With mom around, the world lights up; but at times moms can be extremely embarrassing as well.

Something similar happened when choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan's mom Meneka and her aunt Daisy Irani walked into the sets of Zee TV's reality show DID L'il Masters to give her a special surprise.

Since this was a Farah khan special episode, the kids had prepared all Farah Khan choreographed numbers. The ace choreographer was totally delighted to see a completely new and innovative choreography on the songs originally done by her.

Meneka aunty told the kids that Farah's actual name was Farahdeeba Khan and how she used to get extremely cheesed off when kids in school used to call 'dibba'.

"I used to get so irritated that one day I decided to drop deeba from my name and kept it to Farah alone" gushed Farah.

Everybody is familiar with Farah's rough and tough image but she is a real softie at heart confessed her aunt Daisy ... Here's one incident.. Every year in hotel 'Sea Rock' (Mumbai) there used to be a dance competition.

The year she won, the prize money was 2 tickets to Mauritius. Farah asked her mom who used to work in the same hotel to sell off the tickets to someone else and utilize that money to get some repair job done at home.

"She has always taken care of the family and put her family's needs before her own, " said Meneka.

"Those days contact lenses were in vogue and I badly wanted to own one.. It used to cost Rs.800/ then. For us Rs.800 was a lot of money that time. Farah took up a small job, did some survey for some oil brand and earned Rs.800/ to buy me contact lenses. "

"We all expected Farah would do well in life, but Sajid becoming successful was a shock for all of us, " cracks up Maneka talking about Farah's success.

"Sajid used to say one day I'll drive a merc and we used to tell him yeah...you will drive Dharamji's merc, " she said.

She also disclosed how after Saroj Khan quit Mansoor Khan's 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar' Farah got a chance to showcase her skills as a choreographer.

"The actors in the movie used to come to me at night to learn the steps as they were extremely petrified of Saroj Khan, " said Farah.

When Mansoor got a wind of this, he made Farah the official choreographer of the movie and she got to do the ultra romantic number 'Pehla nasha'.
