\"'Meri Farah Khan<\/a>\u2019s \u2018Tees Maar Khan\u2019, starring Akshay Kumar<\/a> and Katrina Kaif<\/a>, may not have earned blockbuster status at the time of its release, but over the years, the film has found a second life. Despite its underwhelming box office performance, it gradually gained appreciation and is now widely regarded as a cult classic, cementing its place as a pop culture staple. Farah herself has frequently acknowledged this shift in perception.The subject resurfaced recently when Farah appeared in a conversation with YouTuber and \u2018The Traitor\u2019 fame Purav Jha. During their chat, Farah teasingly asked him, \u201cJab Main Hoon Na release hui thi, tab kitne saal ka tha? Shayad 3 saal?\u201d (When \u2018Main Hoon Na\u2019 was released, how old were you? Maybe three years old?). Purav agreed, replying, \u201cHaan, itna hi hoga\u201d (Yes, I must have been around that age). When Farah followed up by asking whether he had seen the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer, he instantly said, \u201cHaan, ma\u2019am! Kitni baar\u201d (Yes, ma\u2019am! So many times). <\/p>\n

The exchange became even more amusing when Farah asked if he had watched \u2018Tees Maar Khan\u2019. Purav\u2019s enthusiastic response, \u201cArey yaar, kya movie hai!\u201d (Oh man, what a movie!) left the filmmaker amused. Reacting humorously, Farah said, \u201cHighlight hai yaar. Arey yaar, tum log kahan the jab picture release hui thi? Meri band baja ke rakh di thi sabne.\u201d (It\u2019s a highlight, man. Where were you all when the film released? Everyone had completely trashed me back then.)Earlier this year, Farah also reflected on the film\u2019s aftermath and the industry\u2019s reaction to its failure. In her YouTube vlog, shot at producer Jackky Bhagnani and his wife, actor Rakul Preet Singh\u2019s home, she remarked, \u201cTees Maar Khan is a legend with Gen Z. They don\u2019t care for my other films. They think that (Tees Maar Khan) is the one.\u201d She further added, \u201cI remember during Tees Maar Khan\u2019s release, there was literally a celebration in the film industry. People whom I have worked with were like, \u2018Abhi aayi na line par.\u2019 In our industry, more than being happy for your success, people are happy for other people\u2019s failure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Farah Khan\u2019s \u2018Tees Maar Khan\u2019, starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, may not have earned blockbuster status at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355819,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6788,6491,96,39398,4998,19942,28764,19943,10232,136827,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-355818","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-akshay-kumar","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-farah-khan","12":"tag-gen-z","13":"tag-jackky-bhagnani","14":"tag-katrina-kaif","15":"tag-rakul-preet-singh","16":"tag-shah-rukh-khan","17":"tag-tees-maar-khan","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom","20":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355818\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
