Hotshot Bollywood filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan, who has worked with the who’s who of Bollywood for over two-and-a-half decades now, feels actresses today are looked after better than yesteryears’ heroines.
‘I feel today, everything is looked after much more, though I don’t see any lack of hard work on the part of today’s girls. They are as hardworking as the girls earlier. It is just that the girls earlier had to do a lot more. They did not have personal trainers, managers or vanity vans. They had to work harder in a sense,” said Farah, who has worked with actresses spanning generations as director as well as choreographer, from Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, Tabu and Malaika Arora to Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor, besides heroes from Shah Rukh Khan to Hrithik Roshan to Tiger Shroff.
When it comes to dancing, she diplomatically avoids comparing today’s heroines with the earlier generation.
“It’s been 25 years, and I have choreographed Sridevi and Madhuri (Dixit Nene) and also the girls of today. You can’t compare them (today’s actresses) to the yesteryear actresses,” Farah told IANS.
Farah, who became an overnight sensation as a choreographer with her slow-motion choreography of the song Pehla nasha pehla khumar in the 1992 film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, branched out to directing films with Main Hoon Na in 2004, and later helmed Om Shanti Om (2007), Tees Maar Khan (2010), and Happy New Year (2014).
