In a recent conversation, acclaimed Bollywood choreographer Farah Khan and singer Shaan reminisced about their small but memorable roles in the 1992 hit film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. Farah, who was an assistant director and choreographer on the film, shared that she often stepped in as a backup dancer whenever a performer was absent. She even had a scene where actor Deepak Tijori kissed her cheek, as the original actress refused to do it.
Shaan, on the other hand, revealed that his first movie appearance was in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, where he played the saxophone.
