Farah Khan and her husband, editor Shirish Kunder, have been married for 20 years. While Farah is often in the spotlight, Shirish prefers a more private life. The two first met during the production of Farah’s directorial debut, Main Hoon Na, where Shirish worked as the editor. Interestingly, their initial interactions were far from cordial. Farah recently revealed, “I used to hate him,” indicating their relationship didn’t begin as a conventional romance.
During an interview on Archana Puran Singh’s YouTube channel, Farah shared more about their dynamic. She admitted that for the first six months of knowing Shirish, she assumed he was gay. Reflecting on how their relationship evolved, she humorously recalled his temper, saying, “Earlier, he used to get angry. And when he used to get angry, it was very annoying because a person is just keeping quiet and then they are torturing you by not talking.”
When Archana asked who typically apologizes after fights, Farah Khan confessed, “No one says sorry.” She added with a laugh, “Shirish has never apologized to me in 20 years because he is never wrong.” She also mentioned a quirk of their relationship, explaining, “If he talks and I even glance at my phone, he’ll walk out.”
Farah’s candid remarks showcase the humor and understanding that define her marriage with Shirish, proving that even unconventional beginnings can lead to enduring partnerships.
