Farhan Akhtar's parents separated in 1978 and eventually got divorced in 1985, leaving a difficult early life for him. Farhan recently disclosed that this incident had an important impact on his views towards marriage and relationships.

Regretfully, Salim and Javed decided to call it quits after over a decade of success; the cause of their divorce is still unknown.

As he talked about the pleasures he can now afford, he also recalled the appalling conditions in which he moved to Mumbai as a teenager. He also displayed signs of impostor syndrome.

Superstar Salman Khan and filmmaker Zoya Akhtar, their children haven't yet worked together on a project. Cooperation of this kind would be "delicious," as Javed Akhtar's daughter Zoya recently stated, but it would depend on finding the ideal topic that speaks to both.

He was asked about his thoughts on Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, in a conversation with YouTuber Raj Shamani. There have also been parallels drawn between Farhan's portrayal of male characters in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Dil Dhadakne Do. According to Farhan, any filmmaker is free to create a movie in any way they feel right.
