However, Saroj ji's dates were becoming difficult to secure and the search for an alternative began. Coincidentally, the crew discovered that Saroj ji was also shooting in Manali at the time of Yeh Ishq but for another film. Imtiaz met her immediately and requested her to choreograph Yeh Ishq, to which she finally agreed.
Kareena, who has been a student of Saroj Khan, was rather nervous about the fact that the hard taskmaster (who doesn't take kindly to actors' mistakes while dancing) would be on the sets for four whole days to choreograph the song.
But once the shoot started, it proceeded smoothly, and both Kareena and Saroj ji immensely enjoyed their experience of working together once again!
The results are evident in the visuals of the Yeh Ishq track!
