Farah Khan reminisced about meeting Aparshakti Khurana during Om Shanti Om promotions, expressing initial doubts about his film career.

Bollywood brothers Ayushmann Khurrana and Aparshakti Khurana have both carved a niche for themselves in the industry, winning audiences over with their natural performances and impeccable comic timing.

Farah recently visited Aparshakti’s Mumbai home for one of her popular cooking vlogs, accompanied by her cook Dilip. During the visit, she gave viewers a tour of the actor’s house, describing its aesthetic as a blend of a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film set and her own Om Shanti Om. The aesthetic interiors and dramatic design clearly impressed her.

During the vlog, Farah reminisced about the first time she met Aparshakti, back when he was working as a radio jockey. She revealed that their paths crossed during the promotions of Om Shanti Om. Recalling her initial impression, she admitted she had her doubts about his transition to films. “Jab yeh filmon mein aa raha tha, mujhe laga tha RJ kaise hi aayega, but he’s done so well yaar. Not only that, he has become such a good actor too (When he was entering films, I wondered how a radio jockey would manage, but he has done really well. Not only that, he has also become such a good actor),” she said.

The conversation took a humorous turn when Farah compared the Khurrana brothers. Turning to Aparshakti, she said, “Ayushmann is there, of course, but sometimes I feel your comic timing is better than his. Sorry, Ayushmann.” Her playful remark left Aparshakti laughing.
