Farah Khan recently took a trip down memory lane and offered a glimpse into her memorable interaction with Michael Jackson.
The 61-year-old director, who has always been expressive about her admiration for the late King of Pop, reflected on her first meeting with the legendary singer.
In a recent conversation with Shruti Sinha in her vlog, the Main Hoon Na filmmaker spoke at length about her admiration for Jackson.
Speaking exclusively, she said, “Shah Rukh was performing, and I had gone to choreograph for Shah Rukh, Aishwarya and all. That event sponsor told me Michael Jackson may come as the chief guest. I was standing in the wings, and Shah Rukh’s performance was about to begin when the sponsor told me that Michael Jackson was arriving. I immediately started heading over, and they said, ‘But ma’am, what about your performance?’ I replied, To hell with it. If Shah Rukh will be around when we return home.”
Later in the interaction, Khan shared details about her first meeting with the pop icon.
She added, “They took me to his room, and it was completely dark because he didn’t like bright lights and all. He was sitting in dim lights, and I am still getting goosebumps telling this. So soft spoken, he asked me, ‘What’s your name?’ and I said Farah Khan. He said, ‘such a powerful name”, and I then clicked a photo with him standing still, and then later cropped out the sponsors.”
The Om Shanti Om director, who recently earned widespread acclaim for her series, Campus Beats, is currently focused on her YouTube vlog.
