Malaika Arora is not only a fitness enthusiast but is also an acclaimed dancer. She started her Bollywood journey with dancing atop a train with Shah Rukh Khan in the 1998 film Dil Se. Directed by Mani Ratnam, the film is known not only for the spectacular performances by Shah Rukh, Manisha Koirala and Preity Zinta, but also for Malaika's iconic number Chhaiyya Chhaiyya. At a recent TV show, Malaika Arora revealed that she was left bleeding after the song was shot.

While on the show, the reality show judge revealed that since she was swaying while dancing atop a moving train, she had to be tied with a rope which left her bleeding when it was removed.

Malaika said, "I fell several times while shooting for the song. I used to sway right and left due to the wind and to avoid that, the team tied a rope through my ghaghra to my waist and then to the train so that it would help me balance my body and sync it with the moving train. Unfortunately, when I removed the rope, I had cuts near my waist and it started bleeding, leaving everyone worried and paranoid."
