Farah Khan spills the beans on mother-in-law


Mumbai, Aug 14 (IANS): Director-choreographer Farah Khan praises her mother-in-law Geetanjali Kunder for her support and culinary skills, but rues that the latter cooks only for her son and grandchildren.


Farah Khan with Shirish Kunder

Choreographer-filmmaker Farah is married to director-producer Shirish Kunder.

Farah, who judges "DID Super Moms", was joined by her mother-in-law on the set of the dance reality show. Geetanjali brought idli-chutney for Farah and her co-judges Mithun Chakraborty and Master Marzi Pestonji.

During the saas (mother-in-law) special episode, Farah revealed things she loves and hates about her mother-in-law.

"My sasu maa (mother-in-law) cooks lovely food, but it is so annoying that every time she cooks something, I never find my share in any of it. It is like she only cooks for her son and grandchildren!" Farah, a mother of three children, said.

Farah feels left out when Geetanjali talks to her son (Shirish) in Tulu, spoken in Mangalore where she hails from.

"Whenever she and Shirish are together in a room, they begin to talk in Tulu, which for all that I understand of Tulu could very well be Greek or Latin," said the director of "Main Hoon Na".

"However, she is also one of the sweetest people I know. Whenever I am not around, she is the one who looks after my babies. I do not think I would be able to work as much as I do if she wasn’t a part of our lives. I also tend to call her daadi (grandmother), which is something she doesn’t like one bit,” she added.

    Dear all readers, just a small comment on this news. First of all we,(Dakshina Kannada population)should be happy that our own boy Shirish Kunder has won the heart of a hindi native lady Farah who is so popular in glomour world,(She is much more popular than Shirish) where as our other celebrity girls go out of our Tulu naad and got married to outsiders like Aishwarya Rai, Shilpa Shetty, Vivek oberoi's wife (Alva),singer Shweta Shetty(Tote tote ho gaya fame,Pooja Shetty-deora, Genelia Dsouza-Deshmukh why?....because we do not have any eligible boys in Karnataka or bcs these girls did not find any rich peope here? Its all money. Paisa bolta hai.So we should be proud that one North Indian BAHU coming to dakshina Kannada.

    Why always husband should be older than wife ?.
    In Mumbai in many Parsi families & Dawoodi Bohra Muslim families, I have seen many couples where wife is nearly 10-12 years older than Husband, and their family life is very very cordial. If husband is older than wife even by Twenty years the people do not find it a mis-match, but when wife is even two years older than Husband people get surprised. Why ?
    Kasturba Gandhi was three years older than her husband Mahatma Gandhi. But Phiroze Gandhi was 30 years older than Indira Gandhi.
    In our history we see many Saints & Prophets & Kings married women much older than themselves. Egyptian History says that Pheros of Egypt married either their own elder sister or even step mother ( Read the story of Cleopatra).

    Tulu is a dying language. Just observe Mumbai-Tuluvas when they come to Native Tulunadu once in a year for some family festival. All girls prefer speaking in English loudly as if they are born to a British, and boys are more comfortable with Hindi mixed with English & Tulu.
    ( Till today I could not understand why women are more infatuated with English language, whether they are celebrities or ordinary woman, whether from North or South India).
    Even when these new generation Tuluvas who are born & bought up in Mumbai/Pune speak Tulu,their accent is very funny.

    Ladies are infatuated not only with speaking English but even infatuated with Mobile Phones. Nearly 70% of the income of cell phone companies come from women subscribers as disclosed by Phone companies themselves. What may be the psychological reasons for these weaknesses ?

    Don't get disheartened with the accent. When in Mumbai, the accent gets modified to marathi or hindi. Its the same case with Konkani too. The Mumbaites speak konkani in a different accent.

    Best time to teach mother tongue to our children is up to the age of 5 years (before they venture out of the house). If we waste this time speaking to them in other than our mother tongue, then a golden chance is lost. It is difficult in this case as Farah Khan & Shirish can not converse in Tulu...!!!???

    Power of tulu is when two or more tulu speaking people come-together, they will forget all languages they knw and converse in Tulu. Farah KhaN - YOU ARE TOO LAte to realize after choosing Mr.Kunder as partner. Just see how Aishu baby is treating her hubby n in-laws.... Aishu baby n shilpa aunty are helpless bcz in their families no one is there to speak in tulu.
