 "Farah Khan reveals she didn't do Shah Rukh Khan starrer DDLJ because of this Nana Patekar's film: 'If you’ve given your word...'")
The multi-talented personality of Bollywood, Farah Khan has choreographed many memorable songs in her illustrious career. While it is a well-known fact that the Main Hoon Na helmer got her first big break as a choreographer with Aamir Khan starrer Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar’s iconic song Pehla Nasha, when Saroj Khan didn’t turn up, same thing happened during Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol starrer Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ).
When Saroj Khan got late to reach Switzerland on the sets of _DDLJ_ , Farah was given offer. “I didn’t have a phone at my home then. My neighbour got a call. There was Shah Rukh and Adi (Aditya Chopra) on the phone. Shah Rukh asked me, ‘Farah, can you come to Switzerland tomorrow? Yash Raj Films will organise. There are 2-3 songs we need you to do.’ And I swear I told them, ‘Sorry, my dates are with Nana Patekar (for Yeshwant, 1997). Day after, I’m shooting with Nana Patekar and I can’t ditch that shooting because I’ve got a bigger film,” said Farah while talking to Radio Nasha.
“Then I didn’t do the other songs (of DDLJ). Then when they came back, Adi called me to meet him. He said, ‘I really admire that you stuck to (your commitment). Not everyone does that. The minute you get a bigger film, you dump (the smaller one).’ He had just one song left and asked me to do it. It was Ruk Ja O Dil Deewane. So I believe if you’ve given your word and if you don’t stay true to it, no one can trust you,” she added.
DDLJ, which Aditya Chopra directed also featured Anupam Kher, Amrish Puri, Farida Jalal, Parmeet Sethi, Karan Johar and others in prominent roles. It is one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Indian Cinema.
