Choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan recently got candid about her personal life in a way only she can. The celebrated director appeared on the premiere episode of tennis star Sania Mirza’s podcast, ‘Serving It Up With Sania’, where she shared some of her toughest moments, including her struggles with IVF.
Farah revealed that she experienced heartbreak twice during her IVF journey. “I failed twice in IVF. I used to just be crying and crying,” she admitted. She added that the intense hormonal treatments made the experience even more emotional.
“It’s also because of the hormones that are pumped in. I used to cry at the drop of a hat. And I was also shooting ‘Om Shanti Om’ at the same time,” she said.

Talking about her marriage with Shirish Kunder, she joked, “Shirish and I are secure in our marriage and we don’t need to hold hands on the red carpet. Maybe actors will get angry with me now.”
‘Serving It Up With Sania’ produced by IVM Podcasts brings out the human side of celebrities. The show blends sports, storytelling, and personal experiences.
Farah also opened up about friendships and the challenges of living in the public eye. She admitted that being completely honest can sometimes strain relationships. “I just feel that it has been challenging to be unapologetically honest and true while being in the public eye. Sometimes I do tend to offend some of my friends and I realize I don’t always have to tell them the truth,” she said.
Meanwhile, Farah continues to explore unique stories outside of interviews. In a recent episode of her YouTube series, she visited actress Diana Penty’s ancestral home in South Bombay.
