Shah Rukh Khan recently delighted fans by recreating the iconic "Chaiyya Chaiyya" dance with choreographer and director Farah Khan at an event in Dubai. The performance, which took place on November 14, 2025, injected a surge of energy into the audience as the duo revisited the magic of the popular Bollywood track.

The event in Dubai saw Shah Rukh Khan unveiling "Shahrukhz Danube," the first real estate project named after him. Following the unveiling, he joined Farah Khan and Rizwan Sajan on stage and broke into the famous "Chaiyya Chaiyya" dance, energizing the crowd. Videos of the performance quickly went viral, with fans praising Khan's "unmatched energy" and reminiscing about the original song.

"Chaiyya Chaiyya," composed by A.R. Rahman with lyrics by Gulzar, was featured in the 1998 film "Dil Se". The song is known for its unique blend of Sufi vibes, folk beats, and dynamic energy, and is considered a Bollywood classic. The music video, choreographed by Farah Khan, features Shah Rukh Khan and Malaika Arora dancing on top of a moving train.

Farah Khan has a long-standing professional relationship with Shah Rukh Khan, having directed him in films such as "Main Hoon Na," "Om Shanti Om," and "Happy New Year". She also choreographed "Chaiyya Chaiyya" and has often shared anecdotes about the making of the song. In one instance, she recounted how she took Shah Rukh Khan on a train overnight for the shoot, covering themselves with scarves to avoid being recognized. She also revealed that Shah Rukh Khan wanted to climb the train's chimney during the shoot, but she had to stop him.

The "Chaiyya Chaiyya" performance in Dubai is not the first time Shah Rukh Khan has revisited the song in recent years. The song continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, maintaining its status as a beloved Bollywood classic. Its global impact is further highlighted by its inclusion in the musical "Bombay Dreams" and the film "Inside Man".
