone else would make a mistake I would shout at him.


SANJIT SINGH (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:1 IST)
farah..what type of songs do u like to choreograph?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:4 IST)
Sanjit Singh: I like to choreograph hit songs because I have realised that unless the songs are a hit my choreography won't reach out to anybody. If the song is bad they will get up and go to the toilet.


Boole (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:4 IST)
Farah, I've heard that you've put on a lot of weight. TRUE or FALSE?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:6 IST)
Boole: I haven't put on that much weight! I can still wear jeans. But I do have to go on a diet if I want to tuck in my shirt in the jeans.


mahesh (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:5 IST)
What qualities in men appeal to u?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:7 IST)
Mahesh: A man should not always be there. That's the quality I appreciate most.


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:7 IST)
Mahesh:*more* Even the Monalisa will look ordinary if its hanging in your bathroom for a year.


SANJIT SINGH (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:6 IST)
but farah..how do u know beforehand which song is a hit and which is not???


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:9 IST)
Sanjit: THAT is a tragedy! That I can't compose my own tunes:-( But I can make out whether the song is a hit after hearing it a couple of times and sometimes you know the song is really bad but you have a commitment to finish it so I try to work harder on bad songs so that it won't look as bad as it sounds.


mahesh (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:7 IST)
U had a tiff with anil kapoor during the making of 1942:als isn't? How r things now?


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:10 IST)
Mahesh: I had no such thing Anil is a dear friend of mine and we are working together in Pukar, Jot Boole Kauva Kaate, though he may have a tiff with me because I keep telling him he's a really bad dancer.


mahesh (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:13 IST)
Have u choreographed the songs for Kareeb? Which movie r u personally looking forward to, in terms of freshness, good numbers.


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:15 IST)
Mahesh: No I haven't thanked god. I did choreograph 1942 and one film with Vidhu Vinod Chopra is enough for a lifetime, but I'm looking forward to Mani Ratnam's Dil Se and Karan Johar's Kuch Kuch Hota Hai releasing on Diwali.


Farah Khan (Wed Jul 29 1998 9:17 IST)
Bye and thanks for chatting with me I've had fun I may actually buy a computer now but I don't know if I'll get down to going for my shoots if I get hooked on.

And to Shabana: KHUDA HAFIZ
