Choreographer
Ahmed
Khan
is
back
from
the
US
after
months'
of
shooting
for
a
song
with
his
best-friend
Shahid
Kapoor.
And
Ahmed
just
can't
stop
singing
his
star-pal's
praises,
for
the
generosity
Shahid
showed
in
the
US.
The
actor
actually
made
sure
Ahmed
Khan's
kids
got
a
long-cherished
dream
come
true.
Says
Ahmed
fondly,
''I
had
been
promising
my
two
sons
Azaan
and
Subhan
a
trip
to
Disneyland
for
months.
Earlier,
when
we
shot
in
the
US
for
another
Yash
Raj
Films
Bachna
Ae
Haseeno,
I
kept
hoping
there
would
be
time.
But
I
couldn't
manage
to
get
away.
But
this
time,
Shahid
made
sure
it
happened.''
Apparently,
Shahid
not
only
ensured
that
Ahmed
wrapped
up
his
work
as
quickly
as
possible,
he
made
all
the
arrangements
for
Ahmed,
his
wife
Saira
and
two
sons
to
take
off
for
Disneyland.
''And
why
not?''
says
Ahmed
defensively.
''Shahid
and
I
are
childhood
friends.
Before
my
mother
held
my
sons
Shahid
took
them
in
his
arms.
So
it's
perfectly
natural
for
him
to
look
out
for
me
and
my
family.''
Recalling
the
fabulous
experience,
Ahmed
says,
''Out
of
the
one
month
I
spent
in
the
US,
only
12
days
were
devoted
to
shooting
the
song.
It
wasn't
even
a
dance
song.
It
was
a
concept
number
showing
the
hero
and
his
friends
splurging
and
binging
all
over
the
US.
We
shot
at
casinos
and
at
various
pleasure
and
tourist
spots
in
Philadelphia,
Orlando,
New
York,
New
Jersey
and
Chicago.''
Shahid
will
now
be
seen
in
Ahmed
Khan's
Paathshala.
''In
a
2-hour
long
film,
Shahid
is
there
for
an
hour.
So
he's
there
for
55
minutes.
His
role
is
like
Aamir
Khan's
in
Taare
Zameen
Par.
He
comes
in
mid-way
and
yes,
he's
the
teacher.
Both
Shahid
and
I
have
decided
to
focus
on
the
kids
in
the
marketing
rather
than
on
Shahid.''
