Earlier, Farah Khan Had Shared A Funny Incident Related To This Song

While speaking with a leading tabloid, Farah Khan who had choreographed this Shah Rukh Khan-Preity Zinta song, had recalled how King Khan went missing from the film's sets, when she pulled a prank on him by telling him that he would be emerging from a waterfall wearing nothing but a white dhoti.

'When we were shooting in Kerala for 'Jiya Jale', I told Shahrukh that we are doing a sequence at the waterfall and I am going to make you wear a white dhoti and make you come out of the water. Of course, I was joking with him; but that's the first time in 25 years that he didn't land up for a shoot. He said he lost his way and there were no Google maps then. We were in a forest in Kerala,' Farah had told a tabloid.
