Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar on high and low points of his life, movies, fashion and more.

Birthday
January 9

Capricorn

Place of birth
Mumbai

School
Maneckji Cooper, Mumbai

High point of your life
Ladakh’s Taglang La Pass 17,856 ft above sea level. We were shooting for Lakshya

Low point of your life

When I went scuba diving below sea level

Currently I am...
The brand ambassador for Dulux

The worst thing about being Farhan Akhtar?
I’m a bit of an extremist.

Things you wish you had done at 21.

I wish I’d got my driving license at 18, not 22. I also wish I had graduated earlier, even though I didn’t finish college.  

The first unhealthy food you ate after wrapping up Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
The last shot of the film took place on a beach. I went to the closest bar-café and had a tall glass of Gideon’s Green Dinosaur (vodka, gin, rum, Midori, melon liqueur, triple sec, and 7-Up)

Would you go live on Mars?
Absolutely! If I could, why not? But I’d like to visit and then decide if I’d like to live there or not.

One unusual lesson life has taught you.
To not take anything for granted. People still do it.

The best compliment you’ve received.
That I’m the “man with the velvet touch”.

And the weirdest response.
When Dil Chahta Hai released, a friend was quite impressed and exclaimed, “Yeh picture tuney banayi hai?” A couple of years later, when the same friend went to watch another movie I made, he exclaimed sarcastically, “Yeh film bhi tuney banayi hai?”

Will you ever go back to wearing all those hair bands?
If I grow my hair long, yes I will.

Which colour best describes what you’re feeling right now?
Blue – as in cool, not those depressing emotions you’d associate with the colour.

What turns a house into a home?
The people who occupy it.

If you could change one thing about Indian men...
Their mindsets. Those outdated concepts men have grown up believing must change.

If you woke up and found you’d turned into a woman...
I’d ponder over how to explain the change to my wife.

A super power you wish you had.
The ability to fly.

Favourite street food.
The classic Mumbai vada pao. I’ve been going to the Banarasi guy at Bandra Bandstand for the longest time.

Would you rather be a rockstar or a runner in real life?
I think now I’d probably be a runner, because the rockstar quota is too crowded!

Shaadi Ke Side Effects kya hote hain?
Aap picture dekhiye, aapko pata chal jayega.
 
The last line of your autobiography would read...
“To be continued…”

If you could make a superband of your own, who would you pick?
I’d choose my buddies from the film industry, provided they actually know how to play music.

Three things we’d definitely find in your wardrobe.
Striped socks, black socks, grey socks

Amitabh Bachchan- Jaya Bachchan and Rekha starrer Silsila turns 34 today. Possibly the biggest and most epic love triangles of all times, the film delicately unweaved the threads of a love story outside an arranged marriage. While, it was said that the film largely took inspiration from Amitabh-Jaya and Rekha's alleged real life love trail, the maturity and elegance with which the entire plot was portrayed onscreen was commendable. How the seeds of Amitabh (Amit) and Rekha's (Chandni) complicated relationship were sown, and how their passion and desire to be with each other blossomed into something which could not be accepted by the society or their spouses; left us in awe of the lead cast of the movie. Let's take a look at few lessons we learnt from the film…


A veil, vermillion and your husband's last name; won't always make your life easy: In the film, Shekhar Malhotra (Shashi Kapoor) dies in a tragic accident leaving behind a pregnant Shobha (Jaya Bachchan). Amit (Amitabh Bachchan) takes pity on Shobha and marries her. Now, one thing we all need to understand here is that marriage is not always a solution to pre- marital pregnancy. Of course we all believe in the sanctity of marriage and it’s wonderful to have a companion you can love and be with throughout your life. Women have the greatest gift to bring a child into this world, and life becomes much easier for a child, if he has a mother and a father, both. Having said that, forcing oneself into a relationship just so that the child is never questioned is not an ideal thing to do. Women like Neena Gupta are living examples of the fact that you don't need a father to raise a child. If there was anything we learnt from Shobha's character in the film, it was the fact that a veil, vermillion and your husband's last name; won't always make your life easy.

Forget your past: Never carry the baggage of your previous relationships into your marriage. Love affairs, break ups are pretty common these days. Couples these days are more vocal about their life before their marriage and are also ready to accept their partners with all their flaws and shortcomings. It is important that you don't see or expect your spouse to be a reincarnation of your previous partner. Give a fresh chance to your marriage. Give it the space and nourishment it requires to flourish. Fill it with love and trust. And most importantly, forget your past. The biggest mistake that Amit (Amitabh Bachchan) did in the movie was to allow Chandni (Rekha) to come back into his life again.

Don't let someone exploit you, even emotionally: Amit's (Amitabh Bachchan) behaviour towards Shobha (Jaya Bachchan) after he had met Chandni (Rekha) again, was a clear case of emotional abuse. While Shobha kept surrendering to his whims and fancies, pleading with him to be with her; considering her to be a weaker sex, Amit gave preference to his interest. Letting someone exploit you is not the way to handle relationships.

Let go: What Shobha and Amit needed was a good, candid chat. Shobha should have clearly told him that she was aware of everything that Amit had been doing. And Amit should have told her clearly, if he really wanted to be with Chandni. Shobha and Amit, both needed to come clean out and loud.

For years, things haven't allegedly been too good between Jaya Bachchan and Rekha, and the two have reportedly ignored each other at various functions. Problems supposedly began when reports of Amitabh Bachchan being in love with Rekha, despite being married to Jaya Bachchan, surfaced. Although Big B refused to acknowledge the reports, Rekha went all out and reportedly professed her love for him. The trio even acted together in Silsila, which was allegedly an adaptation of their own lives. However, post-Silsila the trio never worked together and reportedly parted ways on a bitter note. But going by the latest images from an award function, looks like the yesteryear actresses have decided to let bygones be bygones and hug out their differences. This, definitely, is a great start to the new year. Don't you think so?
