'Maybe he's very private?' Netizens wonder why one person is always missing from Farah Khan's vlogs

Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan has built a strong digital following through her vibrant YouTube content, which includes her widely loved cooking show with personal chef Dilip. Her charismatic personality, candid conversations, and household banter have created a sense of familiarity with fans. However, many eagle-eyed social media users have pointed out the noticeable absence of her husband, director Shirish Kunder, from her vlogs and online presence. While her children and close friends often feature in her videos, Shirish remains missing from both her digital content and public appearances.

Reddit Sparks Speculation

The curiosity surrounding Kunder’s absence gained traction after a user on the well-known Bollywood gossip forum, BollyBlindsGossip, raised the question. The post noted how, despite Farah’s outgoing and media-friendly personality, Shirish continues to stay away from the limelight. This led to discussions about whether his absence was merely a personal choice or indicative of something deeper within their personal life. The thread quickly attracted attention and went viral, with numerous users sharing their own observations.

Users Suggest He Values Privacy

Several Reddit users offered theories suggesting that Kunder is simply a private individual who prefers to stay out of the public eye. Some mentioned that Farah herself appears to respect and protect this side of her life by not involving him in her content. A few pointed to past interviews in which Farah had admitted that her marriage to Shirish came at a time when they were both ready for parenthood and that their relationship began casually before turning serious. These remarks were interpreted as further signs that the couple may simply be choosing to maintain their own boundaries.

Missing During a Family Tragedy

The speculation deepened in 2024 when Farah’s mother, Menaka Irani, passed away after a prolonged illness. The funeral, held the same day, was attended by numerous Bollywood celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan and Shilpa Shetty. However, Shirish Kunder was notably absent, as per a Bollywood Shaadis report. Videos from the ceremony circulated widely on social media, and many users openly questioned why he wasn’t present during such an emotional and significant family event. His absence reignited debates and gave rise to numerous theories regarding his relationship with Farah’s family or potential personal reasons that might have kept him away.


Their Journey Together

Farah Khan and Shirish Kunder tied the knot on December 9, 2004. The couple met while working together on the film Main Hoon Na, which starred Shah Rukh Khan, Sushmita Sen, Zayed Khan, and Amrita Rao. Despite their eight-year age difference, the couple’s relationship blossomed. They later became parents to triplets—Diva, Anya, and Czar—through IVF. Although Farah has often shared snippets of her motherhood journey and home life, she has consistently kept Shirish’s presence minimal in her public content.
