Aamir, Farah together after 10 years

Choreographer turned filmmaker Farah Khan has choreographed Aamir Khan in films like ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander’, Sarfarosh’ and ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and now after 10 years both will be working together. No, Aamir Khan will not be seen in Farah’s next film and nor he will be choreographed by Farah. Aamir has approached Farah to choreograph a song for Imran Khan in ‘Delhi Belly’.
Confirming the news, Farah says, “Yes, I`m doing a song for Aamir`s `Delhi Belly` because he has asked me to.”
Farah Khan has almost bid adieu to choreography professionally but she does for close friends if they request.  Retorts Farah, ‘I don`t actively do choreography any more. Only a song here or there for friends. Besides Aamir`s song I will be doing the `Housefull 2` numbers for my brother Sajid and, of course, my husband Shirish Kunder`s `Joker`. That`s it for now. No more choreography this year. I`m busy writing my next script.”
‘Delhi Belly’ is directed by Abhinay Deo starring Imran Khan in the lead.


Ash refuses to dance with Shahrukh

At the Apsara Awards function, Shahrukh Khan wants to perform to a medley of songs with numerous leading ladies of Bollywood and he wants to conclude the dance number pairing with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and grooving to the tune ‘Kajra Re’ from the film, ‘Bunty Aur Babli’ but to his surprise Ash declined to shake a leg with King Khan.
She justifies her refusal, “Her argument was that ‘Kajre Re’ was a family song and that she performed the number in ‘Bunty aur Babli’ only with her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan and husband Abhishek and that she will not dance to that song with anyone else”.
In the past too, Ash refused to share screen with Salman Khan due to some ugly spat. In 2003, she issued a press release saying, “For the sake of my well-being, sanity, my dignity and the self-respect of my family, I will not work with Salman Khan anymore. I maintained a dignified silence but he attacked the dignity of my family and me with irresponsible rumour mongering. I stood by him, enduring alcoholism, misbehaviour, and in turn I was at the receiving end of abuse, infidelity and indignity.”
Well, Ash always stands by her decision.
