90s Bollywood actress Shilpa Shirodkar shared a surprising revelation about losing the opportunity to star in the iconic song ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ alongside Shah Rukh Khan. She disclosed on the show ‘India’s Best Dancer Season 05’ that choreographer Farah Khan deemed her unfit for the song due to her weight.
Shilpa recounted how Farah Khan had initially chosen her for the song but requested her to shed weight within 15 days. Despite following a strict diet, Farah still considered her overweight for the role, leading to Malaika Arora eventually featuring in the song. The actress humorously mentioned her weight loss efforts, which were deemed insufficient for the song.
During the conversation, Shilpa Shirodkar, known for her honesty, recalled the incident with judge Geeta Kapur, who confirmed being present as an assistant during that time. The candid revelation surprised everyone on the set, with the host praising Shilpa’s sincerity and humility on national television.
Shilpa Shirodkar, a prominent figure in 90s Bollywood, has been part of several successful films and TV projects. She gained fame for her roles in popular movies like ‘Himmat’, ‘Kishan Kanhaiya’, and others, establishing herself as one of the leading actresses of her time. Additionally, her appearance on ‘Bigg Boss season 18’ further solidified her presence in the entertainment industry.
