Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor’s recent dance performance on the title track of their film Loveyapa has sparked mixed reactions from audiences. While some appreciated their effort, many criticized their chemistry and Junaid’s perceived awkwardness, leading to trolling on social media.
Addressing the criticism, Junaid admitted that he is a “really bad” dancer and shared an incident where choreographer Farah Khan canceled his dance performance in the film’s song Rehna Kol. Speaking in a conversation with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa, he revealed that Farah initially had a dance sequence planned for him but later decided against it after seeing his performance.
“Farah ma’am canceled our dance. During rehearsals, her assistants taught us the steps. But when she saw me perform, she decided to keep only Khushi’s dance and canceled my part. She asked me to perform in front of her, watched me, and said, ‘Tujhse nahi hoga, tu chalke aa. Khushi se dance hoga, tu baithke dekh isko‘ (You can’t dance, just walk. Khushi will dance, you just sit and watch her),” Junaid recounted.

Despite his struggle with dance, Junaid expressed his passion for it and recalled how he had to train rigorously for a dance sequence in his debut film, Maharaj. “I had to do garba in Maharaj. I rehearsed for 10 weeks, practicing four hours daily. If you look at me in the film, I’m so thin. It’s all Vaibhavi ma’am’s (choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant) magic,” he shared.
While Loveyapa continues to generate buzz, Junaid’s candid confession about his dancing abilities has added another layer of discussion among fans and critics alike. As the young actor navigates his way through Bollywood, it remains to be seen how he hones his skills for future projects.
