Farah Khan calls Pooja Bedi a terrible dancer, recalls choreographing her in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar’s ‘Pehla Nasha’: ‘Spot boy fainted when her skirt flew’
In her latest vlog, Farah Khan recalled a BTS moment while choreographing Pooja Bedi for the song 'Pehla Nasha' with Aamir Khan, in their film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar.

Farah Khan and her chef, Dilip, visited Kabir Bedi’s daughter, actor Pooja Bedi, and his granddaughter Alaya F‘s Mumbai apartment in her latest vlog. The filmmaker, who has choreographed Pooja in the iconic song ‘Pehla Nasha’ from the 1992 film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, with Aamir Khan, took fans down the memory lane. In the vlog, they recalled BTS bloopers of the track, when the actor was holding down her red dress atop a car. Farah also drew comparisons between Alaya and her mother, joking about Pooja’s poor dancing and presentation skills.
In the video, Farah laughed and asked Alaya about her spectacular dancing, pointing out to Pooja’s poor skills. She said, “I have spent many days with your mother. Maine unko bahut dance karvaane ki koshish ki hai. Ab mujhe poochna hai ki isko kiske genes aaye hain because you are a fantastic dancer (I tried to teach dancing to your mom, but never succeeded. Whose genes do you have?)”
The Freddy actor then revealed that she learned it on the go. “Actually, I didn’t know how to dance at all. I have worked very hard on it, honestly.” Her mother instantly imitated her, reminding her of the video of her first dance class. Everyone shared a laugh watching her awkward moves and expressions. Farah added, “That’s exactly how you danced in Naam Hai Mera Fonseca.” It is a track from Pooja’s film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar.
The filmmaker reminded the mother-daughter duo about the infamous red skirt blooper from the film. She asked Alaya, “You know about the story when she stood on the car and the spot boys standing behind fainted? Vo peeche nahi the, neeche fan pakadke khade the.”
Pooja further elaborated the incident and added, “He was not. They were standing way behind. What happened was that everytime that they would put this fan under me, I was trying very hard to hold my dress down, kyuki uddegi vo. I am standing and the fan was blowing, but nothing was happening. As soon as used to put my hands away from the skirt saying nothing is blowing, my dress would fly. When I held it down again, everyone was laughing because it was down from the front but flying from back.”
She continued, “That’s the time when a spot boy was standing at the back and I had a thong on.” Farah laughed and said, “That’s the first time I saw a thong, they were not very common those days.”
Farah Khan went on to crack friendly jokes about Pooja Bedi. She said, “I feel that Alaya is very elegant and calm. Even when I watch your response carpet appearances and interviews, there’s a very nice gentle and calm energy, especially if we compare to,” drawing a comparison while pointing out towards the Vishkanya actor.
