Summary
- Shirodkar revealed she missed 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' due to weight concerns.
- Farah Khan choreographer stated she was too fat for the iconic song.
- Malaika Arora ultimately performed the famous 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' song.
Actress Shilpa Shirodkar recently shared a surprising detail about her career on the dance reality show 'India's Best Dancer Season 05'. She revealed that she was initially approached for the iconic song 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' but was ultimately passed over.
Choreographer Farah Khan had apparently asked Shirodkar to lose weight within 15 days for the role. Despite her efforts, Khan reportedly deemed her still too overweight for the song, leading to Malaika Arora's casting. Shirodkar admitted she was overweight at the time, though she disputed Khan's claim of her weighing 100 kilos.
This candid admission, witnessed by judge Geeta Kapur who was an assistant choreographer, drew praise for Shirodkar's honesty. The actress, known for her roles in 90s hits and her stint on 'Bigg Boss season 18', shared this behind-the-scenes anecdote.
