Farah Khan, cook Dilip make Shah Rukh Khan chop onions, ask Kiara Advani to shell peas; here's how the stars' got even. Watch new ad
Directed by Farah Khan herself, the ad opens with the trio on set, ready to shoot a big-budget commercial for Myntra. But Farah made the stars do everything but the work for which they were there. 'Arre aisa offer, iski ad banana ki kya zarurat hai (Why make an ad for an offer like this)?' says the director while she makes Shah Rukh and Kiara do their bidding as they had anyway signed the contract. Farah is joined by her favourite celebrity househelp, Dilip, who is acting as her assistant on the set.

A post shared by KIARA (@kiaraaliaadvani)
Shah Rukh Khan is seen tearing up as Farah makes him chop onions while Kiara shells peas. At this, Dilip jokes, 'Sir, Kal Ho Naa Ho ka climax yaad aa gaya.' Not happy with how the onions have been chopped, he returns to SRK and asks him to do a better job, as directed by Farah. Kiara is meanwhile made to play dumb charades with Farah's team on the set. Farah, meanwhile, adds that she is very clear that actors have to do what the director says. She also makes the two stars do a saree ad for 'Dilip ke dost ke papa ki dukaan (saree showroom owned by father of Dilip's friend)'.
From cutting onions, playing dumb charades to posing in his trademark step with crew members, SRK and Kiara can be seen doing everything. But at the end of the clip, Farah is also asked to choreograph sangeet of an employee's relative because she too is on the 'contract'. This funny twist made SRK and Kiara sit back with popcorn, enjoying Farah's impromptu dance choreography.
Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan recently did another commercial for Dark Fantasy.

Farah Khan takes a sarcastic ‘swim' jibe after heavy rains leave Mumbai streets waterlogged
Heavy rains in Mumbai on Saturday left the city streets waterlogged, affecting traffic in several areas. Filmmaker Farah Khan, who had stepped out of her home on a rainy day, also encountered a traffic snag on an inundated street. However, Farah, with her sense of humour, shared a short clip of a waterlogged street on her Instagram story, and sarcastically wrote: 'Anyone for a morning swim?' In the Instagram story, filmed from inside her car, Farah noticed a waterlogged stretch where the road was completely submerged by rainwater. The sight of a line of autos waiting by the roadside made the street look more like a stream than a busy Mumbai lane. Farah Khan also gave a nostalgic twist to her Instagram story with an evergreen Kishore Kumar track – Nadiya Se Dariya. Farah Khan's IG story The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for Mumbai and its surrounding areas on Saturday. The IMD predicted thunderstorms and lightning with gusty winds of up to 40 kmph and said heavy rains (more than 15 mm per hour) were very likely over the Mumbai Suburban area. A red alert was also issued for Thane, Raigad, Ratnagiri, Aurangabad, Jalna, Beed, Nanded, Parbhani, and Hingoli districts in Maharashtra. The rainfall is likely to continue tomorrow as the IMD predicted Mumbai rains till August 19, issuing an orange alert. Taking note of the incessant rains, the BMC appealed to citizens to avoid stepping out of their homes. 'Special attention is being given to critical services such as the rainwater drainage system, sewage system, and pumping stations, with necessary measures being promptly implemented to ensure there are no disruptions in the drainage of rainwater,' it added. The downpour began around 1 am on Saturday and continued into the early hours of the day, causing waterlogging in low-lying areas of the western and eastern suburbs, including Vikhroli, Ghatkopar, Bhandup, Chunabhatti, Aarey, Andheri, Kings Circle, Malad, and Goregaon, among others.

‘From dreamy mornings to filmy nights…': ‘Param Sundari' Janhvi Kapoor walks us through a working day in her life
'From dreamy mornings to filmy nights of #BheegiSaree… here's what a day in Sundari's world looks like,' Janhvi Kapoor captioned her Instagram post as she walked us through a day in her life while filming for an upcoming movie. 'I've been working out really hard,' said the Param Sundari actor, while filming a song sequence. She drank a pre-workout protein smoothie, did her skincare, and got ready for a session. After a grueling Pilates session and killing it on the treadmill, she indulged in fried Halloumi cheese with a Cajun dip. Next, she applied a DIY face mask and then dunked her face in ice water to brighten up her skin. Let's decode her filming prep: Gaurav Thakur, strength and conditioning coach at Somaiya Sports Academy, Somaiya Vidyavihar University, told that cardio helps burn calories, while Pilates improves mobility, flexibility, core strength, and balance. However, Thakur warns, 'If you do Pilates before cardio, your stabiliser muscles will be fatigued, preventing you from performing cardio exercises later effectively.' Thakur recommended a light pre-workout meal 40-60 minutes before exercising, avoiding fats as they take longer to digest. For optimal benefits, he advised Pilates and cardio twice a week. Kapoor started by taking curd with an extra layer of malai, honey, and mashed bananas in a bowl. Mixing it well together, she applied it to her clean face. Next, she squeezed an orange and applied its juice to the mask, gently rubbing it across her face. After washing the mask off, she applied almond oil under her eyes. Explaining its efficacy, consultant dermatologist Dr Aanchal Panth noted that while it is a hydrating mask, applying orange on the face is not recommended. 'This is a good mask, especially if you have dry skin, as it will help in moisturising — thanks to the malai,' she said, however, pointing out that scrubbing orange juice on the face can be very irritating to the skin. 'It can sensitise your skin towards UV rays, especially if you are someone with sensitive skin or dark spots. Avoid this completely,' she added. As for the almond oil, Dr Panth explained that it can be applied under the eyes as well as on the whole face, especially after the trauma done by the orange; it acts as a good moisturiser. However, it's essential to consider your skin type, allergies, and individual concerns before incorporating this remedy into your skincare routine. Consulting with a dermatologist or skincare professional can also provide personalised recommendations tailored to your specific needs. Dr Sonali Kohli, Consultant Dermatologist and Venereologist, Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre, said that the idea behind ice facial treatment is that the cold temperature constricts blood vessels, which can reduce inflammation and puffiness in the skin, as well as temporarily tighten pores and create a brighter complexion. 'The science behind ice facial is based on the physiological effects of cold temperature on the skin. When your skin is exposed to cold temperatures, the blood vessels in the skin constrict, reducing blood flow to the area. This can cause a temporary reduction in inflammation and puffiness, as well as a tightening of the pores and skin'. While there is no harm in trying out this trend, it may not provide long-term skin benefits. 'It is generally safe to try an ice water facial, but there are some things to keep in mind. First, be sure to use clean, sterile water to avoid introducing bacteria to your skin. Also, avoid holding your face in the ice water for too long, as this can damage the skin and blood vessels,' she advised. Janhvi Kapoor is a fitness enthusiast in the truest sense. Her stellar physique and washboard abs are a testament to her dedication to fitness. Despite her busy schedule, she makes it a point to maintain a proper fitness regimen, which keeps her active and healthy. If you want to take inspiration from her fitness routine, read on.

‘Anyone For A Morning Swim?': Farah Khan's Witty Take On Mumbai Rains
Last Updated: Farah Khan shares a glimpse of Mumbai's waterlogged streets after heavy overnight rainfall. On Friday night, Mumbai and its suburbs witnessed a relentless spell of heavy showers, with several areas recording more than 200 mm of rainfall in the early hours of Saturday. While the sudden downpour brought the city to a halt, causing waterlogging and traffic snarls, filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan decided to capture a glimpse of the condition and share it with fans. Taking to Instagram Stories on Saturday, Farah shared a video giving a peek into the city's rain-soaked streets. Farah Khan Steps Out Of Her Home After Rainfall The video shared on her official handle is captured by Farah from inside of her car. The clip, filmed from inside her car, shows a waterlogged stretch where the road appears almost submerged. The sight of a line of autos waiting by the roadside made the street look more like a stream than a busy Mumbai lane. Never missing a chance to add humour, Farah captioned the story with a witty line: 'Anyone for a morning swim??" Her witty take on the otherwise chaotic scene instantly connected with fans who are used to her candid updates. Farah Khan Adds Kishore Kumar's Classic To Her Monsoon Clip To give her video a nostalgic twist, Farah chose an evergreen Kishore Kumar track as the background score. She added Nadiya Se Dariya, from the 1973 Hrishikesh Mukherjee directorial Namak Haram. The song, composed by R.D. Burman and sung by Kishore Kumar, remains an iconic melody. The film featured stalwarts like Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, A.K. Hangal, Simi Garewal and Asrani. By choosing this particular number, Farah effortlessly blended her humorous post with a touch of old-school Bollywood charm. Mumbai Rains: City Under Red Alert Meanwhile, Mumbai continues to reel under the impact of the heavy downpour. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for the city, warning of extremely heavy rainfall for the next two days. Several low-lying areas, including Vikhroli, Ghatkopar, Andheri, Bhandup, Kings Circle, Malad and Goregaon, have reported severe waterlogging, making it difficult for residents to commute. The local train services, often described as the city's lifeline, were also disrupted due to flooding on tracks. Farah Khan's Career As a Choreographer and Filmmaker While her humorous posts often go viral, Farah Khan's stature in Bollywood goes far beyond social media. With a career spanning over three decades, she has choreographed more than a hundred songs across 80 films and has been the creative force behind some of Hindi cinema's most memorable dance sequences. Her work has fetched her numerous accolades, including the National Film Award for Best Choreography and seven Filmfare Awards in the same category. In 2004, Farah made her directorial debut with Main Hoon Na, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Sushmita Sen, and proved her mettle behind the camera. She went on to direct commercial hits like Om Shanti Om, Tees Maar Khan and Happy New Year, cementing her reputation as one of Bollywood's most versatile talents. Apart from films, she has been a familiar face on Indian television, often invited as a judge on shows like Indian Idol, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, India's Got Talent, Nach Baliye and Zee Comedy Show. Currently, Farah also connects with her fans through her YouTube vlog channel, where she collaborates with her cook, Dilip, to visit the homes of celebrities. The duo prepares food together, engages in fun conversations, and often reveals candid, lesser-known sides of stars, much to the delight of viewers.
