Mumbai, March 26 (NationPress) Malaika Arora has voiced her enthusiasm for a potential reunion with Shah Rukh Khan for upcoming projects, especially following their legendary “Chaiyya Chaiyya” track from 1998.

This song, which achieved tremendous success, signified the start of their on-screen chemistry and remains one of the most unforgettable dance performances in Bollywood history. In a recent conversation, Malaika shared her thrill about possibly collaborating with SRK once more. She stated to IANS, “If it happens, it will happen. I’m always open to it.”

“Chaiyya Chaiyya,” an Indian pop-folk melody, was part of the movie “Dil Se.” The track, composed by the legendary A.R. Rahman and featuring lyrics by the esteemed Gulzar, remains a timeless classic in Indian cinema. Performed by Sukhwinder Singh and Sapna Awasthi, the song was visually captivating as it was shot on top of a moving train with Shah Rukh and Malaika.

Malaika further discussed the transformation of Bollywood music and its evolution over the years. Reflecting on the enduring chemistry she has with Shah Rukh in popular tracks like “Chaiyya Chaiyya,” “Kaal Kaal,” and “Gare Damaal,” she acknowledged the noticeable changes in the music industry and how it affects the reception of such songs today.

“While many songs achieve immense popularity and even eclipse the films they belong to, it’s true that a lot of contemporary music is crafted with social media in mind. The aim is to create tracks that will go viral, especially on platforms like Instagram. This is a prevailing trend. However, I believe there still exist songs that gain significant popularity, regardless of their association with a film. It’s a mixed situation, but sometimes the song itself holds more weight than the movie,” the actress elaborated.

In other news, Arora will appear as a judge on the reality show “Hip Hop Season 2” alongside Remo D'Souza.
