Farah Khan Turns YouTuber After 11 Years, Gains 3M Subscribers

Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan, known for hits like Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om, and Tees Maar Khan, has embraced a new creative path on YouTube after an 11-year hiatus from directing films.

Farah started her YouTube journey in April 2024 with cooking vlogs featuring herself and her cook Dilip. The series quickly gained popularity, amassing almost 3 million subscribers, while her Instagram following grew to 4.5 million.

On the latest episode of Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, Farah, 60, revealed the motivation behind starting her channel. “Even when my movie was not happening, when I wasn't directing, I said chal (come on), let me do YouTube, because I can see the skew. Also, I have 3 kids who go to university next year, and that's bloody expensive. So I just said for a lark, let me start a show on YouTube, and that just clicked,” she shared, referring to her 17-year-old triplets Czar, Anya, and Diva, whom she shares with filmmaker-husband Shirish Kunder.

Farah emphasized her passion for work and creative freedom. “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 added.

The upcoming episode of Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, also featuring actor Ananya Panday, will release on Prime Video on Thursday at midnight.
