Key Takeaways
Mumbai, March 28 (NationPress) Actress Sameera Reddy recently embarked on a nostalgic journey, sharing a cherished throwback image from the filming of her very first song on social media.
This nostalgic snapshot originates from the music video for the track 'Thoda Sa Pyar Hua Hai', featured in the 2002 film 'Maine Dil Tujhko Diya'.
The enchanting song, performed by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik, showcases Sameera alongside Sohail Khan.
In her Instagram Stories, she posted a delightful image where she is seen with choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan.
Sameera captioned the post with, 'My first film song in Egypt'.
She jokingly added, '@farahkhankunder we look like kids' (sic).
Farah, resharing the story on her own profile, replied, 'You were a kid! @reddysameera'.
'Maine Dil Tujhko Diya', directed, produced, and scripted by Sohail Khan, also features Sanjay Dutt, Kabir Bedi, and Dalip Tahil in pivotal roles.
While Farah has choreographed Sameera's routines, she also directed her in her debut film, 'Main Hoon Na'.
Earlier in February, Farah expressed her contemplation of casting Sameera for the role of Miss Chandni, which ultimately went to Sushmita Sen in 'Main Hoon Na'.
Recently, Farah visited Sameera at her residence for her YouTube channel. During their conversation, Farah disclosed that she had first noticed Sameera in her famous music video 'Ahista'.
Farah stated, 'Nobody knows but I had considered you for Main Hoon Na in Sushmita Sen’s role. I had seen your song, ‘Aahista Kijiye Baatein’ and you were dressed in Indian wear.'
Reacting to this revelation, Sameera exclaimed, 'Oh My God! I want to know why you didn’t take me.'
Farah explained that circumstances had shifted by that time.
'Because by then you had taken up ‘Maine Dil Tujhko Diya’.'
Excited to have been considered, Sameera couldn't hide her bittersweet feelings about this lost opportunity.
