Farah Khan visited actor Amyra Dastur’s Mumbai residence for the latest episode of her YouTube channel. The actor welcomed her and the two of them recalled memories of working together on the set of the film Kung Fu Yoga. Farah had choreographed a song called Goosebump, which had Amyra in it. The actor shared how she was intimidated by Farah and then there was one moment when she almost made her cry on set.
Why did Farah make Amyra cry?
Amyra recalled what happened on set and said, “Farah has a very good sense of humour but I did not know that. I had only heard that Farah ma’am will yell at you so don’t mess up… Then she comes at me and she says, ‘Congratulations!’ So I thought I was doing such a good job. She said, ‘You are going to be my Titanic and ruin my career!’”
Farah looked surprised and laughed at this recollection, and said that whoever has got some yelling has done well in their career! Amyra agreed to that statement and said that Farah has also yelled at Boman Irani on the set of Happy New Year. Farah recalled how Boman was trying to get in character, but it was making her think he had gone into a coma. She asked him, “Will you do something or will you stay in coma?” Farah added that Boman got up and told her he was trying to stay in character.
