You may have laughed out loud at a Saroj Khan lookalike’s antics in Happy New Year but the veteran choreographer is not amused. She is rather miffed with Farah Khan for poking fun at her.
Farah Khan is known for poking fun at one and all in her films. While she came under sharp attack by veteran star Manoj Kumar for poking fun at him in Om Shanti Om, this time it is Saroj Khan who is offended at jokes on her.
The ace choreographer was made fun of on TV show Comedy Nights With Kapil too during HNY promotions. Kiku Sharda aka Palak in the show mimicked Saroj Khan.
Talking to a leading tabloid, Saroj said, “Ask Farah on my behalf: Kyun mere peeche pade huey ho? Shame on Farah and Kiku Sharda and Kapil Sharma (the first spoof happened on his show) for this kind of behaviour. What has Kapil Sharma got to do with me? Why is he part of this?”
“Farah Khan is so frustrated. I saw what they did on the TV show. Does this kind of behaviour suit her? I really feel sorry for these people. I don’t know what they stand to gain from targeting me in this way, ” she added.
Saroj blames an age ago incident during Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander as reason behind Farah for poking fun at her. “Her brother Sajid keeps talking about this incident during the shooting of Mansoor Ali Khan’s Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. But it did not happen the way the brother and sister say it did. The steps for Pehla Nasha, which Farah claims to have done, were originally mine.”
“Now, she is no longer a choreographer. She is a director. I’ve never gone to her for work. Then why do I matter so much to her? Just to stay in the news? I am no more in the limelight. I am out of the film industry now. My focus is on teaching dancing to children. I am busy with that. Allah Miyan ne pey diya hai bharega bhi wohi. Why does she feel threatened by me? Why is she feeling so frustrated? I’ve never spoken behind her back. Yet Farah and her brother continue to bitch about me.”
“I think Farah owes me an apology,” an angry Saroj said.
