Farah Khan's recent cooking vlog, filmed at the residence of Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi, has sparked laughter and lighthearted banter, particularly due to a humorous exchange between Farah and Javed. The celebrated filmmaker and choreographer visited her uncle, the renowned lyricist Javed Akhtar, and Shabana Azmi, for her vlog, which is known for capturing unfiltered conversations and unexpected moments alongside the culinary aspects.
During the vlog, Farah innocently inquired about the meaning of the Hindi word "ektalis". Javed Akhtar, visibly surprised, responded with playful humor, "41. Oh my God". He then playfully teased Farah for not knowing how to count in Hindi, remarking, "Hum jo gareeb Indians hain, usse ektalis bolte hain (we poor Indians call it ektalis)". This witty retort drew laughter from everyone present and those watching the vlog.
The incident quickly went viral, highlighting the camaraderie between Farah Khan and Javed Akhtar. The moment is being described as a classic example of Javed Akhtar's humor. Farah's vlogs are known for showcasing such candid and amusing interactions, making them more than just cooking shows.
In related news, an older video has resurfaced where Javed Akhtar revealed that Farah Khan had once requested him to pen meaningless lyrics for the song "Dard-e-disco" in the movie "Om Shanti Om". Akhtar shared that Farah wanted lyrics that were intentionally nonsensical to match the absurd situation in the film. He found it challenging to write gibberish intentionally, but ultimately succeeded in creating lyrics that were "fairly meaningless". "Dard-e-disco," sung by Sukhwinder Singh, became a popular track from the 2007 film.
