on one of the film's songs. She spoke about the unique challenges she faced while trying to choreograph the three actors.

Farah Khan shares a funny story from the song shoot

Farah revealed on her YouTube vlog that every lead actor had a different reason for avoiding dance steps during the filming of the song.

According to her, one actor claimed dancing was difficult while lip-syncing. Another said fatigue made it impossible to perform. Anil Kapoor, however, confidently maintained that he could manage both. Recalling the moment, Farah joked that things did not unfold as expected despite Anil's confidence.

She said, "But there was a movie, 'Kabhi Na Kabhi', in which dancers were Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, and Pooja Bhatt.

They were all together in the song. One said, 'if I lip-sync, I can't dance'. The other said, 'I can't. I'm tired too'. Anil Kapoor said, 'I can do both' and he didn't do both."
