I turned to acting only because of my sister Zoya Akhtar, reveals Farhan Akhtar!

Multifaceted Farhan Akhtar has proved his acting ability since the time he made his debut with Rock On!! in the year 2008. Since then, he has mesmerized us with his acts in movies namely Luck By Chance, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag to name a few.

During a communication with a famous tabloid, Farhan made a revelation that it was his sister Zoya Akhtar who pushed him to become an actor. He specified, "I would credit her for having recognised the acting potential in me and making me an actor. I turned to acting only because of Zoya."

He further told, "My mom and dad (Honey Irani and Javed Akhtar) always felt yeh kuch nahi karne wala hai. But Zoya, whenever she saw me with my friends, joking and laughing and keeping them engaged, thought I had something in me. It’s her belief and confidence in me that got me focused, and allowed me to start something with her."

Furthermore, before his acting debut, Farhan made an entry to Bollywood in style as a director with Dil Chahta Hai in the year 2001. Thereafter, he has made amazing movies like Lakshya (2004), Don (2006) and Don 2 (2011).


People have been waiting for him to make the third instalment of the Don franchise and Farhan is also waiting for the right time and script. He shared an anecdote during the release of Don by telling, "I remember when I went to watch the movie with the public, just after the interval they started asking me when I would direct the next Don, and I just said arre baba, second half toh dekh lo! (At least watch the second half!) Every time the topic of directing the next Don comes up, I can only say, dekhte hain (we’ll see)."
