Farah Khan recalled when she gave up on Salman Khan’s dancing.

Salman Khan is known for his swag on screen and this has been the case ever since his career started back in 1989 with Maine Pyar Kiya. Salman wasn’t as comfortable with dancing in his earlier days and while he has come a long way now, at least in terms of carrying the song with his personality, this wasn’t the case back then. In an earlier chat, Farah Khan shared that she was once given the task of teaching Salman some dance steps and after trying to teach him for four hours, Farah gave up.

In an earlier episode of Super Dancer in 2019, Farah recalled that she was asked to teach Salman to dance for one of his first screen tests. “During one of the first screen test of Salman Khan, I was supposed to teach Salman to dance. I actually ran away after four hours and cried that nobody can teach you to dance, you don’t know at all,” she said. Farah acknowledged that when Salman was cast for Maine Pyar Kiya, she was actually “shocked”. “I was shocked when I came to know the makers had selected him in the movie Maine Pyar Kiya and when I saw the movie I was even more shocked to see how good he was in it,” she said.

Farah Khan later worked with Salman Khan in many of the star’s hit numbers. In a chat with Mashable India, Farah said that “Munni Badnaam Hui” from Dabangg was one of her favourite hook steps as Salman performed it really well with Malaika Arora. She also spoke about his ‘towel step’ from “Jeene Ke Hai Chaar Din” from Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and shared that she came up with it on set. She also mentioned that he only did the step once in that song towards the end as they had already shot the whole song by then.

Salman was one of the many stars who made a guest appearance in Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om dance number “Deewangi Deewangi” and actually waited around on set so he could watch veteran actor Dharmendra perform.
