December 9, 2025, marks the birthday of acclaimed choreographer, filmmaker, and producer Farah Khan. The National Award-winning artist is often seen meeting Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan, with whom she shares a warm relationship that dates back decades.

In an earlier interview with NDTV, the Tees Maar Khan director spoke about the time when SRK left everything and ran to be with her when she was undergoing emotional trauma. Talking about the incident, Farah stated that years ago, when she was going through a tough time, she called SRK and she was crying on the phone. Within half an hour, King Khan left his shooting and was at her doorstep.

The Jawan actor sat with Farah for an hour and talked to her patiently. “It was like having the best therapy ever,” stated the filmmaker. In the same interview, she also divulged that she always tells everybody that even though her dad passed away, he sent Shah Rukh to look after her. “I really want to thank you because you do look after me,” she expressed in the old video.
