A Surreal Experience with Junaid and Khushi
Farah reminisced about choreographing Junaid Khan, the son of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, and Khushi Kapoor, daughter of the legendary Sridevi. “It was a surreal experience because literally, I think I was working with Aamir in ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar’ and after that Junaid was born. We all had gone to his house with Mansoor and everybody to congratulate him,” Farah recalled.
She also shared her deep connection with Sridevi and the Kapoor family, saying, “Same with Sridevi also, I was quite close to her, Boney, and the whole Kapoor family. For me, it was very wonderful.” Reflecting on her long career, Farah expressed that it feels strange working with the next generation, “It just feels weird that I’ve been around for so long. I don’t feel it. It’s just that when I shoot with these guys, I realize that, oh my god, I started my career with Aamir and now I’m choreographing his son.”
