Malaika Arora has just come back from a long trip to the States in time for the release of Mani Ratnam8217;s Dil Se, in which she makes a guest appearance. Yes, she8217;s the Chhaiyan Chhaiyan girl who dances on top of a moving train along with Shah Rukh Khan. quot;I am really excited about watching the film,quot; she says. Malaika was in the States shooting a campaign for Benzer. And although she is best known for her modelling assignments, dancing is her first love. quot;I have been dancing all my life,quot; she says. She started ballet as a young child and then did some Bharat Natyam and jazz-ballet.
But Malaika was apprehensive about the movie, though she is only doing one song in this film. quot;Apparently, they were looking for a girl for this song. I already knew Farah Khan, the choreographer, and after she saw my Gur Naal Ishq Mitha video, they called me up. But I was not sure about it at first.quot; Her friends and family persuaded her to take the offer. quot;I thought I would do it just for fun since I quiteliked the idea of dancing on a moving train. I love challenges,quot; says the model-turned-veejay who is known to be a daredevil and is always game for a few risks. quot;I have even tried bungee jumping and love going underwater and diving with the sharks.quot;
