Why did Farah make Amyra cry?

Amyra recalled what happened on set and said, “Farah has a very good sense of humour but I did not know that. I had only heard that Farah ma'am will yell at you so don't mess up… Then she comes at me and she says, ‘Congratulations!’ So I thought I was doing such a good job. She said, ‘You are going to be my Titanic and ruin my career!’”

Farah looked surprised and laughed at this recollection, and said that whoever has got some yelling has done well in their career! Amyra agreed to that statement and said that Farah has also yelled at Boman Irani on the set of Happy New Year. Farah recalled how Boman was trying to get in character, but it was making her think he had gone into a coma. She asked him, "Will you do something or will you stay in coma?" Farah added that Boman got up and told her he was trying to stay in character.

About the film

Farah's last film as a director was the 2014 film Happy New Year. She hosted Celebrity MasterChef too. Her YouTube channel, where she posts celebrity cooking videos with her cook, Dileep, has become a huge hit with audiences.
