Meet man who directed only 4 films, all of them were flops, now works as..., is married to a star, his name is..., his wife is...
Farah Khan is one of India's renowned and best directors and writers. From Main Hoon Na (2004), Om Shanti Om (2007), Tees Maar Khan (2010) to Happy New Year (2014), Farah has given several hit films to the Bollywood industry. While today, everyone knows Farah and her work, many are still unaware of her husband. In 2004. Let us tell you that Farah married a director and choreographer. Later the couple was blessed with triplets. Farah Khan's husband preferred to stay away from the limelight. In his career, he directed four movies and produced three. However, all four of the films directed by him turned out to be a flop. If you are wondering who Farah Khan's husband is, then let us tell you we are discussing Shirish Kunder. Born in Mangalore and brought up in Mumbai, Shirish Kunder studied Electronics & Telecommunications Engineering at the SDM College of Engineering and Technology in Dharwad. Since he became an engineer, he worked at Motorola for four years before changing profession. In 2006, Shirish Kunder took a leap of faith and became a director and directed his first project Jaan-E-Mann, starring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Preity Zinta. However, all his hopes of being a director went in vain when the movie turned out to be a huge flop. Shirish's second directorial venture was Joker starring Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, and Shreyas Talpade. His third directorial venture was an 18-minute short film called Kriti, a psychological thriller starring Manoj Bajpayee, Radhika Apte, and Neha Sharma. All these films did not do well at the box office. Post the failures of the films, Shirish stayed away from the industry. Today marks the 52nd birthday of Shirish, and on the occasion of his birthday, Farah shared a goofy note about him on Instagram which read, 'Being called 'weird' is like being a Limited Edition… it just means you're something people don't see often! So happy birthday @shirishkunder stay weird! We love you just the way you are.' Take a look here:
