Farah Khan recalls on Malaika Arora entry for Chhaiya Chhaiya song With Shah Rukh Khan

Farah Khan recently over a media interaction revealed how Malaika Arora was roped in for the Chhaiya Chhaiya song with Shah Rukh Khan from film
‘Dil Se’

Fara further recalled that she had approached Shilpa Shetty and Raveena Tandon, but, both rejected.

Notedly, the song Chaiyya Chaiyya from the film Dil Se continues to remain an iconic song even after years.
AR Rahman composed it, and Sukhwinder Singh and Sapna Awasthi sang it.

Farah also went on to reveal that every heroine had refused to do that song. So that’s what she would say, ‘You have to be on the right time at the right place’. Nobody she new Malaika was a model. Farah knew her because we knew Arbaaz (Khan) then she was seeing him. She also didn’t know she can dance.

Earlier, Farah, who is currently seen as a judge on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa with Malaika and Arshad Warsi, revealed that it was very difficult to dance on the moving train and that everyone was scared. “Everyone says she discovered Deepika (Padukone), but she discovered Malaika first. She is her first child

She also recalled how Malaika was trembling on the train for the dance number. We just made her climb the train. She was trembling; literally, there was no safety, nothing. She had no makeup on, just kajal and a tattoo that Geeta (Kapur) made on her arms. And of course, Shah Rukh was there with her,” concluded Farah.
