Bollywood director Farah Khan is immensely popular for her witty skills. From pulling the legs of her co-workers to poking fun at various incidents, the ace choreographer never misses a chance to showcase her humorous side. Now, as her doting husband, Shirish Kunder, known for his contribution to movies like Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om, Joker, Jaan-E-Mann and Tees Maar Khan, turned a year older, she penned a note leaving their fans in absolute delight.
On Instagram, Farah Khan shared a series of throwback photos from her album featuring her husband, Shirish Kunder. From the director's moments with their kids at various events, prize ceremonies, vacations to a solo capture of him serving pure men's fashion goals, the doting wife's carousel gave a sneak peek into their love-filled married life. A delightful snap of the duo clad in their ethnic best, seemingly from their wedding diaries, also featured the couple's vibrant smiles.
Alongside this, the Happy New Year director penned a meaningful note revealing an unknown side of her husband, Shirirsh. She asked him to be as weird as he is and even elaborated on her heartfelt reason. 'Being called 'weird" is like being a Limited Edition.. it just means you're something people don't see often! so happy birthday @shirishkunder stay weird! We love you just the way you are," read her caption.

Coming to the personal front, Farah Khan and Shirish Kunder have been married for 20 years and have three children. They are blessed with triplets: Czar, Anya and Diva. However, their relationship was not very smooth right from the beginning. In a candid conversation with Archana Puran Singh for her YouTube channel, Farah admitted, 'I used to hate him," adding the real reason behind the same, 'For six months, I thought he was gay."
When asked how her feelings towards Shirish changed, she hilariously quipped, 'Earlier, he used to get angry. And when he used to get angry, it was very annoying because a person is just keeping quiet and then they are torturing you by not talking."
