Sushmita Sen Recalls Farah Khan’s Priceless Reaction to Her Main Hoon Na Look
Bollywood icon Sushmita Sen recently reminisced about filming the 2004 blockbuster Main Hoon Na, revealing director Farah Khan’s spontaneous and funny response to her iconic red saree.
The Unforgettable Red Saree Moment
Main Hoon Na remains a cult favorite for its blend of action, romance, and comedy. One of its most memorable scenes features Sushmita Sen’s grand entrance in a striking red saree, set to the song “Tumse Milke Dil Ka.”
However, the actress recently shared that Farah Khan’s first reaction wasn’t what fans might expect.
Farah Khan’s Hilarious Comment: “Kya Lungi Bandhi Hai?”
In an interview, Sushmita recalled, “When I walked out in that saree, Farah looked at me and said, ‘Kya lungi bandhi hai?!’” The director’s playful jab about the unconventional drape left the crew in splits.
Sushmita laughed, explaining, “It was a modern take on a saree, and Farah eventually loved it—but her first reaction was priceless!”
Why the Red Saree Became Iconic
Designed by Manish Malhotra, the deep red saree featured an off-shoulder blouse and a cascading pallu, blending tradition with contemporary flair. The look became a fashion milestone, influencing Bollywood styling for years.
Behind-the-Scenes Camaraderie
Sushmita praised Farah Khan’s candid personality, saying, “She’s brutally honest, which makes working with her so fun.” The Main Hoon Na set was filled with laughter, thanks to the playful dynamic between Shah Rukh Khan, Zayed Khan, and the rest of the cast.
