Farah Khan Spills Bean On Tantrums By Bollywood Actors: ‘They Don’t Act Until…’
Farah Khan has collaborated with a number of the biggest names in Bollywood. In addition to choreographing, she has directed films like Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om, Happy New Year, and Tees Maar Khan. The filmmaker is now calling out actors over their uncalled-for tantrums, including demanding as many as four vanity vans.
Khan, who has been active in showbiz since 1992, has seen the best and the worst of Bollywood. She has choreographed over 100 songs for over 80 films with projects like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Student of the Year, and Kal Ho Naa Ho under her filmography.
Tantrums of Bollywood celebrities
In a recent podcast with Dipika Kakkar and her husband, Shoaib Ibrahim, Farah Khan revealed the tantrums of Bollywood celebrities and shared, “Until the vans don’t come, they don’t act. Nowadays, each actor has about four vans for themselves. One person. One is for their gym, one is for their staff, one is for them, one is… then the food truck comes; that’s separate.”
Farah Khan also compared the current state of Bollywood to its past. In the past, when changing for outdoor shoots, actors would cover themselves with bedsheets and use towels. However, modern actors will not begin work until their specialised vans are delivered to the sets. Their vanities come equipped with proper gym equipment and opulent kitchens.
“Earlier, heroines would change behind trees; we would hold towels for them. I have done it for them. When you go for outdoor shoots, you’d do it; even in Switzerland, they would change behind the bus and use bedsheets to cover. Now the actors don’t budge unless their vans come,” she added.
Big-name actors Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, Kajol, Kriti Sanon, and Varun Dhawan are just a few of the celebrities with whom director Farah Khan has collaborated. We wonder who she is hinting at.
