Mumbai, March 28 Actress Sameera Reddy decided to revisit her past and shared an old photo from her first song shoot on social media.
The photograph is from the shoot of the "Thoda Sa Pyar Hua Hai" track from the 2002 film "Maine Dil Tujhko Diya".
The song, sung by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik, features Sameera and Sohail Khan.
The photo posted by Sameera on her Instagram Stories shows her posing with choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan.
Sharing the post, Sameera wrote, "My first film song in Egypt".
"@farahkhankunder we look like kids (sic)," she further wrote.
Farah shared the story on her official handle, writing, "You were a kid! @reddysameera".
"Maine Dil Tujhko Diya", directed, produced, and written by Sohail Khan, also stars Sanjay Dutt, Kabir Bedi, and Dalip Tahil in supporting roles, among others.
While Farah choreographed Sameera, she also had the opportunity to direct her in her debut film, "Main Hoon Na".
In February, Farah revealed that she was considering Sameera for the role of Miss Chandni, which was later played by actress Sushmita Sen in "Main Hoon Na".
Recently, Farah visited Sameera at her house for her YouTube channel. While talking to the actress, Sameera revealed that she had first noticed Sameera in her popular music video "Ahista".
"Nobody knows but I had considered you for Main Hoon Na in Sushmita Sen's role. I had seen your song, ‘Aahista Kijiye Baatein’ and you were dressed in Indian wear,” Farah shared.
Surprised after hearing the revelation, Sameera asked the 'Om Shanti Om' maker, “Oh My God! I want to know why you didn’t take me.”
Disclosing the reason, Farah said that circumstances had changed.
“Because by then you had taken up ‘Maine Dil Tujhko Diya’”.
Elated to be considered, Sameera was unable to hide her disappointment at missing the opportunity.
