Recalling the meeting, Farah said, "Shah Rukh was performing, and I had gone to choreograph for Shah Rukh, Aishwarya and all. That event sponsor told me Michael Jackson may come as the chief guest. Suddenly main wings main khadi hoon aur Shah Rukh ka performance aaraha hai and sponsor said Michael Jackson aaraha hai....I was going, and the sponsor said but ma'am, your performance? I said bhaad main jaaye. Shah Rukh rahega ghar jaayenge toh (I was standing in the wings, and Shah Rukh's performance was about to begin when the sponsor told me that Michael Jackson was arriving. I immediately started heading over, and they said, 'But ma'am, what about your performance?' I replied, 'To hell with it. If Shah Rukh will be around when we return home)."She further recalled her interaction with Michael and said, "They took me to his room, and it was completely dark because he didn't like bright lights and all. He was sitting in dim lights, and I am still getting goosebumps telling this. So soft spoken, he asked me, 'What's your name?' and I said Farah Khan. He said, 'such a powerful name', and I then clicked a photo with him standing still, and then later cropped out the sponsors."Earlier this year, when Michael Jackson’s biopic was released in theatres and received negative reviews from critics, Farah took to Instagram to encourage audiences to watch the film. Sharing a picture of herself with Michael, she wrote, "Point to be noted... Critics are morons in every country!
