Mumbai, Sep 22 (NationPress) Bollywood icon Salman Khan and actress Kajol infused a dose of Ajay Devgn's dancing flair into their performance of the song “Odh Li Chunariya” from the classic 1998 movie Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya.
On September 21, Kajol and actor Jisshu Sengupta graced the popular reality series Bigg Boss to promote their latest endeavor, “The Trial” Season 2. During their appearance, Jisshu encouraged the stars to recreate the iconic number, citing their captivating chemistry in the original film.
Both Kajol and Salman admitted they had forgotten the choreography, which was famously performed by Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu.
Salman playfully proposed a 2025 version of the dance moves, suggesting, “Let’s incorporate something that Ajay would do.”
He humorously commented on the dance abilities of contemporaries like Shahid Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, and Hrithik Roshan, noting that only a “point something” of the population dances like them.
“But me, Ajay, Sanjay... we are exceptional dancers. We’re confident this talent will last a lifetime,” he joked.
Kajol added: “You are clever dancers.”
The duo began their dance, initially performing the “Singham” signature step and later transitioning to the moves of “Pehla Tu Duja Tu” from Ajay’s recent release “Son Of Sardaar 2”.
Regarding Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, a film directed by Sohail Khan, it features his brothers Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan, with Kajol as the leading lady, alongside Dharmendra in a significant role.
The plot follows Suraj, a young man who falls in love with Muskan, whose overprotective brother dislikes him at first. To win her heart, he must earn the approval of her brother and uncle.
