MUMBAI: Farhan Akhtar reacted to mean comments about him in a preview for the forthcoming episode of Arbaaz Khan‘s chat show, Pinch 2, which was streaming online. On Wednesday, the entire episode will be released.
The first hate speech against the actor assumed that Farhan was a “flop hero” who has had only one hit, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, and that film only performed because it was about late athlete Milkha Singh. “Iss flop hero ke zariye aapko Milkha ji ki kahani dekhne mil gayi, ussi se main khush hoon (I am just happy that you could see Milkha ji’s story through this flop actor).”, he replied.
He laughed off another hate comment that criticised his voice as ‘phati hui awaaz' (hoarse voice).
When asked how he and his sister Zoya Akhtar felt about their father Javed Akhtar and Arbaaz Khan’s father Salim Khan’s professional feud, Farhan said, “I find it incredible that whatever happened between Salim Saab and dad, it never trickled down to us.”.
Salim-Javed formed a legendary screenwriting duo in the 1970s and 80s and worked together on films such as Zanjeer, Deewar, Sholay and Yaadon Ki Baarat.

Every social media user, according to Farhan, needs to have thick skin.
He also mentioned how followers were devoted to a celebrity, while trolls were quick to criticize anyone and everything. “Don 3 banao, shaadi baad mein kar lena (Make Don 3 first, you can get married later).”, one comment addressing Farhan read this. Farhan opened up on the ‘love-hate relationship’ he shares with such people and how they say, ‘Yaar please give me Don 3’, and follow it up with abuses in the same post.
Farhan is soon set to make his comeback as a director after more than a decade with a Road trip-themed film titled Jee Le Zaraa, starring Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt.
The film will release in 2023.
