Jaaved Jaaferi gave the look of his character in 'Dhamaal'
Actor
Jaaved Jaaferi
has shared that he was the one who designed his character in the superhit comedy franchise 'Dhamaal'. Recently, the actor spoke with
Farah Khan
on her show, and narrated the story of how the character was designed.
He told Farah, "Indra Kumar told me, 'Javed, you look smart'. I said, 'Got it'. So, I said, don't worry. He understood. Then one day, he said, 'your voice is very good'. So, I said, 'okay. I got it'".
The actor said that he picked cues from the director about how to go about the character, and retrofit his subtle demands into the character.
He said, "So, then I worked it out. I designed the character with dungarees. I gave the whole look.
So, then they put it on. On the first day of shooting, the director said, 'I didn't know'. The moment he put the camera on, we did the pizza scene. I got the lisp, and I made him weak, like, hunching. I had to look weak. If I speak and stand in a commanding position then it won't work. So, I changed my posture and gave him the lisp".
Elsewhere in the show, Javed's brother also shared how the show came into existence.
He said, "The show maker asked, 'What should we name it?' I said, 'I have a very old song. I have heard it a lot. Boogie Woogie Dancing Show'. Yes. It was my favorite. He said, 'let's name it Boogie Woogie'. There was an office. It was a small room. There were two cabins. Mr. Sudesh Iyer wanted to meet us. We met him, he said, 'What is it? I said, 'This is the show'. He was confused, and said, 'Two pages. Superb, we're doing it. That's it".

Step inside Jaaved Jaaferi's lavish home, featuring stunning interiors, a 320-degree view of Mumbai skyline, and more, its worth is...
If the phrase 'live life king size' fits anyone, it has to be Jaaved Jaaferi—and why are we saying this? Because of his recent house tour in Farah Khan's vlog. Featuring neutral tones, a balcony offering a breathtaking 320-degree view, and a lavish, expansive layout—you name it, and it's there! Farah Khan recently visited Jaaved's home in Mumbai, and it left everyone's jaw dropped. Farah shared the video of Jaaved's Mumbai home tour on her YouTube channel on June 16, accompanied by the caption, 'Aaj hum jaa rahe hain Jaaved Jaaferi ke laavish ghar! Ghar ke tour ke saath milenge Naved Jafri aur Ravi Behl – yaani Boogie Woogie ke legends! Saath mein hogi dher saari masti, baatein aur cooking – banayenge delicious Mutton Chaap aur Chicken Biscuit. Boogie Woogie ke kuch hidden yaadein bhi share karenge.' Inside Jaaved Jaaferi's Mumbai Residence Jaaved's home gives off a vibe of peace and solace, with neutral-toned walls enhanced by dark wood paneling. Adding a touch of life is the abundant greenery. A major highlight of his home is the beautiful display wall, decorated with several books, vases, ornaments, movies, and sculptures. Jaaferi's house, designed by Kush Bhayani of KULx Studio, is located in Bandra, Mumbai. The entrance of the apartment may not be royal, but the glass wall on the side attracts the most attention. Living Room, Skyline View, and More The main hall is filled with luxury. From sofas to centralized AC—you name it, and it's there. The living area also features sleek white pendant lights, a marble-top dining table paired with teak wood furniture, and dual lounge zones. The Boogie Woogie actor's home has wraparound balconies offering a stunning 320-degree view of the Mumbai skyline. The dining area of this apartment is simple, without any flashy elements. There is a special dining table made of polished wooden logs and an onyx top. This beautiful piece is designed by Talib Chitalwala and Kishor Kadam. This space also opens up to the balcony of the house. Another standout element of the home is its in-house studio, adorned with a Charlie Chaplin poster, hundreds of films, movie posters, and more. While the exact price of the home has not been revealed, it is expected to run crores. Work Front Coming to Jaaved's work front, he was last seen in Inn Galiyon Mein and the web series Taaza Khabar on JioHotstar.

How Farah Khan's One YouTube Video Summoned All ‘Boogie Woogie' Fans Of 90s
Last Updated: Farah Khan, in her recent YouTube vlog, visited Jaaved Jaaferi's house where she met up with Naved Jafri and Ravi Behl - the iconic trio of Boogie Woogie. 'Why is Farah Khan not making movies?" 'Because she's busy cooking up bangers on YouTube." If you are aware of Indian director and choreographer Farah Khan's YouTube game, it's not hard to understand why she's currently in her influencer era. Her vlogs with her man Friday, Dilip, are centered around food, fun banter, and catching up with Bollywood's noted personalities. Her recent vlog with Jaaved Jaaferi, Naved Jafri, and Ravi Behl, however, summoned the millennials like no episode of hers did before. 'Aaj hum jaa rahe hain Jaaved Jaaferi ke laavish ghar! Ghar ke tour ke saath milenge Naved Jafri aur Ravi Behl – yaani Boogie Woogie ke legends! Saath mein hogi dher saari masti, baatein aur cooking – banayenge delicious Mutton Chaap aur Chicken Biscuit (Today we are going to Jaaved Jaaferi's lavish house. Along with the house tour, we will meet Naved Jafri and Ravi Behl – the Boogie Woogie legends! Together, we will have a lot of fun, engage in conversations and some cooking – we will cook Mutton Chaap and Chicken Biscuit)," Farah's video description read. Boogie Woogie The longest-running reality show on Indian television, Boogie Woogie, was conceived by Naved, who called up Ravi and said: 'let's do something!" 'Ek din ghar pe baetha hua tha. Naved ne phone kiya. Naved roz aa jaata tha ghar pe ya main iske ghar pe called. Bola yaar kuch karte hain. Isne bola dance show banate hain. That was the most obvious thing to do. Paper pe do page ka concept likha. Gaana purana mera favourite tha. Boogie Woogie rakhte hain (One day I was at home, Naved called. Naved would come over every day or I would be at his place. He said let's do something, let's make a dance show. That was the most obvious thing to do. The concept was written on two pages. 'Boogie Woogie' was my favourite song. We titled the show 'Boogie Woogie')," Ravi, who co-founded the show with Naved, recalled. Pilot Failed, Almost After receiving a handsome cheque of Rs 14 lakh and a green signal from Sudesh Iyer, the pilot episode was shot but the Sony staff was far from convinced. When Iyer arrived at the scene and watched the first seven minutes or so of Boogie Woogie's pilot, he recognised that they were up to something special. 'Boss superhit hai. Go on-air," Iyer told the makers. And the rest was history. No Sob Fest The trio of Jaaved, Naved, and Ravi wanted the show to be organic and not a sob fest, as reality shows today use this tactic to gain viewership. The three judges instead focused on the dancing skills of their contestants rather than selling their sad stories to the public. Ravi added that they would eat food cooked by contestants' parents while filming and judging the show. Nostalgia Max Those who tuned into the episode which has been viewed over 1.4 million times since its upload on June 16, were instantly taken back in time. Recalling the 18 glorious years of Boogie Woogie, the fans of the dance show assembled in huge numbers in the comments section of Farah Khan's YouTube channel. 'Brought back Childhood memories of watching Boogie Woogie! 90s kids had a privilege to watch it!" wrote one commenter. 'Best dance show till date Boogie Woogie … Childhood nostalgia.. I'm 41 now and they're 60, (sic)" added another. 'Boogie woogie jaisa dance 🩰 show aaj tak nahi aaya,jisme real talent hi winner 🏆 hota tha, pahle se fixed nahi… hum ye teeno ko Miss karte hai, Javed sir india ke first break dancer hai.. RESPECT, (sic)" commented a third user. The Intro Remember this iconic intro? Boo!
