Farah Khan says she wanted to marry at 23 but ‘dushman' mom was against it, talks about husband Shirish Kunder: ‘Grateful I married at 40'
The conversation took a surprising turn when 23-year-old Apoorva shared that she was already thinking about marriage. Farah, shocked, instantly reacted, 'Don't ever get married so young.' She then got real about her own past and revealed how she, too, wanted to tie the knot at 23.
'At 23, I wanted to get married. I thought my life is now over. 'Kya hi hai life mein?' And my mom was like, 'If you get married so young, I will throw you out of my house.' I cried and created a scene. I said, 'Other parents want their daughters to get married and you are my dushman.''
Reflecting on it now, Farah said, 'But today, I am grateful that I got married around 40. I am very happy. I have three beautiful children. A good husband. At 40, you do whatever you want.'
Shirish Kunder is a filmmaker and editor. After working on 21 films as its editor, Shirish made his directorial debut with Jaan-E-Mann. He met Farah when she made her directorial debut with Main Hoon Na. Their marriage made headlines as Farah was 8 years older to Shirish.
Apoorva then asked a practical question: 'But if I find someone now, so can I get married to him after dating him for 5–6 years?'
Farah smiled and said, 'There is no date to get married.' She added warmly, 'You are just 23. Your mind will grow—' To which Apoorva jokingly interrupted, 'My mind stopped growing at 13.'
In the same vlog, the two also talked about Farah's unexpected shift from making big Bollywood films to creating YouTube vlogs. Apoorva asked if she enjoys it, and Farah beamed, 'I have too much fun. If people come in time, it gets over in 2 hours.'
She went on to explain how she got into the YouTube space. 'I had written scripts for films but then I thought, I will have to wait for dates of the actors. This gives me anxiety. People think, once you become famous, there is no stress. But that's not true. Even the biggest of stars get anxious.'
Farah shared that multiple offers had come her way to start something on YouTube, but she had her own terms.
'I finally agreed but with a condition. I said, 'I will do this, but something of my own kind. It won't be a talk show or podcast. I don't want to run behind celebrities and struggle with their managers. I will take my cook and start a cooking vlog.' And it worked!'
She added, 'By the time we did our second vlog, we received a silver button. Then we even received a gold. It worked well for us. Dilip and I started to have fun. Initially, it was just the both of us.'

Farah says ever since she gas got into the YouTube business, she has found joy and balance in her new routine.
'I haven't done movies in a very long time now. But with movies, two years of your life goes into it. You can't do anything apart from that. But with vlogs, I have a life. I can do this and also spend time with my kids, go watch a movie, and chill with friends and travel.'
She also highlighted how far-reaching YouTube fame can be. 'We went to SOHO House, and all these rich people came up to us and said, 'We love watching your YouTube vlogs. We love Dilip.' And later, even the watchman of the place was watching our vlog. And so was the driver. The fanbase is much more. I am enjoying YouTube, and there's lots of money in it, which we didn't know. If only we knew this, we would have started it much earlier.'
Farah laughed, pointing at Dilip, 'Dekho paisa tapak raha hai iske mooh se.'
In true Farah style, the vlog ended with a humorous twist—she made Apoorva do the dishes. 'This is how they treat outsiders in Bollywood,' Apoorva joked. Farah responded, 'I also make the insiders do the dishes.'

FaZe Clan July 4th party recap: All viral controversies, streamer drama, comebacks, beefs, and more!
(Image via @FaZeAdaptLive/YouTube) Every July 4th brings fireworks, but this year, FaZe Clan's explosive Independence Day party in LA set the internet on fire in more ways than one. What started as a mega gathering of streamers, creators, and online icons quickly turned into a headline-worthy spectacle filled with viral moments, unexpected reunions, confrontations, and drama. Here's a breakdown of everything that had the internet talking. 1. A Star-Studded Chaos Streamed Live From Twitch to Twitter, FaZe's July 4th bash dominated timelines. Not only did top-tier creators like Extra Emily, Plaqueboymax, and Sakura Shymko make appearances, but streamers from OTK, OTV, and even YouTube influencers joined the madness. With multiple livestreams running simultaneously and cameras everywhere, the party became one big unfiltered reality show — broadcast straight to the internet. 2. 'Jakura' Kiss Breaks the Internet Nothing got fans more excited than a surprise 'Jakura' moment, the now-fan-favorite duo Jason (Jasontheween) and Sakura Shymko. During a casual photo op, Sakura gave Jason a kiss on the cheek, sending him into an adorable meltdown on stream. 'Oh my God… ain't no way bruh,' Jason exclaimed as he blushed and walked off-camera. The moment went instantly viral, with fans fueling relationship rumors and clipping the interaction from every angle. "Jakura" just became the ship of the season. 3. NotQuiteLikeDub vs. FaZe Security One of the more awkward moments of the night involved streamer NotQuiteLikeDub. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Our one of a kind Patented Cold Water Extraction Process Superior Ginseng Undo While others freely streamed the party, Dub was told by FaZe security to stop broadcasting or leave. 'If I can't stream it, I can't be here,' he said before walking out. Plaqueboymax Returns To Stream 4. Plaqueboymax's Unexpected Return After a month-long hiatus from streaming, FaZe's own Plaqueboymax made a surprise appearance that had fans buzzing. Though he didn't go live himself, Max popped up in multiple livestreams, most notably in an emotional moment with fellow FaZe member Lacy. 'We gon' take a shot, I swear to God…' Max said as he warmed up to the party vibe. Extra Emily also fangirled during her interaction with Max, making it one of the most rewatched clips of the night. 5. Wendy Ortiz Caught in Late-Night Altercation As night fell, the mood shifted. Streamer Wendy Ortiz was caught on camera in a heated altercation outside the FaZe house. 'Get the fk out of here, bch, you're f**king weird!' she shouted at another attendee. Security intervened quickly, separating Wendy and the other woman before things escalated further. Wendy's sister Evelyn also joined in, adding fuel to the fire. Fortunately, things were defused before any real damage was done — but not before clips of the incident blew up online. 6. Extra Emily and Stable Ronaldo's Tense-but-Playful Face-Off In a semi-spicy, mostly-funny exchange, Extra Emily confronted Stable Ronaldo poolside, demanding compensation for 'five hate threads.' He replied with 'How about five apologies?' and actually delivered. What could've been a tense feud turned into a quirky apology segment, reminding everyone: streamers are way too online — even at parties. Viral Clips Take Over Twitch and TikTok By the end of the night, FaZe's party had taken over the internet. At one point, 4 of the top 8 most-viewed Twitch clips in 24 hours came directly from the party. TikTok wasn't far behind — short clips of Jason and Sakura, Max's cameos, and Wendy's altercation racked up millions of views within hours. Stay tuned. Because if this is how FaZe celebrates freedom, the next party might just break the internet all over again. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.
