It’s Farah Khan’s husband, Shirish Kunder’s birthday, and the filmmaker has a beautiful wish for him

Ace choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khan has an adorable birthday wish for ‘above average’ husband Shirish Kunder, who turned 45 on Thursday, May 24. Taking to social media, Farah wished her husband in the most adorable manner. “Happy birthday to an above average husband, but the Best Dad my kids could have!! @shirishkunder .. ur a rare one(sic)!”

Well, knowing 53-year-old’s wit, one doesn’t expect a normal birthday wish from her.

Shirish Kunder is a filmmaker and has also worked as an editor in over several films. He met Farah on the sets of her film Main Hoon Na. Kunder’s directorial debut was with Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta’s film Jaan-E-Mann (2006). Before stepping into the world of glitz and glamour, Shirish worked as an electronic engineer with a reputed phone company for four years.

Apart from this, he is also known for his humour; the art of punching it hard without getting hurt. Here are a few quotes from him that just prove the above-said statement.

“Idiots are always enthusiastic about everything because no matter what life experiences they’ve gone through, they’ve learnt nothing, and can still foresee nothing.”

“Lowering your standards won’t make your battles easier. You will only be fighting with dirtier people.”

“Forgive people. Or just move on to other people. There are enough people in this world.”

“Isn’t it logical that those who believe only in certain religions and castes should focus on running closed groups instead of an entire nation that will have people from all religions and castes?”

Farah Khan and Shirish have been married for 14 years now. They tied the knot in 2004 and have triplets Czar, Anya, and Diva Kunder.

Unfair to compare Sridevi and Jahnvi: Farah Khan

 Celebrities

Farah Khan, who worked with Sridevi and has now choreographed for Janhvi in “Dhadak”, feels it would be unfair to compare the newcomer with her mother

Farah Khan, who worked with Sridevi and has now choreographed for Janhvi in “Dhadak”, feels it would be unfair to compare the newcomer with her mother. Farah believes every actor has a different approach towards the craft and their individuality should be respected. “Janhvi is absolutely lovely and she is a very good dancer. She picks up really fast and to compare her to her mother is the most unfair thing I think because Sri by her age was already a veteran and this is Janhvi’s first film. “I love Sri. When I started my career, she really pushed me and I used to do all her shows. But everybody is (a different) individual,” Farah told PTI.

Sridevi, who started film career at the age of four, died of accidental drowning in Dubai last month. She was 54. Farah has recreated the popular track “Zingat” from blockbuster Marathi film “Sairat” for the Hindi remake version of Karan Johar produced “Dhadak”, that marks the acting debut of Jahnvi and Shahid Kapoor’s half brother Ishaan Khatter.
“What happened was when they asked me to do it (recreate the song) for the Hindi version, I was given two briefs. The director (Shashank Khaitan) wanted it like it was done in the earlier movie, very casual, very organic and Karan wanted it to be a big song.”

Farah, who is known for her commercial sensibilities, believes a well-told story is more important than a boring “pseudo intellectual cinema”. “This year I have really enjoyed watching ‘Lipstick Under My Burkha’ which I thought was not only saying something but it was also very entertaining. Then, of course, you have Rajkummar’s ‘Newton’ and I think ‘Hindi medium’ was again saying a new story.”

Most of her directorial ventures have featured Shah Rukh Khan but the director said it took three years for the superstar to say yes “Main Hoo Naa”. “It was also a struggle because I was not making your typical so called women should direct only a certain type of movie. I wanted to make a big budget action movie which had drama in it. So I was not falling in that cliche of what people suppose women directors should be making. That itself was a struggle” she said.

The director-choreographer is one of the jury members for REEL movie awards honouring artistes who have entertained audiences with their creativity through excellent storytelling. Film critic-TV host Rajeev Masand will moderate the jury panel that also has names such as Sudhir Mishra, Sujoy Ghosh and Nikkhil Advani. The awards will be announced on March 20.

To which, the wittiest Farah replied, “Ur everything is better than mine n yes hightime (sic).”

Malaika’s Instagram followers also started praising the diva’s beauty and her determination to hit the gym every day and how she has just aged like wine. The 44-year-old momma received compliments such as, “Everything about her is perfect”, “Most sexiest woman on the earth” and many endearing praises.

At the party, Ed shook a leg to some of the Bhangra and Bollywood beats and humbly requested to not play his music. “He had specially requested that we play Bollywood and bhangra and NOT his music,” informed Khan. “Your music reminds us of the all-time great songwriters Carole King and James Taylor. Songs that will last over time and become anthems for their generation,” we said to him. “Thanks. That’s a big compliment,” he said with genuine delight at hearing such vintage names introduced in the assembled zeitgeist.

One of the songs he was seen dancing his heart out on was Rajkummar Rao, Ayushmann Khurrana and Kriti Sanon’s song, ‘Sweety Tera Drama’ from ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’. The singer, comfortable in his crumpled shorts, shirt and sandals was grooving with Farah Khan, the hostess. He looked adorable in the dance video posted by the official Twitter handle of the film ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’.

The movie also starred Shreyas Talpade who is shown as Shah Rukh Khan confidante and friend. The antagonist was played by Arjun Rampal, who reminded us of the larger-than-life onscreen villains from the 70s.
