Actress Amyra Dastur recalled how filmmaker Farah Khan once almost made her cry while they were working together on Kung Fu Yoga, which also starred Jackie Chan. In Farah's latest food vlog, the filmmaker remembered working with Amyra on the film, prompting the actress to bring up an incident she still remembers. Amyra said, "You know Farah almost made me cry," before recalling the "funniest thing" that happened on set.
Amyra praised Farah's sense of humour but admitted that she had not understood it back then. Recalling how people had warned her that Farah would yell at her if she messed up, the actress said she was taken aback when the filmmaker approached her and congratulated her on her performance. Amyra assumed she had done a good job, only for Farah to tell her, "You're going to be my Titanic and ruin my career."
Farah appeared shocked by the revelation and asked, "Did I say that to you?" Amyra, however, maintained that Farah had not delivered the remark jokingly at the time. She recalled looking at choreographer Geeta Kapur for reassurance, who told her, "Don't cry, don't take it seriously. Go practice."
Amyra also brought up Farah's alleged experience of yelling at actor Boman Irani on the sets of Happy New Year. Laughing, Farah recalled how Boman was lying motionless in character, making her think he had gone into a coma. She said she eventually asked him, "Will you do something or will you stay in coma?" Farah added that Boman got up and told her he was trying to stay in character, leaving her in tears.
