Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan have remained close friends over the years. Their friendship has been so strong that Shah Rukh was the first person outside Farah’s family to know that she was expecting triplets. In an interview for Nova IVF Fertility’s YouTube channel, Farah Khan recalled conceiving while filming Om Shanti Om and how Shah Rukh Khan comforted her in her times of duress.
“For the first five-six months, there were only lows, because they were retrieving eggs and planting them, and I don’t know how many times I must have gone under general anaesthesia. The first time I went to the doctor I was so sure that I was pregnant, but I literally got my period in her office. So I used to be sobbing all the way back to the shoot,” Farah said.
She added, “One day, in the middle of the day, I got a call from the doctor, and she said it’s not happened this time. We were shooting a comic scene, and Shah Rukh knew something was wrong, because I was going to cry. So, he called for a break and took me into his van, where I’ve sobbed for one hour.”
Farah said that when she was finally able to conceive, Shah Rukh was the second person she gave this news to, the first being her mother. She said, “I said, ‘I have to tell you something’. He looked at me and said, ‘Are you pregnant?’ We still had to finish Darde-e-Disco, and every time he’d remove his shirt I would throw up. He would keep a bucket next to me. He was very sweet, he ordered this lazy boy couch, instead of the director’s chair, so that I could lie down with a mic and shout at people.”
Farah Khan is a mother to triplets Czar, Anya and Diva. She married director Shirish Kunder in 2004 and the couple welcomed their kids in 2008.
