"Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa" airs on Colors. Though a lot of fuss is now made over actresses going to Hollywood, the "Happy New Year" helmer has been to the West as choreographer when no one went. "I went there when nobody went. I did a song for 'Bombay Dreams'. Jackie Chan also chose me for his upcoming film," she said. "They don't have song and dance culture, so when they think of dance they call me, and I am glad they think about me. It's our birthright to have song and dance in our films!"

B-town heroines like Kangana Ranaut, Deepika Padukone and others are in news over their remuneration these days. On this Farah said, "It is going beyond (big fees). I think now the trend is to talk about money. Like one would say how much money a film made than (talking about) how good a film is. One should talk about work and not money. It's not a healthy trend. PTI
