Filmmaker Farah Khan says even though she does not mind too much when she faces trolling on social media, she reveals why she does not put out pictures of her children on social media during any festival.
Farah was in conversation with actor Arbaaz Khan for his chat show 'Pinch By Arbaaz Khan'.
Farah said, "It really irritates me, asking whether my children are Hindu or Muslim. Earlier I used to post my children's photo for Diwali and Eid, I have stopped doing that. I don't post pictures during religious festivals...it's very sad, but I don't do it." She pointed out how her kids were trolled over their religious beliefs.
Farah says that she gets slammed online even if she says ‘hello’, with trolls asking why she did not choose to say ‘namaste’ or ‘salaam’.
She then reads out a troll comment about her triplets, Diva, Anya and Czar: “Moti ke bachche itne sukhe kyun (Why are the fatty’s children so skinny)?” She hit back, “Sun, tu tere bachchon ko sambhaal, main mere bachchon ko sambhaal lungi (Listen, you take care of your kids, I’ll look after mine).”
Farah also discussed the fractious topic of nepotism in Bollywood.”Aap bolte ho nepotism and all that but dekhni toh aapko Shah Rukh Khan ki beti (Suhana Khan) ki photo, ya Kareena ka bete ki photo (You complain about nepotism but you want to see only Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter’s photos or Kareena Kapoor’s son’s picture),” she says.
Even though the filmmaker delivered several commercial potboilers, reacting to how she still gets trolled for her film 'Tees Maar Khan', she said, "People have done far worse movies, people have done far worse work, and you're still stuck with that (Tees Maar Khan)."
