Actor Karisma Kapoor recently took a trip down memory lane and shared a fascinating behind-the-scenes anecdote about the evergreen song Husn Hai Suhana from 'Coolie No. 1'. The song, featuring Govinda and Karisma Kapoor, remains one of the most loved dance numbers of the 1990s and continues to enjoy immense popularity among Bollywood fans.

During an appearance on India's Best Dancer Season 5, Karisma opened up about the making of the song and revealed details that many fans may not know.

The Goa illusion behind the song

While speaking on the show, Karisma highlighted how cinema often creates visual magic that audiences rarely get to see behind the scenes. She revealed that although the film's story was set in Goa, the famous song sequence was actually filmed elsewhere.Sharing the trivia, Karisma said, "So I tell you all an interesting story.

I think yehi hai cinema ka kamaal aur yehi hai dance ka, India wala dance ka kamaal. I don't know agar aapko pata hai ki nahi. This film, the story is based in Goa. Lekin woh gaane mein, we are dancing over there, The Resort Hotel, Madh Island."Karisma added, “Mujhe yaad hai David Dhawan mere paas aaye the aur kaha tha, ‘You know, yeh bahot hi achhe choreographer hain, yeh naye Ganesh Master hain.’ Woh bhi bahot shy feel kar rahe the aur main bhi bahot shy thi.

Then he had to explain it to me and tell me, ‘Look, you are dancing with Govinda, and this is an item song.’” ( “I remember David Dhawan came to me and said, ‘You know, he is a very good choreographer; he is the new Ganesh Master.’ He was also feeling very shy, and I was shy too.

Then he had to explain it to me and tell me, ‘Look, you are dancing with Govinda, and this is an item song.’)
