Jiah Khan Discusses Hit Song in Bollywood's 'Housefull'

Twenty-two-year-old actress Jiah Khan found herself in quite a predicament in Sajid Khan's upcoming movie, 'Housefull.' She marries Aarush (Ashkay Kumar), a man already in other relationships who, ironically, believes himself to have terrible luck. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Khan discusses one of the film's main themes, 'I Don't Know What To Do.'

The song comes into the movie during the 'suhaagraat' scene -- the bedroom after their wedding night. The scene, as the above link shows, is a bit more playful than you would think. "You know, I was so excited the moment I heard the song," Khan says. "It was so hilarious and you have to closely listen to the lyrics to really know what's happening in the background. I just freaked out in it and there was so much more fun in store when we started shooting for the song."

The British-born daughter of Hindi film actress Rabiya Amin, Khan debuted in Bollywood at age 16 in Mukesh Bhatt's 'Tumsa Nahin Dekha,' and has quickly become a star to watch for in the industry. Ironically, as she states in the interview, this is her first time in traditional dress in a film.

"This is for the first time that I was wearing a saree and I really enjoyed it," she says of that scene. "This is what I always meant to do for the big screen. And I guess regarding the 'suhaagraat' sequence being revisited then I guess it's all good because somewhere we are getting a little too serious about movies. We should retain such old world charm from the '80s. It is wonderful to see such entertaining films finally coming out now."
