Leading Bollywood actors have had quite a history before joining the showbiz. We all know Akshay Kumar worked as a waiter in Bangkok and Shah Rukh Khan had no money to make a mark for himself. Similarly, Shahid Kapoor was a background dancer and was a part of many big films. One of them was Dil To Pagal Hai which starred Shah Rukh Khan, Karisma Kapoor & Madhuri Dixit.
As most know, the film was loved by critics, as well as, the audiences. Karisma portrayed the role of Nisha. She won the Filmfare Award and National Award for ‘Best Supporting Actress’. But it was the song Le Gayi that made her go through a tough time and the reason was Shahid!
A sequence of Le Gayi required a dance troupe to perform at the back. Shahid Kapoor in a conversation with Filmfare had himself revealed, “There was one guy who was slightly offbeat. I swear, with really big hair on his head, that’s me. I remember I won’t call her Karisma because at that time she was Karisma Kapoor, had to do 15 retakes because of me.”
