Did you know Saroj Khan fought with Nadeem over Raja song 'Ankhiyan Milaoon Kabhi'? 'Aapka kaam hai gana shoot karna, gana select kabse karne lagi aap?'
The song 'Ankhiyan Milaoon Kabhi' from the movie Raja faced initial conflict. Choreographer Saroj Khan doubted the song's simple music arrangement. Composer Nadeem stood firm on his creation. Khan challenged Nadeem and created iconic choreography. Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Kapoor starred in the song. The song became a major hit. It is now remembered as one of Khan's best works.
Not all iconic songs start with instant love. In the case of Ankhiyan Milaoon Kabhi from the 1995 film Raja, it took a clash between two Bollywood greats—choreographer
Saroj Khan
and composer Nadeem—to create what is now considered one of the most memorable dance numbers of the era.
In a recent appearance on The Ashok Pandit Show, lyricist
Sameer
revealed that Saroj had a strong initial reaction to the song 'Ankhiyan Milaoon Kabhi' during its recording at Sunny Sound studio. Surprised by its minimal arrangement, she questioned composer Nadeem's choice to use just one instrument, wondering how she could choreograph such a track.
At the time, composer Nadeem—part of the legendary Nadeem-Shravan duo—was at the height of his success.
Sameer shared that when Saroj Khan expressed her doubts, Nadeem firmly reminded her that her role was to choreograph, not choose songs. He confidently stated that the track would remain unchanged, regardless of who stayed on the project.
The exchange didn't end with Nadeem's remark. According to Sameer, Saroj Khan stormed out of the studio, visibly upset. She reportedly lashed out at Nadeem, questioning his attitude, and declared with determination, 'Send me the song—I'll show you what I can do,' setting the stage for one of the most iconic choreographies of her career.

Despite her initial reservations, Saroj Khan went on to transform the very song she doubted into a visual spectacle. As Sameer recalled, once the track was fully mixed,

joined the shoot—and what followed was pure magic. The choreography became one of Saroj's most celebrated creations.

Did Gisele Bündchen cast spells for Tom Brady's NFL wins? Shocking rituals revealed
Tom Brady's success had a hidden element. His former wife, Gisele Bundchen, played a key role (Getty Images) Tom Brady may be widely regarded as the greatest quarterback of all time, but behind his legendary NFL success was a force many fans never saw coming: Gisele Bündchen's spiritual intuition. During their marriage, the Brazilian supermodel played a unique and often overlooked role in Brady's career—not just as his wife and the mother of his children, but as his personal guide in spiritual energy and ritual practices. Gisele Bündchen's spiritual control over Tom Brady Tom Brady once opened up about his pre-game superstitions, and surprisingly, he credited Gisele's influence. "I've learned a lot from my wife over the years. She's about the power of intention, believing that things really are going to happen," he said. According to Brady, Gisele would create altars for him before games, complete with photos of their children, healing stones, and protective charms. 'So she put together a little altar for me that I could bring with pictures of my kids, and I have these special stones, healing stones, protection stones, and she has me wear a necklace, takes these drops she makes, and say all these mantras. I stopped questioning her a long time ago. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo ' Tom Brady opens up about his superstitious wife Gisele, 'protection stones' Spiritual forecasts that mirrored NFL outcomes Gisele didn't just offer vague spiritual support—she made specific forecasts that often aligned with Brady's performance. Before the Patriots' dramatic win over the Seahawks in the Super Bowl, she told him it would be his year. It was. In contrast, ahead of the 2015 season, she warned it wouldn't go well. The Patriots lost in the AFC Championship. In 2016, she again foresaw victory, and Brady delivered with one of the greatest comebacks in Super Bowl history against the Falcons. She also had a sense for the effort required. 'In 2019, she told me that success was still possible, but I'd have to work harder for it,' Brady recalled. Throughout their time together, Gisele playfully referred to herself as a 'witch,' casting positive energy and asking only that he trust the process—and her. While skeptics may brush off the idea of healing stones and chants, Brady never did. 'I stopped questioning her a long time ago,' he admitted. Their partnership was a blend of love, mutual respect, and faith—both emotional and spiritual. Even after their divorce, it's hard to ignore just how deeply Gisele's influence ran during Brady's years on top.
