Farah Khan recently opened up about the industry’s reaction to her film Tees Maar Khan’s failure during a candid vlog at Jackky Bhagnani and Rakul Preet Singh’s luxurious Mumbai home.
Bollywood’s Candid Confessions
Farah Khan, accompanied by her cook Dilip, shared a surprising revelation about her 2010 directorial, Tees Maar Khan. She disclosed that its box office failure sparked “a celebration” within the film industry.
Farah recalled how some individuals she had worked with reacted, saying, “Abhi aayi na line par,” highlighting the competitive and sometimes unforgiving nature of Bollywood. Despite the film’s initial reception, Farah noted its surprising popularity among Gen Z today.
Inside Jackky & Rakul’s Dream Home
The vlog also offered viewers an exclusive tour of Jackky Bhagnani and Rakul Preet Singh’s lavish residence. The director and her cook were visibly impressed, getting a glimpse of everything from a private home lift to multiple living rooms, a beautiful pool area, and a stunning white marble kitchen.
Farah playfully commented on the realities of being a producer, joking, “Don’t become a producer, because they had ten floors earlier and after they became producers, only 5 are left.”
Their Unexpected Love Story
During the tour, Jackky and Rakul Preet shared the charming tale of how their relationship began during the lockdown. It all started when a mutual friend called Jackky, asking for a vodka bottle for Rakul’s brother’s birthday. Feeling isolated during the lockdown, Jackky saw it as an opportunity for human interaction.
Rakul humorously added that she and her brother initially picked up the bottle in PPE kits without inviting him in. When her brother needed another bottle 15 days later, Jackky suggested they bring food this time. Their friendship gradually blossomed into romance, leading to their first date at Jackky’s home on Diwali.
The Bhagnani Family’s Resilience
The conversation also touched upon the pressures of the film industry. Jackky spoke about the mean comments his film Bellbottom received regarding its box office performance during the pandemic. Farah resonated with this, recalling her own experiences with Tees Maar Khan.
Jackky shed light on his father, veteran producer Vashu Bhagnani’s, humble beginnings. He revealed that his father used to sell sarees on the footpath. Jackky has witnessed his father’s incredible resilience, seeing him rebuild from setbacks, including during the time of Om Jai Jagdish, “three-four times.”
