Farah Khan on raising triplets
Farah told Rubina that while her kids are old enough to go to college next year, she’s lucky they still want to spend time with her and her husband, Shirish Kunder. She said, “Luckily, my kids are 17 going on 13. They’re not overgrown and are still studious. It was their birthday recently, and they wanted a family dinner with us. They didn’t want to go to a club and party.”
In fact, Farah revealed that she knows her daughters have never been to a club, revealing that they also don’t wear makeup. “My daughters have never been to a club. Until now, they haven’t used makeup or threaded their eyebrows. I am a strict mom because they can’t just go wherever they want without me tracking. Every evening, we have a gossip chat, which is how I learn what’s happening in their lives. I’m a cool, fun mom, too,” she said.
After Rubina praised her for shielding them from too much ‘exposure,’ she asked if there was a difference in how she parents her son and daughters. Farah stated that she’s ‘stricter’ with him because she must explain how to treat women well. She also stated that when his friends converse ‘in a certain way,’ her son has been taught not to participate.
