However, Farah pointed out that the two of them have also fought multiple times in the past. Manish explained the rest.

When Farah asked Manish to say something about her, he agreed and began, “Farah, the choreographer and the director are two different people. Farah, the choreographer, is used to really comment, ‘Ye kya he? Aey ye kaise he?’ ‘Ye costume kaisa he? (What is this? Is it a costume?)’ One day, I got upset and I walked out of the set. Because there was this Juhi Chawla song- Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, and she was like, ‘This grey kurta is not moving!’ I was like, ‘You are always commenting!’”

When Manish brought up another example, from the shoot of Fevicol Se (starring Kareena Kapoor), Farah said, “I remember he got very angry with me, and did not pick up my call for two days!”

How is Farah as a director?

Farah has choreographed multiple songs, in which Manish's designs were used. As a director, Farah has directed Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om, and Happy New Year.
