“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 can’t dance, just walk. Khushi will dance, you just sit and watch her),” Junaid Khan said.
The ‘Loveyapa’ star admitted that he was not good at dancing despite his love for it.
“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) magic,” Junaid Khan said.
‘Loveyapa,’ a modern-age rom-com, co-starring Khan with fellow star kid Khushi Kapoor in her theatrical debut as well, is directed by Advait Chandan.
