Farah Khan reveals she was paid more than Shah Rukh Khan for this film: 'I was paid Rs 30,000, he was paid…'

Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan were both born in 1965 and born in the industry in 1992. The man with Deewana and the lady with Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. And in an interview with Radio Nasha, the choreographer and director revealed she was paid more than SRK in Kundan Shah’s 1994 classic Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa.

Khan said, “The budget was very low. Shah Rukh was paid Rs 25,000 for that movie. I was the highest paid person on that movie, let me tell you. I was paid Rs 5,000 per song, and there were six songs. Just because of that, I was paid Rs 30,000. We couldn’t even afford an assistant.’

Farah Khan , the lady behind hits like Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om, and Happy New Year, opened up about the challenges she faced as a director during the making of her second film, and how Shah Rukh Khan helped her a lot.

In an interview with Nova IVF Fertility, Khan said, “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 anesthesia. 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.”

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 sobbed for one hour.’

Breaking the pregnancy news

I said I have to tell you something. He looked at me and said, ‘Are you pregnant?’ e 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.’
