Karan Johar and Farah Khan's funny banter video

Karan Johar celebrated his birthday in traditional Bollywood fashion on Sunday, May 25, but his long-time friend, filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan, shared a humorous behind-the-scenes video that really stole the show and went viral on the internet.

Farah enters Karan Johar's opulent home at the beginning of the video, camera in hand, and she pans through an exquisite arrangement of pricey flowers and tall stacks of birthday presents.

Among the presents, several luxury Hermès boxes are visible, prompting Farah to joke, "I hope these are return gifts." The witty remark immediately set the tone for the fun that followed.


The standout moment of the video comes shortly after, when Farah catches sight of Karan himself, dressed strikingly in a bold black and white striped shirt. Without missing a beat, she teases him with her trademark humour: “Ye zebra crossing main cross karke jaaun ya you will just let me enter?” Karan, always a gracious host and quick with a comeback, greets her warmly, expressing his delight: "I’m grateful to have you come over to my house."

To the delight of fans on the internet, Farah doesn't hold back and continues to make fun of his attire with yet another zebra allusion before going inside.

The video swiftly became a viral sensation due to the pair's innate friendship and humorous timing, which had internet users in stitches.

In addition to being funny, the video revealed the two industry veterans' long-standing friendship. Over the course of their more than 25 years of dating, Karan and Farah have experienced many significant life and career turning points.

Their most recent collaboration was on Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, which was produced by Karan's Dharma Productions.

Even though Karan's birthday celebration was extremely lavish, Farah's charming and humorous zebra crossing remark was the high point, demonstrating the friendship's enduring appeal.
