Farah Khan on venturing into YouTube

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.”

The filmmaker-choreographer also spoke about how she wants to work till she’s 80, particularly because her job doesn’t depend on her looks. “Your life can’t revolve around another person. I feel happiness has to come from within and from your work. Work actually gives me a lot of pleasure. Also, I feel that for me, I can work till I’m 80 because my work doesn’t depend on either my looks or, clearly, not my body, ever,” she joked.
