When Farah gave up on Junaid

Junaid and Khushi went on to jokingly state that they did not require glycerin in their dance sequences because they cried just looking at the choreographer. Junaid then reminisced about how, during the filming of a song in Loveyapa, Farah Khan decided to cut his dance section.

He said, "Farah ma’am canceled our dance. During rehearsals, her assistants taught us the steps. But when she saw me perform, she decided to keep only Khushi’s dance and canceled my part. She asked me to perform in front of her, watched me, and said, ‘Tujhse nahi hoga, tu chalke aa. Khushi se dance hoga, tu baithke dekh isko’ (You won’t be able to do it, just walk over. Khushi will dance, you just sit and watch).”

Junaid further admitted that he is "very bad at dancing" and added, "I had to do Garba in Maharaj. I rehearsed for 10 weeks, practicing four hours daily. If you look at me in the film, I’m so thin—it’s all Vaibhavi ma’am’s (choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant’s) magic. Shweta ma’am cut everything from that song. I wasn’t looking good in it, but she didn’t keep even one mid-shot of mine. She only kept wide-to-close shots, and that’s why I looked good.”

For those who have not heard of it, Farah Khan was the choreographer of this lovely song Rehna Kol from Loveyapa. The song is sung by Jubin Nautiyal and Zahrah S. Khan under the separate section of dance with Khushi while mostly Junaid is shown in the music video adoring her.
