Why Shahrukh did not attend Farah’s show?


Speculations of a crack in the friendship between Shahrukh Khan and Farah Khan are doing rounds since Farah has signed Akshay Kumar as a hero for her next film Tees Maar Khan. Recent development shows that there is element of truth in these speculations. Recently Farah choreographed a lingerie show for Triumph, almost whole of the Bollywod was present for the show but Farah’s best buddy Shahrukh’s absence made tongue’s wagging.

Rumors are that SRK is upset about the fact that Farah has signed Akshay for her next film. Sources claim that SRK refused to attend the show on the pretext that he doesn’t enjoy watching half nude models doing catwalk on the ramp.Though this just an excuse from the SRK, because he knew Akki will be attending the show and he didn’t wanted to come face to face with him. Akshay came with wife Twinkle and he was the center of attraction all evening.

Farah claims that there is nothing wrong between her and SRK. She adds that he doesn’t like the idea of watching women walking on the ramp wearing lingerie. Last year too he did not attend the show citing this very reason. Farah and SRK’s friend Karan Johar too says that Shahrukh feels shy while watching lingerie show.When someone asked Akshay Kumar that Shahrukh didn’t attend the show because of his awkwardness, he quipped, “No, I don’t think he is shy to watch a lingerie show.”

Shahrukh Khan refuses to accept Farah’s request


Once touted as filmdom’s best buddies, Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan have now fallen apart. And it’s all owing to Farah’s efforts of making a Khan out of Akshay Kumar. After Farah signed Akshay to star in her flick ‘Tees Maar Khan’, the director was left dumbfounded when Shah Rukh turned down her offer to grace her much anticipated lingerie show for a renowned brand.

And while King Khan has decided to give a royal ignore to Farah’s personal invite, her newfound best buddy Akshay has confirmed to make a smashing entry at the show. So what’s the cause of all this acrimony? If sources are to be believed, then ever since Farah signed on Akshay for her home production, Shah Rukh has been breathing fire.

And considering that SRK has always stood by his pals and accepted their film offers without much ado, he seems to have a valid reason to fume and fuss.Confirming the news a source said, “Farah has called her new favourite star Akshay Kumar and her old friend Shah Rukh Khan too. While Akshay agreed to be at the show, SRK turned down her invitation saying he is too embarrassed to be a part of such lingerie shows”.

Well, looks like Farah will have do without King Khan at her show.

Farah takes revenge, dumps Shahrukh


Here is the shocker of the year! The leading actor of director Farah Khan’s next film is not Shahrukh Khan. It is Akshay Kumar. Titled Tees Maar Khan (TMK), the film is a joint production between the actor’s Hari Om Productions and her company (owned jointly with husband Shirish Kunder) Three’s Company.This casting is interesting because Farah is Shahrukh’s rakhi sister and Akshay is his arch-rival. Both her previous films had her mooh-bola-bhai in lead roles. Her third film, Happy New Year was to feature him too but he kept sending her back to the writing boards as he wasn’t happy with it. When it became clear that in 2010, SRK would finish Ra1 and Don, she dropped the project and approached Akshay for TMK.And though Farah and Shahrukh are not working together, she remains very fond of him.Apparently, she met SRK yesterday at Mannat to apprise him of the latest developments of her film and to let him know that Akshay was her lead hero before Shahrukh heard it from anyone else.Clearly, there is stress between SRK and Farah. The unwritten rule has been broken.

Until now it was understood: If Farah Khan (or Karan Johar) made a film, it would star SRK. But by casting Khan’s dushman, she has proved what was only being speculated so far – that all is not well between them. It is believed that the actor was not happy with the script and asked her to rewrite it a few times but she felt these were just delaying tactics and he wanted to start the superhero flick Ra1 and the action-thriller Don 2 before her film.She felt hurt that he gave her the run-around instead of being direct with her. Things have been brewing beneath the surface for quite some time now.Farah has been missing from most parties at Mannat. She has been slowly distancing herself from the clique.Also, Farah felt that Shahrukh had treated Shirish badly by offering him The Zoya Factor to direct for his home production, and then passing the film off to someone else without even informing him.

SRK had also given the nod to Tees Maar Khan to be directed by Shirish initially, then later had second thoughts about it. Shirish was also in talks with Shahrukh Khan for another film (Joker) but that didn’t work out as well.Shirish Kunder says, “Yes, it’s true that Akshay and I are co-producing Tees Maar Khan and Farah is directing the film. The production company that Farah and I have formed is called Three’s Company Production Pvt Ltd. I had written this film with Akshay in mind and was initially planning to direct it but when Farah and I formed our production company, we mutually thought it best that she direct this film while I take the responsibility of a producer.Akshay and I shared a great rapport while working on Jaan-e-Mann and I have been looking to work with him again. This project gives me that opportunity.”When quizzed as to why Farah didn’t take Shahrukh for her next project, Farah says simply, “I am very fond of Shahrukh but I have to be there for my husband.

Shirish needs my support today and he’s family.”Farah’s brother Sajid Khan’s directorial debut starred Akshay Kumar. His second film, which is in the making, also stars Akki. Akshay was also the lead star (along with Salman Khan) of Farah’s husband Shirish Kunder’s directorial debut Jaan-E-Mann. We have heard that Shirish Kunder is co-producing a film Tees Maar Khan with Akshay Kumar which Akshay is starring in and Farah Khan is directing. Are you aware of it and if you are, are you okay that Farah’s next film won’t be with you?

Farah's chef won Rs 10,000 on Her reality show


Farah Khan was in for a surprise on the sets of her reality show Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega. The show that airs on Sony has Farah and Annu Malek as the judges.

In one of the opening episodes, Farah was stunned when she saw her cook Prajapati participate. He not only


participated but also ended up winning Rs 10,000 in cash.

Says Farah, "The show is about every kind of talent. There have been people who did some really crazy stuff.

Like a guy who played the flute through his nose and this contortionist who twisted her body and ate an ice-cream with her feet. Another guy did a drag act dressed up as Rekha."

However it was Prajapati's act that had her stunned. "He composed the most hilarious Bhojpuri song I have ever heard.

I didn't even know he was going to be on the show or had applied for the audition. He won 10,000 bucks for his effort."

Describing the format of the show she adds, "The acts have to be for a minute and if we don't like the performances, then we buzz them out.

At the end of the week, we choose two finalists who battle it out for the grand finale and win a cash prize of Rs 5 lakh. It's fun and I am having a great time."
