Farah Khan reveals film industry 'celebrated' Tees Maar Khan's failure, people said: 'Ab aayi na line pe'
Farah opens about Tees Maar Khan's failure
In her latest YouTube vlog, filmed at the home of producer Jackky Bhagnani and actor Rakul Preet Singh, Farah shared candid memories. She chatted with Jackky and her longtime cook, Dilip. As the conversation turned toward professional setbacks, Farah reflected on the negative response from industry insiders following the release of the Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif-starrer.
'In our industry, more than being happy for your success, people are happier for others' failure. I remember when Tees Maar Khan was released, there was literally a celebration in the film industry. People I had worked with were saying things like, 'Ab aayi na line pe' (Now she's been put in her place),' Farah said.
Despite the initial backlash, Farah shared that Tees Maar Khan has found new life with a younger audience. "Tees Maar Khan is a legend with Gen Z. They don't care for my other films. They think that (Tees Maar Khan) is the one," Farah said.
Jackky also opened up about the box office disappointment of his 2024 film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and drawing strength from the resilience of his father, producer Vashu Bhagnani. Jackky shared that his father once sold sarees on the footpath before making it big in Bollywood.
About Tees Maar Khan
Released in 2010, Tees Maar Khan was a heist comedy that arrived with major buzz, thanks in part to chart-topping songs like Sheila Ki Jawani. However, the film was critically panned and failed to perform at the box office, disappointing fans and the film's star-studded cast alike.

Blake Lively drops YouTuber subpoenas while Justin Baldoni case escalates
In a surprise plot twist worthy of a Netflix thriller, Blake Lively has officially called off her subpoena storm against three YouTubers who found themselves tangled in her explosive legal drama with It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni. Yep, the Gossip Girl star has hit pause on what many called a digital witch hunt. Blake Lively's YouTube subpoena saga just got a plot twist According to court documents revealed on 26 July, Lively's team informed the judge they would no longer pursue subpoenas against YouTube creators Kassidy O'Connell, McKenzie Folks, and Lauren Neidigh. The original subpoenas had demanded juicy details like bank account and credit card info, a legal move that sent shockwaves through the creator community. No further info needed, for now In a formal letter to the judge, Lively's legal squad stated that based on what these creators had already shared publicly and during legal exchanges, there was no need to push further. Translation? These three YouTubers are off the subpoena hook, at least for now. Her team stressed that the subpoenas were part of a standard evidence-gathering process. They were trying to trace whether Baldoni's camp orchestrated an 'untraceable' smear campaign using online platforms like YouTube and X (formerly Twitter). Creators clapped back, loud and clear Before the withdrawal, O'Connell and Neidigh had both fired back with fierce letters to the court, accusing Lively's legal team of harassment and intimidation. O'Connell claimed there was zero legal basis for the subpoena and said Lively was stretching discovery with no real evidence. Neidigh slammed it as burdensome and invasive. Even though these three creators are out of the crosshairs, Lively's team is still digging deep into other digital corners. They are determined to connect the dots between Baldoni's PR strategy and a potential smear campaign allegedly designed to silence her. Lively vs Baldoni: The showdown continues Lively's lawsuit alleges sexual harassment and retaliation by Baldoni during the making of It Ends With Us. Baldoni has denied all claims, reportedly hiring a crisis PR team to handle the fallout. While the subpoena drama cools down for some, the main event is heating up, Blake and Justin are set to face off in court on 9 March 2026. So, while this chapter closes, the battle is far from over. Grab popcorn, Gen Z, because this legal drama is far from its season finale.
