He and my son are both the same height. When I’m asleep at night or someone walks into the bedroom, I can’t tell whether it’s Czar who’s come in or Shirish). But if the person comes and hugs me, I know it’s my son.”
Marriage & The Evolving Nature of Romance
When asked whether love and romance fade after marriage, Farah admitted that after 22 years together, romance does take a back seat. She said, “Yeh sabki hi shikayat hai (This is everyone’s complaint). When we are dating, we want something very badly, but when we get it, uski value khatam ho jaati hai. Uski value alag cheezon mein hoti hai (Its value gets diminished. Its value lies in different things). I value Shirish for other things now—as a father and as someone who looks after the whole family. I cannot do without him. Shirish ke bina humara ghar nahi chal sakta (Our home can’t function without Shirish).”
