Content Creator’s Unusual Pitch For Her “Dream Job” Goes Viral
In a video shared online by Ashima Sahni, the woman explained that she wanted to work with Farah Khan despite having what she described as a “cosy job”. She said her husband initially laughed at the idea and found it unusual that she would consider giving up her current job for a production role. However, she argued that the opportunity offered more than a regular salary. In the video, she imagined the possibility of eating kanda bhindi at Jackie Shroff’s farmhouse or biryani at Shabana Azmi’s home while working with Khan’s team.
The woman also highlighted the networking opportunities that could come with the job. Comparing it to the value people often associate with paying large amounts for an MBA, she said that professional connections can be an important part of career growth. “Compensation is not just salary,” she said, explaining that people should also consider intangible benefits when evaluating a job. She cited flexibility, RSUs and opportunities to build professional connections as examples.
The post was captioned “Dream job, and I am not lying,” with the woman directly tagging Khan and expressing her admiration for her YouTube channel. She also asked whether there was an open position in the production crew.

The response quickly turned the playful job pitch into a potential career opportunity, with Khan offering to connect the aspiring applicant with someone from her production team.
The exchange has also highlighted how unconventional approaches to job hunting can sometimes open unexpected doors. Instead of sending a traditional application, the woman used social media to explain why she believed the role would be valuable to her beyond its salary.
