‘Can’t dance in front of your dad: Mona Singh on tricky climax shoot in Aryan Khan's debut, Shah Rukh Khan's sweet promise

Mona Singh opened up about the high-stakes climax of Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood,’ revealing the challenges of recreating the iconic song ‘Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela.’ In a candid interview, the actress shared how she felt “nervous” dancing in front of Shah Rukh Khan, who visited the set to support his son.

Mona Singh dance revival

In a recent interview with SCREEN, Mona Singh opened up about the “tricky” shoot, a surprise visit from Shah Rukh Khan, and the meta-moment that brought her ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ days back to life.When asked if shooting the climax of ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’ felt like ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ revived, Singh replied, “I was coming from a very different world when I was asked to shoot the climax. I’d just finished shooting Kohrra season 2. So, I was coming from such a dark, gritty world and suddenly thrown into this climax. I was like, “Okay, just give me a minute.” And Shah Rukh Khan was also there on set. He was cheering me on, “Come on, Mona!” I was dying. He was shooting for an ad in the same studio, so he came to visit. I told Aryan, “I can’t dance like this in front of your dad!” It did feel like Jhalak Dikhla Jaa all over again. It was a lot of fun, but it was a little tricky because Bobby wasn’t really shooting with us. We had to match the steps and everything was done on VFX later.”
