Farah Khan Kunder, a filmmaker and choreographer, paid tribute to her mentor Michael Jackson on the occasion of his birthday on Monday. She posted an unseen photograph of the deceased icon and referred to it as the “changing moment of her life.” The image was taken in 1999 in New York.
Michael Jackson was looking away from the camera while a younger-looking Farah stood next to him. She penned “My guru.. turning point of my life happened when I saw Thriller.. got to meet him in NY 1999.. still to get over that experience.” Reacting to her post, a fan wrote, “Wow so lucky.” “Two rockstars of dancing in a frame,” added another one.
Like many other fans, Farah Khan grew up idolising Michael Jackson. With regard to him, Farah was described by PTI in 2009 as saying, “I officially had no training in dance and whatever I learned was through watching Michael Jackson by watching his films, notably “Thriller,” over and over again. He is my guru in my eyes. Michael Jackson allegedly overdosed on prescription medication and passed away the same year.
Farah was one of the numerous Bollywood celebrities who expressed their sorrow after Michael’s passing and continued to honour him online. In addition, Farah frequently updated her followers about her life. In the most recent, she was observed spending most of her time with her children, Czar, Anya, and Diva, in a Mumbai restaurant with a Greek theme.
