During the heartfelt chat, Farah admitted that growing older has made her more reflective about her words and behavior. Known for speaking her mind, she shared that her straightforward nature has occasionally caused rifts in her personal and professional relationships. “Sometimes I upset some of my friends, and as I’m getting older, I’m realizing that I don’t need to tell them the truth all the time,” Farah said. “Some friends, especially those in the film industry, have become a bit picky.”

Her comments struck a chord with many who admire her for her honesty. Farah emphasized that while humor and honesty define her personality, she has learned that tact and timing are equally important when dealing with sensitive individuals, especially in an industry as image-conscious as Bollywood. Farah also shed light on her long and enduring marriage to filmmaker Shirish Kunder. She revealed that the early years of their relationship were far from easy. “In the beginning, it was very challenging, and when I would force him to open up with me, we would have a lot of fights,” she recalled.

She also explained that the imbalance in public attention sometimes created discomfort between them. “Wherever we went, the focus was always on me and not on my husband,” she said. Farah further said, “Not just the industry, the world is full of such people. They always focus on the man who is more successful at the time. So they only talk to me and ignore my husband, and I didn’t like that, and he didn’t either.”
