Bigg Boss 18: Shilpa Shirodkar Recalls Being Replaced By Malaika Arora For Chaiyya Chaiyya After Farah Khan Considered Her 'Fat' (VIDEO)

Actress Shilpa Shirodkar, who is currently seen as a contestant in the reality show Bigg Boss 18, recently opened up about an offer she received to feature in the iconic Chaiyya Chaiyya song from Shah Rukh Khan's film Dil Se. However, she was later replaced by Malaika Arora, after Farah Khan, the choreographer, expressed concerns about Shilpa's weight.

During the recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Shilpa was heard telling Karan Veer Mehra and Chum Darang, "At that point of time, Farah (Khan) had asked me to lose some weight." However, after a few days, Farah informed Shilpa that she was no longer part of the song and had replaced her with Malaika.

Check out the video:

Shilpa said, "Farah told me, 'You are fat for the song,'" leaving Karan in splits. Further, he added, "Tu chadti toh train rukh jaati kya? (Would the train have stopped if you had climbed onto it?)." In response, Shirodkar humorously replied that only Farah and Dil Se's director Mani Ratnam could explain why she was not selected for the track.

Meanwhile, this week, Shilpa Shirodkar, Sara Arfeen Khan, Chum Darang, Kashish Kapoor, Digvijay Singh Rathee, and Karan Veer Mehra have been nominated for eviction on Bigg Boss 18
