Farah Khan Shares Origin Story of Shah Rukh Khan's 'Dard-E-Disco' SongPreviousNext

Director-choreographer Farah Khan shared the origin of the song 'Dard-E-Disco' from the film Om Shanti Om during a conversation with composer Shekhar Ravjiani. The idea emerged at a party at Sonu Nigam's house, inspired by producer Bhushan Kumar's preference for painful and disco songs. The track, composed by Vishal-Shekhar with lyrics by Javed Akhtar and sung by Sukhwinder Singh, became a popular Bollywood dance anthem known for Shah Rukh Khan's performance and choreography.
