Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor are excited for the release of their upcoming film Loveyapa on February 7. In a recent conversation, Junaid discussed his experience collaborating with the acclaimed choreographer Farah Khan on the song Rehna Kol. He humorously revealed that Farah decided to remove his dance sequence after watching his rehearsals.

During a conversation with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa, Junaid said, "Farah ma’am canceled our dance. During rehearsals, her assistants taught us the steps. But when she saw me perform, she decided to keep only Khushi’s dance and canceled my part. She asked me to perform in front of her, watched me, and said, 'Tujhse nahi hoga, tu chalke aa. Khushi se dance hoga, tu baithke dekh isko (You won't be able to do it. You walk and come. Khushi can dance, you just sit and watch)."

Junaid Khan confessed that he considers himself a "really bad" dancer but emphasized that he still enjoys dancing. Reflecting on his rigorous training for a dance sequence in his debut film Maharaj, where he had to perform garba, Junaid revealed that he dedicated 10 weeks to intense rehearsals, practicing for four hours every day to perfect his moves.

He humorously pointed out how, despite his lean physique in the film, it was all thanks to the expertise of Vaibhavi Merchant, whom he credited for the magic behind the performance.
