While the world is currently busy discussing Aryan Khan's directorial debut, The Ba**ds of Bollywood, it is the climax scene featuring Bobby Deol's iconic song Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela from Gupt that has stolen the show. Aryan Khan made fantastic use of VFX by replacing one of the two dancers with Mona Singh in the original song with Bobby Deol. This has sparked widespread curiosity about who the original dancer was that got replaced.
Who Is The Original Dancer In Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela?
The original dancer is Bhanu Khan, a popular background performer of the 1990s who featured in several hit songs.
In Gupt, Bhanu Khan played the role of a glamorous bartender who is seen matching steps with Bobby Deol as Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela begins. She is the woman in the white dress whom Aryan Khan digitally replaced with Mona Singh using VFX.
