Farah Khan and Shirish Kunder met on the sets of the movie, Main Hoon Na

Farah, earlier in an interview with ETimes, revealed that Shirish, in her decade-long marriage with him, has never apologised to her. She had revealed that if she had glanced at her phone while he was talking, he would just walk out. It was on the sets of Main Hoon Na that Farah Khan and Shirish Kunder first met. Shirish is someone who hates taking the limelight. Shah Rukh Khan, Sushmita Sen, Zayed Khan and Amrita Rao starrer, Main Hoon Na, was the directorial debut of Farah. In an earlier interview with Archana Puran Singh for her YouTube channel, Farah revealed it was not love at first sight for her. In her words:

"I used to hate him. For six months, I thought he is gay. Now, I am used to him. It’s been 20 years now.”
