Talking about her current mindset, Farah said she’s in a space where she draws happiness from within rather than relying on external validation. “Your life can’t revolve around another person. I feel happiness has to come from within and from your work,” she shared. “Work actually gives me a lot of pleasure. Also, I feel that for me, I can work till I’m 80 because my work doesn’t depend on either my looks or, clearly, not my body, ever,” she joked.
During the episode, Farah also recalled an incident when a director hit on her and she kicked him out. "You know how hot I was, Twinkle. You know the director who tried to hit on me when we were shooting? He came into my room to discuss a song while I was in bed and sat next to me. I had to kick him from there,” she revealed. Twinkle burst into laughter and confirmed the story, adding, “He was after her no matter what. She’s physically kicked him. This happened, I was a witness!”
