I really enjoyed chatting with Farhan Akhtar, but there was one question I forgot to ask: Is he anything like the character he played in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara? What do you think-Is Farhan Akhtar similar to Imraan in real life? Drop your thoughts below!”
Faye, can I suggest that you and Farhan drop the “failed marriage” and “broken family” terminology? There’s so much judgment implied there and I’m sure you both are not highly judgmental individuals.
@fayedsouza - just a thought that these interviews while well intended are going into bollywood space and that’s not the kind of content i look forward to you for. This content is expected from anupama chopra who is a reputable film journalist. Nothing wrong with the content but it seems like you are unclear/perhaps confused about the kind of content you might want to cater to? If this is intentional then that’s fine. Also to be clear nothing wrong with the kind of content. It is the genre or space in which you wish to be
You are an amazing interviewer! Thank you for asking him about that garbage film “Animal”. He was very diplomatic and careful but I am glad he admitted the character was problematic. My favorite film journalists Anupama Chopra and Sucharita Tyagi would not dare to ask him this question as they are more entrenched in the industry.
Best part of this podcast is Farhan diplomatically / professionally handling the Animal question like a Corporate CEO (Faye was expecting Tears and outburst for trailer and Thumbnail) - He Praised Director Sandeep Vanga - He praised the Actor - Ranbir - He praised the producer - (Kids should learn never to ridicule their own industry in front of an Independent Reporter) / he said it didn’t resonate with him personally and professionally he doesn’t have any right to instruct others what to make - He is true son of Javed Saab - He praised Audience if they liked it they liked it - WE LEARN PROFESSIONALISM FROM THIS SECTION / movie didn’t work for me either
There wouldn't have been anything wrong even if he was straight up honest about the movie being vulgar and harmful. In fact that would have shown that he had a spine and that he wasn't terrified of other men in the industry taking away opportunities. It takes a spine and bravery to really speak your mind for what is right instead of beating around the bush in the name of professionalism
Farhan is such a cool guy. I feel like you can talk to him about anything under the sun. Very intellectual and calm. I remember finding him so cool in Rock On.
Farhan Akhtar has always seemed like that comfortable ally, when it comes to men. Like I don’t feel the sense of hostility. Like we have space to talk about things and address issues rather than harassing each other. I would be so comfortable around a man such as him. Is it really so hard to be an empath? I think not!
Among the finest interviews i have ever seen. A nice honest exchange between two intelligent, kind and pure human beings. Thank you Kaye and Farhan for sharing this.
This was such a joy to work. As a mom & daughter both, I was very influenced by a long ago interview you had done with his dad and now listening him talk about his kids and his childhood really brought that to a full circle. Thank you for doing such a lovely interview
I always admire Farhan's versitality. DCH is still my favourite movie. Lakshya was also too good. That core simplicity was not there in Don series. Farhan is an amazing director. Wish he directs more movies like DCH and Lakshya. This is the first interview of Farhan which I saw. Apart from the most versatile talents in the industry, he is so sorted with amazing clarity of thoughts and so grounded and simple. It was lovely to know the brain behind such a great talent. Wish you direct more films 😊 You are a true gem.
Laksh was such an amazing movie! Definitely ahead of its time. I'm glad it found its audience eventually❤️ Farhan and Zoya's work is always on my top re-watch list. Such a wholesome conversation. Thanks Faye!
Super engaging chat! Thoroughly loved it. Such clarity and eloquence. Brilliant display of composure about they way Farhan answered all the questions. Thanks Faye for bringing him on conversation table. ❤
It’s great to know how thoughtful & such a wonderful person he is… this interview adds so much to the admiration … thanks for such a decent conversation 👍🏻
Farhan's take on faith giving comfort is so true! These interviews are so much more engaging and tells who the star really is compared to the bitchfest in glossy set with "Koffee"!!
I enjoyed this conversation so much.. I love when celebrities talk about their personal life, I enjoy when celebrities share their parenting stories on late night shows. We don’t do that well here in India. Ask celebrity parents share stories about their kids
Thanks for sharing these heartfelt conversations, Faye. Such a rarity. I hope you interview Abhay Deol as well some day. Come across as an interesting actor.
Great podcast Faye. Podcast of such type help us to understand human mindset better. My opinion is that, Wisdom or Knowledge is at its best when shared with fellow human. So sharing some belief. " Faith" give us a great sense of understanding life better & help us to solve life crisis & tackle negativity to its core. "Faith" if interpreted well, can tell you how ego, pride, anger, jealousy, greed, lust can make a human guilty from within either in shame or fear. And why love, peace & forgiveness is so important in life for we human, to keep humanity alive...😊👍 ,
i think all the schools and colleges in India should include a lesson in Moral Science textbooks on the movie Animal from now on debating if this movie is toxic or not
I really enjoyed watching this interview. Farhan's thoughtfulness and lucidity of thought came through. I found the narrative around rape and implying that those who are dissatisfied with their social and economic place in life might use it as a means to lash out to be a bit misguided frankly and v problematic. It implies that those who are privileged (socially, economically) are not violent against women which is as we know is inaccurate (look at the number of MPs with such charges!). I think one should not rationalize rape or even try to. It is the manifestation of a sick mind and a festering culture.
Faye, great work!!! Amazing conversation, it's so good to watch and listen to Farhan. He answered at so many points in this conversation so well and that sounded inspiring and fresh.
1:00:00 true grace akshay khanna letting go of the role of akash in dil chahta hai. I think over the years, the role of sid (akshay) has gained more importance that that of akash (aamir)
Thank you Faye for great content, had loved your interview on Tweak India.❤️🤩🙌🏾💪🏾 Absolutely LOVE Farhan for his down to earth persona, sense of humour and ofcourse oodles of talent😍🤩 Liked the pace and flow of interview and points discussed. It is HIGH TIME human beings learnt to dump any kind of labels and interact always only through the lens of good vibes, humanity and soul connection. In the end we all are battling the similar battles of winning over any kind of negative thoughts/energy. Self-awareness and empowerment is important and should be part of academic curriculum.
@14:45 one guy will come and make youtube videos saying... "Did you know farhan akhtar ki pehli film Dil chahta hai ki album producers ne reject kar di thi..."
Hi Faye, Love your content. One technical feedback- seems like there's dual audio from Farhan and your voice seems to come from Farhan's mic. Either its a hardware issue which DJI has issues with regularly or your mic's audio was not used. Kindly check with your team for future interviews.
A humble request to use proper microphones for these podcasts. It's very distracting when the audio quality keeps changing from muffled to sharp to flangey and very rarely, clear. It would make a lot of difference. Thanks.
What a comment- the comfort faith can give… I cannot go completely to atheism exactly because of this. I think it requires a very strong mind to not believe in a higher power… The first adversity comes and things are beyond our control is the time when we want to believe someone is watching out for us
Madam Faye your microphone is glitching. Everytime you start to speak, it echoes at the beginning and then later midway into your question it normalizes. Thank you for this interview. Love your work. Best wishes to you and your team.👍🏼
Totally agree with Farhan's thoughts on Animal ! The film was really really bad in general barring some awesome performances by lead actors. Always loved Farhan ! Intelligent son of an Intelligent Father
Farhan is wrong about one thing , Comparing Big B and SRK is justified because SRK surpassed Big Bs popularity per capita across pan India more or less and even more worldwide with NRI’s and Foreigners alike , he put Bollywood on the map again internationally after the gap left by Raj Kapoors peak and Established YRF as the leading distributor outsider india . Ranveer has none of that , Ranveer has not come close too surpassing SRKs popularity per capita , definitely not pan india , and not with NRIs or foreigners like a Aamir Khan for example . And that was all done by the time SRKs Don even came out . So Farhan comparing them is disingenuous too say the least , I bet he’s a producer and he’s selling his product but let’s be real now .
I really enjoyed chatting with Farhan Akhtar, but there was one question I forgot to ask: Is he anything like the character he played in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara? What do you think-Is Farhan Akhtar similar to Imraan in real life? Drop your thoughts below!”

I guess, interviewee used it first and those are quite common words in arts fraternity especially cinema. There's no point shying away from it.

The Akhtar siblings are such a blessing! Always pushing the envelope and delivering amazing stuff!

@@rohanxdavis He did that...he said it didn't work for him and would not produce something like that...
He lacked SPINE there
Farhan is such a cool guy. I feel like you can talk to him about anything under the sun. Very intellectual and calm. I remember finding him so cool in Rock On.
Both Farhan and Zoya are such lovingly pleasant ppl- I mean you look at them and you develop instant fondness in them both -
Farhan Akhtar has always seemed like that comfortable ally, when it comes to men. Like I don’t feel the sense of hostility. Like we have space to talk about things and address issues rather than harassing each other. I would be so comfortable around a man such as him. Is it really so hard to be an empath? I think not!
Such type of interview we lack in this country. Inspiring & intellectual 👍
Thank you Faye ❤
Among the finest interviews i have ever seen. A nice honest exchange between two intelligent, kind and pure human beings. Thank you Kaye and Farhan for sharing this.
You made my weekend, Faye! This man is what I'd call 'success'!
Thank you, Faye! My weekend kicks off with you both, and I always enjoy listening to the conversation.
The sound... It's heart breaking. Thank you for doing this.
Please invest in good sound system Faye.
This was such a joy to work. As a mom & daughter both, I was very influenced by a long ago interview you had done with his dad and now listening him talk about his kids and his childhood really brought that to a full circle. Thank you for doing such a lovely interview
Thank you so much for your kind words, I am glad you liked both the interviews!
Such an intelligent talented and a sorted guy. One of my favourites.❤
I always admire Farhan's versitality. DCH is still my favourite movie. Lakshya was also too good. That core simplicity was not there in Don series. Farhan is an amazing director. Wish he directs more movies like DCH and Lakshya.

Always a fan of Farhan Akhtar ❤❤❤. He seems so real and human! Unlike many other actors who seem too good to be true.
It’s great to know how thoughtful & such a wonderful person he is… this interview adds so much to the admiration … thanks for such a decent conversation 👍🏻
I’m looking forward more of these kind of conversations in today’s day and age
I LOVE FARHAN SO MUCH! Love this.
Thanks for bringing Farhan Akhtar....he is my favourite!!!
Thank you so much, Garima! Who doesn't like Farhan?
Intellect, substance, aware & genuine. Applies to both the interviewer and the interviewee. Thank you!!
Farhan is like wine. As he gets older, he gets better. But i dont want to say much, otherwise he will think i carry a torch for him.
Awesome as usual! A rewarding watch.
You are so good Faye- bless you girl.
Keep going 👍👌✌🏻
Farhan's take on faith giving comfort is so true! These interviews are so much more engaging and tells who the star really is compared to the bitchfest in glossy set with "Koffee"!!
Thankyou for this conversation. Would request you to fix the sound please.
I enjoyed this conversation so much.. I love when celebrities talk about their personal life, I enjoy when celebrities share their parenting stories on late night shows. We don’t do that well here in India. Ask celebrity parents share stories about their kids
He sounds level-headed. I wish more men thought like him.
Animal is engaging. lovely heartfelt interview...akshayeee khanna's mention made me happy! such a fine actor..
Thanks for sharing these heartfelt conversations, Faye. Such a rarity.
I hope you interview Abhay Deol as well some day. Come across as an interesting actor.
Laksh is one of my all time favorite films.
Such a calm and rational conversation. Loved Farhan's views on society, religion and perception of women.
the black and white was good, wished that would be the whole video
Thank you for this conversation Faye. I hugely respect Farhan for his honesty and the person he is. There is something about him which is so real
Farhan is so eloquent and empathetic! Loved this podcast Faye!
Thank you Faye for this conversation with Farhan.
Great content! Always looking forward to your conversations with people across different domains. Also, can you fix the mic/sound..
Great guy with unique stories and initiatives . Nice interviewer as always :)
Great interview! Farhan Akhtar is an amazing intelligent person.
Can you cut out the portion where Farhan speaks about power, women and gender. That portion is beautiful
It's done. It's on the Faye D'Souza show clips channel!
A matured conversation. 🎉

What a great guy and he explained it so well the social dynamics in our society
Love the Akhtar duo - Farhan & Zoya! The best content creator s from Bollywood. Super cool but sensitive and intellectual ❤❤
Most talented guy in Bollywood industry. Period!
Faye, great work!!!
Amazing conversation, it's so good to watch and listen to Farhan. He answered at so many points in this conversation so well and that sounded inspiring and fresh.
Thanks Faye for an amazing thought provoking and rich interview. Love your questions. Looking fwd to listen to many more 👏
1:00:00 true grace akshay khanna letting go of the role of akash in dil chahta hai. I think over the years, the role of sid (akshay) has gained more importance that that of akash (aamir)
Oh wow MARD!! What a powerful acronym! 👏👏👏
Thank you Faye for great content, had loved your interview on Tweak India.❤️🤩🙌🏾💪🏾
Absolutely LOVE Farhan for his down to earth persona, sense of humour and ofcourse oodles of talent😍🤩

Simple and honest. Very nice. Thank you Faye.
such an intelligent man!
One of the best shows that I ever saw. Marvellous both of u
People are missing out on a great interview.
What a wonderful interview!! ❤❤ loved it.
Looks like Farhan has been doing some reading about Power, Privilege and Prejudice. Good stuff but the average Indian man is not listening.
Thank you so much ,good work Faye❤
Quality Interview, Faye, thank you!
Try to fix the audio track please, sometimes there's an overlap, or an echo.
Great Conversation!!! Thumbs Up... Please improve the mic/sound system
Lakshya is such a beautiful movie with fabulous story and music
Very honest and sincere ❤
Very nice interview. Interesting questions, Faye .
@14:45 one guy will come and make youtube videos saying...
"Did you know farhan akhtar ki pehli film Dil chahta hai ki album producers ne reject kar di thi..."
UA-cam is no longer for content creators. It's 90% content scavenging from 10% content creation
Intersting conversation!
AWESOME FAYE YOU ALEAYS MAKE A CONVERSATION SO ENGAGING
Such a lovely conversation 👍
Loving these interviews lately.
Why are there so many audio issues?
Hi Faye, Love your content. One technical feedback- seems like there's dual audio from Farhan and your voice seems to come from Farhan's mic. Either its a hardware issue which DJI has issues with regularly or your mic's audio was not used. Kindly check with your team for future interviews.
1:02:40 -SRK part
Brilliant conversation
Wow, so many learnings.
When Faye started talking about MARD, I sensed Farhan started kind of shivering, maybe with anger while trying to appear composed?
Hey! Would be great if we have time stamps :)
Love you Farhan❤
❤ your always give some great news Fay ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Honestly this makes me wanna know why Film Companion shut down!! Hopefully we'll get to see many more of these though : )
A humble request to use proper microphones for these podcasts. It's very distracting when the audio quality keeps changing from muffled to sharp to flangey and very rarely, clear. It would make a lot of difference.
Thanks.
Mam create more and more informative podcast for us ,thank you so much
What a comment- the comfort faith can give… I cannot go completely to atheism exactly because of this. I think it requires a very strong mind to not believe in a higher power… The first adversity comes and things are beyond our control is the time when we want to believe someone is watching out for us
Invite Javed Akhtar also
Appreciate it
Madam Faye your microphone is glitching. Everytime you start to speak, it echoes at the beginning and then later midway into your question it normalizes.
Thank you for this interview. Love your work. Best wishes to you and your team.👍🏼
Nice T-shirt MissFaye
That last question remind of akshay kumar interview of mr modi 😊
Faye Madam, pls have time stamps. Yeh ek ghante ka videos with NO time stamps. I will skip in the first 2 mins
Have added them, you can watch now!
Totally agree with Farhan's thoughts on Animal ! The film was really really bad in general barring some awesome performances by lead actors. Always loved Farhan ! Intelligent son of an Intelligent Father
Good content however i believe the sound quality could be improved. The sound is uncleae due to echoing.
Also, was his left hand trembling of sorts?
Came here to see if I was the only one who noticed that!!
This thing about AI gonna drive them crazy if its futuristic!
Why is the audio so bad ?
Do a podcast with Mrunal Thakur please
Wheres the news Faye?
Is anyone else having issue with the audio? Like it's echoing???
Yes the audio is not up to the Mark
Farhan is wrong about one thing ,
Comparing Big B and SRK is justified because SRK surpassed Big Bs popularity per capita across pan India more or less and even more worldwide with NRI’s and Foreigners alike , he put Bollywood on the map again internationally after the gap left by Raj Kapoors peak and Established YRF as the leading distributor outsider india .
Ranveer has none of that , Ranveer has not come close too surpassing SRKs popularity per capita , definitely not pan india , and not with NRIs or foreigners like a Aamir Khan for example .
And that was all done by the time SRKs Don even came out .
So Farhan comparing them is disingenuous too say the least , I bet he’s a producer and he’s selling his product but let’s be real now .
There is an echo in the podcast (around 50 mins)
