Malaika Arora Reacts As Chaiyya Chaiyya Song Completes 25 Years

Check out what Malaika Arora has to say as her popular music video "Chaiyya Chaiyya" completes 25 years.

Malaika Arora became an overnight sensation in 1998 when her song “Chaiyya Chaiyya” topped the chartbusters. The Indian pop-folk song was composed by AR Rahman for Mani Ratnam’s film “Dil Se”. Even after 25 years, Malaika Arora is praised for that song. Recently, during a song launch event, Malaika was asked to comment on how she feels to gain popularity doing a song that was initially rejected by many lead actresses.

Malaika said, “It’s good that people rejected that song because it turned out to be beneficial for me. I am very happy. I believe in kismat. I think it was meant to happen. I got to work with the best, right from Farah Khan to Shah Rukh Khan, to Mani Ratnam to AR Rahman to Santosh Siwan. I had the opportunity to work with the best in the business. Even after 25 years, if you start to think of a song that created a huge impact on the big screen, everybody says that Chaiyya Chaiyya is one of those songs. Even today, people sing and dance on that song. I still get love for that song. I owe a lot to that song. So, I am very happy that I got to be a part of such a blockbuster song.”

Malaika shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in Chaiyya Chaiyya song. It was choreographed by Farah Khan while Santosh Siwan was the cinematographer.

On the work front, Malaika recently did a song with Guru Randhawa. It is titled “Tera Ki Khayal”.
