Director Farah Khan recently dropped by actors Jackky Bhagnani and Rakul Preet Singh’s swanky home, where the conversation turned to her 2010 film Tees Maar Khan—a box office dud that, oddly enough, became a sort of punchline in Bollywood. Jackky also opened up about his father, producer Vashu Bhagnani, and how his journey—from humble roots to weathering flops like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan—taught the family to roll with the punches in an unpredictable industry.

Editor’s Note: Behind the glitz, Bollywood’s full of stories about bouncing back—whether it’s Farah laughing off a misfire or a veteran producer’s grit. It’s a reminder that even in showbiz, where hits and flops dominate headlines, what sticks is how people handle the lows. Casual chats like these peel back the curtain on the real drama: perseverance.
