Farah Khan has had a difficult time getting her film, Tees Maar Khan, cleared by the Censor Board Of Film Certifications who reportedly raised 18 objections, ranging from the name, Sheila, in the song, ' Sheila Ki Jawani ...' to calling a "rural characters" Doordarshan. Fortunately, thanks to a sensible chairperson, Sharmila Tagore, and a mature Revising Committee, the film was passed Committee, the film was passed with no cuts. Khan refutes rumours that Sheila was a problem because of the name of the Delhi Cheif Minister, Sheila Dixit.
"I didn't find any logic in the argument because aren't Sonia, Monica, or Munni names of people too? So why was Monica o my darling ...,You are my Sonia.. and the more recent Munni badnaam hui .. passed." But Khan had to beep out the word 'tawaif' (courtesan). Sheila's naval was also a cause of concern, until Khan pointed out that half the women in the country wore a sari and their stomachs were seen too.
She's also edited out a reference to our national broadcaster. The censors weren't happy with a rural character being called doordarshan, so Khan changed it to Duryodhan.
There was a difference of opinion over the use of the phrase 'Maa ki aankh' (Hindi expletive) also. Khan term since it was being bandied around openly, even in the promos of Golmaal 3. In Tees Maar Khan, it's a spotaneous reaction by Kumar.
Khan is upbeat about her Chirstmas attraction - a charity premiere, the proceeds of which will go to her charity, the Jai Vakil School for the mentally challanged: "Whoever wants to be there on December 23 can buy a ticket since it's for a good cause," she says.
