Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan, and Sridevi-Boney Kapoor’s younger daughter Khushi Kapoor, are all set to make their theatrical debut with their upcoming film ‘Loveyapa’. Choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan recently reflected on her remarkable journey in Bollywood, from choreographing Aamir Khan and Sridevi to now, doing the same for the next generation of actors Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor.
Farah, who has been in the industry for decades, revealed the emotional connection she shares with the children of some of the biggest stars she once worked with. Speaking about choreographing Junaid Khan, the son of Aamir Khan, and Khushi Kapoor, daughter of the late Sridevi, Farah said, “It was a surreal experience because literally, I think I was working with Aamir in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar and after that Junaid was born. We all had gone to his house with Mansoor and everybody to congratulate him. Same with Sridevi also, I was quite close to her, Boney, and the whole Kapoor family. For me, it was very wonderful.”
Farah then added that it feels weird that she has been in this industry for so long. “I don’t feel it. It’s just that when I shoot with these guys, I realize that, oh my god, I started my career with Aamir and now I’m choreographing his son,” she said.
