On August 29, 2025, Farah Khan debuted Aunty Kisko Bola?, a lively YouTube talent show celebrating women’s talents, no matter their age. Farah hosts this show with judges Sajid Khan and Sunita Ahuja. The show searches for India’s “No. 1 Aunty” with the motto “Hunar ki koi age nahi hoti” (Talent has no age). The show was streamed worldwide on Farah’s YouTube channel.
A Bold New Venture
Farah Khan, known for directing Main Hoon Na (2004) and choreographing over 100 songs, announced Aunty Kisko Bola? on August 28, 2025, via an Instagram teaser, with the show launching the next day. Following her YouTube channel’s 2024 success with cooking vlogs featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Ananya Panday, this eight-episode series spotlights women’s talents. The teaser, showcasing Sajid Khan and Sunita Ahuja’s dramatic entrances, promises a fun hunt for India’s top “Aunty,” with Dhinchak Pooja’s catchy title track adding zest.
Empowering Women Across Generations
Aunty Kisko Bola? showcases women from all walks of life, highlighting talents like singing and dancing, often overlooked. Weekly guest judges join Farah, Sajid, and Sunita to celebrate the idea that “talent has no age.” Farah’s Instagram post, thanking “@aslisajidkhan and @officialsunitaahuja for being our first judges,” drew praise from Mona Singh and Maniesh Paul. Sunita’s judging debut, amid cleared divorce rumors with Govinda, adds a personal spark
Cultural Impact and Industry Resonance
Building on Farah’s YouTube hits with chef Dilip, Aunty Kisko Bola? taps into the digital reality show wave, like Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent. By challenging age stereotypes, it echoes Farah’s bold projects like Om Shanti Om (2007) and Kung Fu Yoga (2017). X posts, with 70% praising its uplifting vibe, show fan excitement.
Challenges and Future Outlook
The show’s YouTube platform ensures global reach, backed by sponsors like MyQyuki and Cashify. Yet, its focus on women may limit broader appeal compared to TV shows like India’s Got Talent. Will Aunty Kisko Bola? reshape talent shows or stay a niche hit? Launched on August 29, 2025, it celebrates women’s untapped potential, spreading joy and inspiration.
