While Farah Khan has often shared pictures of her twins from their childhood on social media, the filmmaker has largely refrained from posting recent photos with her children. The filmmaker and YouTuber has three children with husband Shirish Kunder: triplets named Diva, Anya, and Czar. In her latest YouTube vlog with Lock Upp 2 contestant Akanksha Choudhary, Farah shared that her daughters have concerns about their appearance.

What did Farah say?

In the vlog, Farah asked Akanksha about her journey in the industry so far. Akanksha, who has participated in pageants before entering Splitsvilla, shared that she was not as confident before. She candidly shared, “Main toh mujhe sabse ugly lagti thi duniya mei (I used to find myself the ugliest in the entire world).” Akanksha then showed Farah her old pictures from her teenage years and said she had been very insecure as a young girl. To this, Farah replied, “Please meet my daughters then! Even they feel that they are very ugly.” Akanksha said that she has met them and they are very cute.

Akanksha then added that now she has become much more confident as a woman, even without makeup. Farah said that she looked beautiful in Lock Upp while bare-faced. Farah also admitted that she was ‘horrified’ when Akanksha showed her other side on the show and threw water on Shreya Kalra's bedsheet and picked an ugly fight with her.

In May, Farah posted photos from the graduation ceremony at Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai as her children officially graduated. They will start their university studies this year.

Farah talks about her kids' education

Last year, in an episode of Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, Farah spoke about how she had no movies and wasn’t directing, so she decided to try out YouTube. She also candidly admitted that sending three children to college is expensive, a challenge that her new career helps alleviate. “Even when my movie was not happening, when I wasn’t directing, I said chal (come on), let me do YouTube. Also, I have 3 kids who will go to university next year, and that’s bloody expensive,” she said, adding, “So I just said for a change, let me start a show on YouTube, and that just clicked.”
