In a recent interview, Farhan Akhtar, renowned for his groundbreaking film ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, disclosed a personal inspiration behind a memorable scene from the movie. During promotions for his upcoming production ‘Madgaon Express’, directed by Kunal Kemmu, Akhtar revealed an incident from his past where he was dumped by a girlfriend during a trip to Goa.
Speaking to India Today, Akhtar shared, “The most horribly wrong experience was during one of my trips to Goa. Some girl I was dating at that time, dumped me while we were there. I got dumped and drove back myself. So that was the most lonely drive back I have ever been in my life.”
Reflecting on the emotional impact of the breakup, Akhtar expressed, “When you are going with somebody, you feel so cool… ‘me and my girlfriend are on the road’. And then you have to come back all alone. The playlist changes completely (from your way up). That was one memorable experience for sure.”
Regarding his future projects, Akhtar disclosed plans to direct ‘Don 3’, starring Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani. Additionally, he mentioned embarking on a new acting venture in July, signaling his intent to focus solely on that endeavor.
