Tonight's episode of Bingo! Comedy Adda on Star Plus will see Hindi film industry veterans Neena Gupta and Farah Khan speaking to RJ Naved about the comical moments they have encountered in their lives.
Before she became a filmmaker, Khan had a long body of work as choreographer. She recalled how she is often appointed unofficial choreographer at the weddings of friends.
“I have choreographed many of my friends’ sangeets as a wedding gift to them," she said. "As a choreographer, at times I feel I am working at my friends’ parties as well. There have been instances wherein, as soon as they see me enter, they ask me to render a few steps and put me to work!”
Gupta recalled an incident involving her daughter Masaba. “When Masaba wanted to go to Goa for the first time with friends, I told my husband I was not comfortable with the idea, but he persuaded me to let her go. My only condition was that my husband and I go to Goa at the same time. Masaba was in north Goa while, on her insistence, I and my husband stayed in south Goa,” she said.
Then came the twist in the tale. “Two days into the trip and I get a call from Masaba," she said. "She was crying as she had fallen sick and wanted to come to us!”
