Aamir Khan helped Farah in choreography for ‘Pehla Nasha’

Choreographer-turned director Farah Khan says she was “taught” the technicalities of choreography for her debut song ‘Pehla nasha’ in the Aamir Khan-starrer “Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander” by none other than the superstar himself.

“It was a great experience for me to do ‘Pehla nasha’. It was my first song and I was taking over from a very big choreographer Saroj Khan and I was the fourth assistant there.  One person who really helped me a lot that time was Aamir Khan,” she told reporters here at an event.“He literally used to teach me what are camera lenses, so he taught me the basics and technicalities. I must thank him for that. He didn’t act like a star,” she said.Farah has joined hands with Shashi Ranjan’s ITA School of Performing Arts to design a first of its kind choreography course in India.“People have often asked me when will I open dance class.  I don’t like dance classes, I had no interest in  that. I wanted to do a choreography course and so this one,” she said.“It’s a 12-week course on how to shoot, choreograph and direct a film song....this course will teach you how to direct a song for a film,”  she added.Next year Farah will complete 25 years in the industry.She said she has always been inspired by directors like Vijay Anand, V Shantaram and Guru Dutt.“When I used to watch Vijay Anand’s choreography I used to get inspired by it. And also songs of V Shantaram and Guru Dutt inspire me. Saroj Khan is a talented choreographer. I get inspired by good work,” she added.
