Farah Khan Talks About Taking Hair Vitamins After 50

“I used to be very thin till I had the kids. I had terrible skin, and I did not even use to go for a blow dry because I was working non-stop. We used to shoot day shifts and night shifts altogether,” admitted Farah, who shares triplets – Czar, Diva and Anya – with her husband, Shirish Kunder.

The filmmaker shared that it was only after turning 50 that she began paying regular visits to a dermatologist. “After I hit 50, I visit a skin doctor and regularly take hair vitamins,” she said.

The Om Shanti Om director also recalled a moment from a family vacation when a woman mistook her husband for her son.

“Once we had taken the kids on holiday, and I was literally overweight, and a lady came. Shirish was there, and she said, ‘Can I clean your room? Can you ask your son (Shirish) to leave?' And Shirish just laughed. He went and told the kids, ‘They thought I was your brother,'” said the filmmaker.
