Her first notable break came with Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, where director Mansoor Khan recognized her raw talent early on. While Farah has often shared in interviews that her entry into choreography was purely accidental, there’s one story she recalled in an old interview with Lehren Retro that stands out. It involves none other than Bollywood star Anil Kapoor, during the making of the 1994 classic 1942: A Love Story, directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra.Also Read | Arjun Kapoor pushes Farah Khan aside to meet her cook Dilip, he fails to recognise actor: ‘Sir, aap mera shot kha gaye’Farah recalled, “I never had any problems with working with stars.
