Farah Khan is not only a film director but also a content creator. She runs cooking vlogs on her YouTube channel and keeps visiting celebrities’ homes. Recently she reached Bollywood singer Shaan’s house. Where both of them remembered their days before becoming famous. In the conversation, Farah Khan shared an anecdote related to the film ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar’ (1992).
During the conversation in the vlog, Farah said smilingly, ‘The first film that Shaan did was ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar’. To which Shaan laughed, ‘Yes, I was there with the saxophone.’ Farah then joked, ‘And I was a junior dancer there.’ After knowing this, Shaan’s son was also surprised.
Deepak Tijori kissed Farah!
Farah further said, ‘I actually started working as an assistant director. But when they were short of dancers, I started helping with the choreography and every time no dancer came, they would push me in front of the camera. There is also a scene where Deepak Tijori kisses my cheek. The girl he wanted to kiss refused. That’s why he kissed me. When Shaan asked, ‘Did you get the money?’ On this Farah said, ‘I did not get it.’
How much fee did you get?
Whereas Shaan told that he had worked on the film for four days and he was barely visible in the final cut. He recalled, ‘After shooting for four days, I had gone there just for a passing shot in the mixing of the songs.’ Farah laughed and said, ‘I think it was Jatin’s song. I was choreographing it. The makers were so poor that they even included Jatin in the song.
In the conversation, Shaan told his fee for working in this film. He said, ‘I got ₹150 per day for four days. While the rest got ₹75. Farah laughed and said, ‘Did you get the money? I never got the money. But to be honest, what that film gave me was more valuable than any cheque. It changed my life.
