In a recent interview on Maniesh Paul's podcast, Farah Khan provided insights into why two prominent Bollywood luminaries, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, couldn't make it to the star-studded song shoot. She shared, "We called a lot of stars who eventually did not come. Amit ji could not come. Abhishek and Aishwarya were getting married that week, so he couldn’t come. Aamir’s was the funniest, he kept me hanging and in the end, he gave me the reason that he was editing Taare Zameen Par. I said, ‘Just come, I will get it done in two hours.”
