In the conversation, Farah Khan Kunder talks about the iconic song - Chaiyan Chaiyan and says, “You’re the Chaiyan Chaiyan girl. But luckily for you some five heroines had refused to climb on the train.”

She further adds, “Malaika was nowhere on the radar. We had approached Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Shilpa Shirodkar and 2-3 other people. One had a phobia of climbing on the train, one was not available. Then the makeup person said, Malaika is a very good dancer. When she climbed on the train, we were completely curious whether she would pull it off or not. But the rest as we know is history.”
