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.

Samay Raina's India's Got Latent Makes Comeback On YouTube After Ranveer Allahbadia Controversy
Samay Raina's India's Got Latent returns to YouTube months after controversy involving Ranveer Allahbadia. Fans hail it as the 'best comeback ever.' Four months after being embroiled in a major controversy, India's Got Latent — the YouTube talent show hosted by comedian Samay Raina — has quietly made a return, albeit on a different channel. The show was pulled down earlier this year after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia faced widespread backlash for making an inappropriate comment to a contestant involving their parents. The controversial remark led to public outrage and legal repercussions, with multiple FIRs filed against Ranveer, Samay, Apoorva Mukhija, and Ashish Chanchlani. Following the incident, Samay Raina took down all episodes from his official channel and issued a public statement expressing his distress. 'Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all India's Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time," he wrote. He also confirmed his full cooperation with authorities investigating the matter. Now, months later, the show's segments have reappeared online — not on the original channel but on a newly active page titled India's Got Latent Clips. The revived clips include content from public and members-only episodes, with over 500 videos currently available for viewing. Fans of the show have welcomed its digital return with open arms. Comments like '2025 is the year of comeback," 'Best comeback everrr," and 'Finallyyyyyyyy… comeback ho hi gaya Latent ka" have flooded the clips, suggesting that the core audience has remained loyal despite the controversy. Meanwhile, Samay Raina is currently touring internationally, performing across Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. His tour, which began on June 5, will conclude in Sydney on July 20. Whether this quiet return marks a full revival for the show or merely serves as a nostalgic archive remains to be seen — but for now, India's Got Latent seems to be back in the algorithm.

Kapil Sharma teases Navjot Singh Sidhu for his high fees, hints the 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' budget has been increased
Agencies How much does Navjot Singh Sidhu earning from TGIKS? Kapil Sharma has made a much-awaited return with a fresh season of The Great Indian Kapil Show, launching on Netflix. The debut episode featured none other than Bollywood icon Salman Khan, whose presence added star power to an already lively setting. As expected, Kapil's signature wit lit up the stage as he playfully engaged with his co-stars and guests, especially taking a humorous swipe at Archana Puran Singh's online content. One of the most talked-about highlights of the episode was the return of Navjot Singh Sidhu, who rejoined the show after a long gap. The show began with Kapil's trademark comic timing, and he didn't waste any time poking fun at Sidhu's return. In his typical playful style, he mentioned how fortunate they were to have a budget that could 'afford' Sidhu, alluding to the increased production values on the platform. 'I want to thank Netflix for giving us that much budget that we could afford Sidhu paaji," he quipped. Kapil warmly welcomed Sidhu back to his iconic chair, hinting at the political undercurrents behind his reappearance by joking that it was a coalition of sorts that made this comeback possible. The camaraderie between the two Amritsari entertainers was on full display as Sidhu responded in his poetic fashion, emphasizing the unbreakable bond they share, subtly taking a dig at Archana Puran Singh, who had taken over his seat during his explained the reason behind the six-month delay in launching the new season, attributing it jokingly to the long process of convincing Sidhu. He later clarified that his own film commitments had also played a role in the postponement. While the spotlight was on Kapil's upcoming films, Archana Puran Singh shared that she, too, had been busy—managing her vlogs. This led Kapil to make another playful jab, claiming that her vlogs were just a clever excuse to let her family dine out for free. In a classic Kapil punchline, he quipped that her food videos were more fraud than vlog, triggering laughs from the audience. He went further, teasing that when restaurants don't recognize her celebrity status, Archana tries to get discounts by name-dropping her husband, actor Parmeet Sethi, known for his role in Dilwale Dulhania Le to a report by , Navjot Singh Sidhu, who was last seen as a regular fixture on The Kapil Sharma Show between 2018 and 2020, had earlier earned a hefty sum of Rs 25 crore for a total of 125 episodes. This translated to an average payout of approximately Rs 20 lakh per episode during that period. However, with his recent return to the show on a digital platform, industry sources suggest that his remuneration has seen a significant upswing. Since the new season on Netflix airs only one episode per week, Sidhu is reportedly commanding a far higher fee than before. Current estimates place his per-episode salary in the range of Rs 30 to Rs 40 lakh, signaling a dramatic increase from his previous earnings. This surge in his compensation reflects both the exclusivity of the OTT format and Sidhu's continued popularity among audiences.
