Farah Khan shares her struggle to conceive during ‘Om Shanti Om’: ‘sobbed in front of Shah Rukh Khan...”

Farah Khan is a woman of many talents, but beyond her professional achievements, she is a loving mother to her three children. The Bollywood director has opened up about her struggle in conceiving and the role played by Shah Rukh Khan during her tough time.

Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are known to be close friends, but recently Farah Khan opened up about Shah Rukh Khan’s role in her journey of motherhood. In an interview on the Nova IVF Fertility YouTube channel, Farah talked about her experience of conceiving through IVF.

Farah conceived when she was shooting ‘Om Shanti Om’ and said that she would visit the clinic before and after the shoot. She revealed that after she initially failed to conceive, she would cry on her way back. She said, “For the first five-six months, there were only lows, because they were retrieving eggs and planting them, and I don’t know how many times I must have gone under general anesthesia. The first time I went to the doc I was so sure that I was pregnant, but I literally got my period in her office. So I used to be sobbing all the way back to the shoot. One day, in the middle of the day, I got a call from the doctor, and she said it’s not happened this time. We were shooting a comic scene, and Shah Rukh knew something was wrong, because I was going to cry. So, he called for a break and took me into his van, where I’ve sobbed for one hour.”

Farah Khan said that after her mother, Shah Rukh was the first person to know she had conceived. She said that they were shooting for ‘Om Shanti Om’ and SRK being the gentleman he is, went all out to make her comfortable on the sets. “We still had to finish Darde-e-Disco, and every time he’d remove his shirt I would throw up. He would keep a bucket next to me. He was very sweet, he ordered this lazy boy couch, instead of the director’s chair, so that I could lie down with a mic and shout at people,” Farah added.

Talking about the day she gave birth, Farah said that over 30 people crowded into the delivery room to witness a triplet birth. “Shah Rukh came the same day to the hospital and there was a stampede. The patients have come out with their IV drips and Shah Rukh khada hai,” Farah shared.

Farah Khan, who’s married to Shirish Kunder, gave birth to her triplets- Czar, Diva and Anya in 2008. Farah and SRK also hit a rough patch a few years after her children’s birth, but the old friends patched up soon.
