An acclaimed choreographer, director, actor, producer, and scriptwriter, Farah Khan is one of the rarest gems of Bollywood who dons many hats with elan. From stepping into the film industry as a background dancer to shining bright on the silver screen as an actor, Farah has left an impressive mark on almost every facet of the Hindi film industry. The ace choreographer who got bit by the dancing bug after watching Michael Jackson's music video, 'Thriller' back in the 80s, made her Bollywood debut as a choreographer with the iconic romantic song, 'Pehla Nasha' from Aamir Khan's 'Jo Jeeta Woh Sikander' in 1992 and went on to choreograph many more hit songs like 'Ruk Ja Oh Dil Deewane' from 'DDL', 'Dhol Bajne Laga' from 'Virasat', 'Chhaiyya Chhaiyya' from 'Dil Se' to name a few. After cementing herself as a successful choreographer of Bollywood, Farah ventured into film direction with 'Main Hoon Na' in 2004. The multifaceted personality who impressed the audience with her acting skills with her debut movie, 'Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi' in 2012, Farah is a popular face on the small screen who has appeared in numerous reality shows as a judge. As the fabulous Farah Khan is turning a year older today, we take a look back at some of the iconic Bollywood songs that are brilliantly choreographed by the legendary choreographer.
