Farah revealed during her chat with IFTDA Official’s YouTube channel that Naseeruddin Shah’s casting in ‘Main Hoon Na’ was quite a journey.She teased that it’s a long story and joked that Naseer might not appreciate her divulging the details. Farah explained that initially, she approached Naseer for the villain‘s role, but he declined due to his moodiness. Later, when she needed someone to play Shah Rukh’s father, she approached Naseeruddin Shah again.
Farah recounted that she approached Naseeruddin Shah again, this time for a 10-day role as Shah Rukh’s father. Despite previous challenges, she persuaded him to take on the part. However, Naseer continued to be a handful during filming, prompting Farah to complete his scenes in just 6 days instead of the allocated 10.

In a recent conversation on Twin Encounter’s episode on Chinki Minki’s YouTube channel, Farah discussed changes in Bollywood, expressing her desire for one specific improvement. Reflecting on industry shifts, she highlighted the positive evolution in organization. Farah noted increased punctuality among people and the establishment of a structured studio system.
Farah expressed her concern, saying, “The negative change is that in the past, relationships played a big role in the industry. If I needed something, I could just call the actor directly. But now, it’s more formal. You have to go through layers of managers and agencies. So, it’s become very impersonal. Interpersonal relationships have suffered a bit.”
