Karisma Kapoor’s shocking revelation about her hit song ‘Jhanjhariya’

Actress Karisma Kapoor revisited memory lane while shooting for a TV show. She says she had 30 outfit changes for the hit song ‘Jhanjhariya’ in the 1996 film ‘Krishna’. The dancing diva recalled the tough times that she had while filming the song.

She opened up about the song while shooting for the talent-based reality show – ‘Dance India Dance: Battle of the Champions’. “There were two versions of this song – male and female. The male version was shot in a desert in 50-degree heat while the female version was shot over three days in Mumbai. While shooting in the desert, the cast had to dance on the sand which kept flying into our eyes making it very difficult to shoot the song,” Karisma recalled.

Karisma explained why the song was so tough for her. She said, “When we started shooting for the female version, I realised I had 30 outfit changes for that one song. Every look was different with different hair and make-up. The steps were quite tough. So, ‘Jhanjhariya’ was not only an iconic song, but also the most memorable song of my career.”

‘Jhanjariya’ was sung by Alka Yagnik and composed by Anu Malik. It was written by Anand Raaj Anand. ‘Krishna’ was directed by Deepak Shivdasani and starred Sunil Shetty, Karisma Kapoor, Om Puri, Shakti Kapoor, Tinnu Anand and Kulbhushan Kharbanda. The film did quite well at the box office.

Karisma will next be seen in ALTBalaji’s web-series ‘Mentalhood’. Karisma will be seen as Meira, a small-town mom who navigates through the jungle of Mumbai’s moms.
