Farah Khan On Tummy Tuck Surgery Post Pregnancy & Struggles With Weight Loss: Said, 'Hotel Staff Mistook My Husband For My Son'
Farah Khan revealed on Soha Ali Khan’s podcast that she struggled with skin issues, hair concerns and weight gain after having her triplets. She began prioritising self-care only after turning 50, including dermatologist visits and hair vitamins. Farah shared that her weight loss took seven years and also involved a tummy tuck
Bollywood filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan has always been refreshingly honest about her personal struggles. In a recent conversation on All About Her, the podcast hosted by actress Soha Ali Khan, Farah spoke about aging, coping with beauty insecurities, and her seven-year transformation post-pregnancy.
“I wasn’t always glamorous,” admits Farah Khan
Soha praised Farah for looking fabulous at 60, but Farah quickly clarified that taking care of herself was never a priority in her younger years.
The Om Shanti Om director recalled that before becoming a mother, she was naturally slim but battled dull skin and neglected self-care due to hectic work schedules. Shooting back-to-back,day and night,left no room for grooming or even a simple blow-dry.
Turning 50 changed her health priorities
It wasn’t until her 50s that Farah finally decided to invest in her own wellbeing. She now regularly consults a dermatologist and takes hair supplements to address age-related changes. Farah, who is mom to triplets Czar, Diva, and Anya with husband Shirish Kunder, highlighted how pregnancy and motherhood brought major physical shifts.
A vacation memory that triggered self-reflection
Farah also shared a humorous, yet eye-opening incident from a family holiday. At the time she was overweight, and a hotel staffer mistook her husband for her son. Shirish found the moment funny, but for Farah, it was a reminder of how drastically her appearance had changed after childbirth.
Speaking candidly, Farah revealed that losing her pregnancy weight was not easy or quick. It took her seven years to regain her health, and she even opted for a tummy tuck due to excess loose skin after delivering triplets. She also tried non-invasive wellness treatments such as lymphatic drainage massages and vitamin drips to support her transformation.
Soha Ali Khan also shares her perimenopause journey
During the chat, Soha added her own experience as a working mother. While she didn’t gain much weight after welcoming her daughter Inaaya in 2017, turning 45 brought noticeable hormonal changes as she entered perimenopause, a transition many women in their 40s and 50s go through.
