Malaika Arora wasn’t the first option for Chaiyya Chaiyya; five other actors declined.
Chaiyya Chaiyya wasn’t Malaika Arora’s first pick. Farah Khan was only asked to dance after five actors declined. Chaiyya Chaiyya was in 1998’s Dil Se.
Farah will discuss their 90s song on the debut of Moving In With Malaika on Disney+ Hotstar on December 5. Malaika’s digital debut.
“You’re the Chaiyya Chaiyya girl. But luckily for you, some five heroines had refused to climb on the train. Malaika was nowhere on the radar. We approached Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Shilpa Shirodkar, and 2-3 other people. One had a phobia of climbing on the train, another one was not available,” Farah told DNA.
“Then the makeup person said, Malaika is a very good dancer. When she climbed on the train, we were completely curious whether she would pull it off or not. But the rest as we know is history.”
Moving In With Malaika promises fans and haters a closer look into her life. The concert will include her friends. Her close pals, including Kareena Kapoor Khan, are anticipated to appear.
Moving In With Malaika promos show the actor-dancer discussing her personal life, moving on after her divorce, and online harassment. “For the longest time, the world has viewed me through the lens of social media. But this time I am excited to shake that up a bit. With this show, I want to break that barrier between me and my fans and invite them into my world.”
