Farah Khan says when heroine falls on set, film becomes hit; cites Kajol, Preity Zinta's examples: ‘Main 1-2 ko dhakka…'
Filmmaker Farah Khan's vlogs with her cook Dilip, where she visits the homes of Bollywood celebrities to cook with them, have quickly gained popularity. In the latest vlog, Farah visited Sanya Malhotra's house and, during their conversation, she remarked that when a film's female lead falls on set, it's a sign that the film is destined for success.

As Farah and Sanya were talking, the filmmaker noticed a scar on the actor's leg. Sanya revealed it was from a bike accident that occurred on the sets of Vishal Bhardwaj's Pataakha. She then recalled how, during the shoot of Badhaai Ho, the floor was cleaned with oil because it wasn't shining, and when she went on to dance to the song Morni Banke, she slipped. Reacting to this, Farah said, 'The film in which a heroine falls, it becomes a hit.' Sanya added that she has fallen in almost every film, to which Farah responded that this is the reason for her films' success.
Farah recalled, 'Kajol used to keep falling in every film like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and we used to say now the movie's a hit. In Kal Ho Naa Ho, Preity Zinta was doing a shot on a bridge, and she fell. We were relieved that now the film would be a hit. Main toh ek-do ko dhakka maar dun picture mein (I would push 1-2 in films).'
Meanwhile, on the work front, Farah was last seen hosting the television reality show Celebrity MasterChef, which was judged by Chef Ranveer Brar and Chef Vikas Khanna. The show was won by actor Gaurav Khanna. Sanya will next be seen in the movie Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, which also stars Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Rohit Saraf, and Maniesh Paul in key roles. Helmed by Shashank Khaitan, the film is scheduled to release in theatres on September 12.

Kajol reveals why she and daughter Nysa often fight at the dinner table, says 'most fights...'
Kajol is a legendary actress from the 90s, who is known for her stellar performances in films like Baazigar (1993), Yeh Dillagi (1994), Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998). She began her career in 1992 with the movie Bekhudi. Eventually, she tied the knot with superstar Ajay Devgn. Kajol is the mother of Nysa and Yug Devgan. She has shared that she often has disagreements with her children. Kajol mentioned that her experience of motherhood has consistently been one of learning. There are moments when she feels a bit lost. Kajol's Disagreements With Her Little Ones Recently, Kajol recounted a disagreement she had with her kids during dinner, stating, 'There have been multiple instances when I reflect back, particularly concerning food. I must tell you that most of the fights between my children and me have taken place at the dining table. So yes, there have been numerous discussions at the dinner table, but at one moment, I realized that Nysa looked at me and said, 'Mom, just relax. I know what I'm doing, and when I feel hungry, I will eat.' In the interview, Kajol expressed that her children often remind her, in just a word or two, that she can sometimes be mistaken, which catches her off guard. She was astonished to discover that she could truly gain a lot of insights from her children. She remarked, 'It caught me off guard. I turned around and realized that I can learn from them. Now I am accustomed to it, but that part of me that turned around to learn from my children in small ways has remained within me. I don't mean to sound arrogant when I assert that I am a good mother. However, there are times I become a better person because my children have taught me to improve.' 'I Have Learned How To Stay…' Kajol continued, saying, 'At first, I used to be very concerned about whether my daughter was eating. Nysa was in boarding school and went to London, where she is thriving. Kajol believes her daughter is happy and making progress, so she has made the right choice. As a mother, Kajol has picked up the ability to remain calm and not stress about whether Nysa is eating or not. This is because she has learned the art of staying composed from her young daughter, who understands her mother's worries. Kajol elaborated, 'She will eat when she is hungry, or she might do something else. So I needed to stay calm about it, you know? And as an adult, she must learn, and she will find her way to do so at some point. That's it. I have gained a lot from our mealtime experiences. A lot.'
