The two later prepared sabudana khichdi together before heading to the terrace, where they sat on a swing and chatted about their childhood memories and family struggles.Recalling the difficult financial phase her family went through, Farah said, “I always tell Ayan Mukerji that because of his dad, hum gareeb hue the (we became poor). Because my dad made his first big colour film with Deb Mukherjee in the lead role, and it bombed at the box office on Friday, and on Monday, we became poor.”Farah further explained that during those days, filmmakers often invested their personal savings into making films, unlike today where projects are backed by studios and corporate funding. The film she referred to was the 1971 movie Aisa Bhi Hota Hai. Directed by Kamran Khan, the film also starred Nandita Bose, Tun Tun and Jalal Agha.Reacting to Farah’s story, Tanishaa revealed that her own family had gone through similar financial ups and downs depending on the success or failure of films produced by her father, filmmaker Shomu Mukherjee. She said, “We also went through these phases jab daddy ki pictures aati thi, chalti thi or nahi chalti thi toh we used to be poor for 2 years - 3 years.” Shomu Mukherjee was known for films like Pathar Ke Insan, Lover Boy and Chaila Babu, among others.In the same vlog, Tanishaa also revealed that she has now turned writer.
