Mumbai: Farah Khan says her family has supported her in her acting debut ‘Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi’, but she isn`t sure if her husband Shirish Kunder would go and see the film.
"Shirish, of course, encouraged me a lot, but I don`t know whether he is ready to see the movie because he is not one of the husbands who would enjoy watching his wife holding hands with someone else. So I am not pushing him for it," Farah said here.
Her kids - triplets son Czar, and daughters Diva and Anya - gave mixed reactions to her new role as an actress.
"My kids are too young (4 years old), but my son didn`t like watching me wearing a skirt and dancing around. He couldn`t handle it. He used to say `Yeh mumma nahi chahiye (I don`t want this mother)`.
"So I used to go home and remove all the make up. The girls were very excited and said `Wear this only`, but my son used to get very psyched," she said.
The choreographer-turned-director-turned-actress says she had to step out of her comfort zone to essay Shirin in the film.
"To look like Shirin was not my comfort zone. Wearing Parsi ladies` clothes... I was at the fattest for that movie and nobody asked me to lose weight. I just said I will tell people I was asked to put on weight for the role, but that is not true," she said.
Farah also could not relate to the make-up, heels, costumes and "sitting with the fake nails".
Directed by Bela Sehgal, ‘Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi’ features Boman Irani opposite Farah. The film will release Aug 24.
