Film industry celebrated Tees Maar Khan's failure, Farah Khan recalls people said, 'Ab aayi na line pe'
Farah Khan recalls how Bollywood reacted to Tees Maar Khan
In her latest YouTube vlog, Farah Khan spoke about how people are happier for others' failure in the film industry than they are with their own success. Farah recalled that when Tees Maar Khan was released in 2010, there was a "celebration" in Bollywood as the Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif starrer didn't perform well.
"People I had worked with were saying things like, 'Ab aayi na line pe' (Now she's been put in her place)," the Tees Maar Khan director remembered.
Tees Maar Khan is a 'legend' with Gen Z, says Farah Khan
While Tees Maar Khan received negative reviews from critics during its release, the 2010 film has gained a cult status over the years. Talking about the same, Farah Khan shared that it is considered a "legend" with Gen Z and that they don't "care" about her other movies as much as the 2010 heist comedy.
This is not the first time Farah Khan has spoken about the reaction to Tees Maar Khan. In her 2020 interview with Pinkvilla, Farah had shared that people from the industry took a "lot of joy" when the 2010 film didn't do well.
"There was glee and there was 'Oh thank god this one didn't do well.' That's when I realised that you know it is a boys' club and they don't want a little girl, or a big girl, in it," the director told us back then.
A brief about Tees Maar Khan
Jointly produced by Twinkle Khanna, Shirish Kunder, and Ronnie Screwvala, Tees Maar Khan is a remake of the 1966 Italian film After the Fox. The 2010 movie also featured Akshaye Khanna, Ali Asgar, Aman Verma, and others. It was a semi-hit at the box office.
Apart from Tees Maar Khan, Farah Khan has also helmed movies like Om Shanti Om, Main Hoon Na, and Happy New Year.

Archana Puran Singh Goes On Dubai Desert Safari As Husband Parmeet Sethi Tries Belly Dancing
Actor-reality show judge Archana Puran Singh is having a gala time in Dubai with her family. In her latest vlog, the actor -- who currently appears on The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix as a guest judge -- shared a sneak peek into her day enjoying some of the must-have experiences when in Dubai, such as embarking on a desert safari and watching belly dancing. She was accompanied by her husband Parmeet Sethi and sons Aaryamann Sethi and Ayushmann Sethi. What's Happening In her new vlog, actor Archana Puran Singh and her family are seen travelling in a car to the sand dunes to take a safari ride. On the way to the venue, they joked about how they were looking forward to dune bashing and buggy rides, and eventually, belly dancing. The actor recently shared a vlog, titled "Dubai Ka Famous Belly Dance Aur Desert Safari!", on her official YouTube page. When Ayushmann asked Parmeet whether he will try belly dancing, the actor sportingly said, "If she (Archana) asks me, I will." They bought different colours of keffiyeh, a traditional Middle Eastern scarf, often worn in Dubai, at a mini mart before they started out with the desert safari. "I'm ready to go into the middle of the desert with my jaan and do belly dancing," Archana said, holding Parmeet close. She also shared that people in the UAE wear the keffiyeh to shield themselves from the harsh sun there. "We are not making fun of the headdress, but we are having a lot of fun after wearing this," Archana clarified in the video. Once the desert safari began, Archana started getting the jitters. "I don't know why I agreed to do this!" Soon, the buggy carrying Archana and Parmeet, who was at the wheel, got stuck in the sand. "Oh my god! Our car is tilted. I want to go back." Then, one of the people with the desert safari programme helped the couple get the buggy back on track. "If I die here, I'll be dead not because of anything else but fear!" Archana said in the vlog. Following the desert safari, the family ended the night on a high note watching a belly dance performance. In the video, Archana and Parmeet can be seen shaking a leg to traditional Middle Eastern music along with fellow tourists. When one of the guests recognised Archana and came up to her with folded hands, she smiled and acknowledged his greetings. In A Nutshell Archana Puran Singh, who is in the UAE on a holiday, shared a new vlog on her YouTube channel in which she can be seen making the most of her time in Dubai with her family as they enjoy desert safari and belly dancing.
