When Farah Khan called Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Karan Johar ‘background dancers’: PIC

Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan shares a close bond with many celebrities and is always full of positive, fun energy. Once she gave fans a lovely dose of nostalgia by posting a priceless old photo on Instagram, featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Karan Johar, and Anil Kapoor. The picture was taken more than two decades ago at the sangeet ceremony of Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor.

“Very famous background dancers”

Farah added her usual playful twist to the post by cheekily calling her superstar friends “very famous background dancers.”


She wrote in her caption, “Those were the days! @anilskapoor papaji in shock. Spot the very famous background dancers pls... @sanjaykapoor2500 & @maheepkapoor’s sangeet. #DanceLikeNoOneIsWatching.”

In the photo, Farah is happily dancing, while Anil Kapoor watches on with a surprised look. Just behind them, a young Shah Rukh, Salman, and Karan can be seen enjoying themselves, completely unaware they’d go on to become some of the biggest names in Bollywood.

Celebs react to the viral throwback

The heartwarming post quickly got lots of reactions. Zoya Akhtar commented, “So fun,” while Karan Johar simply wrote, “Wah.” Maheep Kapoor also joined in, adding, “Love it!!!!”

This fun moment was captured at Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor’s wedding festivities back in December 1998.

Farah Khan’s work front

On the work side, Farah recently worked as the choreographer for ‘Loveyapa’, which stars Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor, a remake of the Tamil hit ‘Love Today’. Her last film as a director was the Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Happy New Year’.
