Meezaan Jafri, son of the legendary dancer Jaaved Jaaferi, shared the screen with his father in the much-anticipated film ‘De De Pyaar De 2’. This special collaboration brought back memories of Jaaved’s iconic dance days. The video of Meezaan dancing with the legendary Boogie Woogie team Jaaved, Naved Jafri, and Ravi Behl soon became a hit, introducing these dance veterans to a whole new generation. Recently, in an interview, Meezaan spoke about how memorable it was to perform the song ‘3 Shaukk’ alongside his dad. Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn disclosed that Jaaved felt a bit anxious about performing with his son and was worried about being outshone.
Meezaan’s joy in sharing screen and dance
Jaaved Jaaferi’s son Meezaan shared his excitement on BookMyShow’s YouTube channel about working with his father, saying, “I was really happy with the opportunity given that I was able to share screen space with my dad and not just that, but also dance with him. That’s what he has been known for.” Ajay Devgn talked about how Jaaved felt during the shoot, revealing, “His father was more conscious. He kept asking if Meezaan is doing better than him, and when we said ‘yes’, then he was happy also, but he was also getting stressed. He kept saying ‘this is not my style of dancing.’” Rakul added her observations, recalling, “I’m not into practice, I don’t dance that often,” highlighting Jaaved’s reluctance to rehearse.
