Bollywood actress Amyra Dastur has revealed how a remark from choreographer Farah Khan nearly reduced her to tears during filming.

Bollywood actress Amyra Dastur has recalled an unforgettable experience working with filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan, revealing that a joke about her dancing almost left her in tears.

The actress shared the story during a recent conversation with Farah, as the pair remembered working together on the 2017 action-adventure film Kung Fu Yoga.

A nervous moment on set

Amyra explained that she had heard stories about Farah's demanding approach to choreography and was already nervous about working with her.

During rehearsals for the song Goosebump, Farah approached Amyra and initially appeared to congratulate her.

However, the choreographer then jokingly suggested that Amyra's dancing could damage her career.

Amyra admitted that she did not initially understand Farah's sense of humour and was left feeling close to tears.

Looking back with laughter

Years later, the actress was able to laugh about the incident while recalling her early experiences in the film industry.

Farah, known for choreographing some of Bollywood's biggest musical numbers, was present as Amyra shared the memory.

The story offered fans a glimpse into the pressure performers can experience while filming elaborate Bollywood dance sequences.

Remembering Kung Fu Yoga

Released in 2017, Kung Fu Yoga starred Jackie Chan alongside Indian actors including Sonu Sood, Disha Patani and Amyra Dastur.

Directed by Stanley Tong, the action-adventure comedy brought together performers from the Indian and Chinese film industries.

Almost a decade after its release, Amyra's recollection has provided an entertaining behind-the-scenes story about the making of the film.
