When Babita’s Decision Left Karisma Kapoor Bleeding On Goriya Chura Na Shoot
Choreographer Ganesh Acharya revealed a shocking incident that occurred during the filming of the song Goriya Chura Na.
Karisma Kapoor was one of the biggest stars of the 90s. She is known for her mesmerising dance moves and acting prowess. In a recent interview, renowned choreographer Ganesh Acharya recalled working with her on the hit song Goriya Chura Na alongside Govinda. He shared how Karisma’s mother, Babita Kapoor, played a significant role in the filming of the song, though her insistence on a particular dance move led to an injury.
Acharya confirmed that Karisma Kapoor began bleeding while shooting the song. He said while speaking to Pinkvilla, “Yes, yes, that knee movement. Babita ji had a major hand in it."

He explained that Babita Kapoor insisted Karisma perform a step originally meant only for Govinda. Acharya recounted, “That moment was supposed to be Govinda ji’s solo, but Babita ji intervened, saying, ‘Why is he doing it alone?’ I explained, ‘Karisma is wearing shorts; it’s a knee movement.’ She insisted, ‘She will do it. Show her, make her do it.’"
Unfortunately, the dance step resulted in a painful injury for Karisma, leaving the entire set anxious. Acharya revealed that her knees were scraped during filming. “I was so afraid that I made my assistant demonstrate the move and poor Karisma couldn’t refuse. She did it wearing the same shorts, and after the song, you could see her knees were scraped. Govinda ji had knee pads under his trousers, but Karisma had no protection."
He added, “This is why Karisma Kapoor is who she is today. She worked incredibly hard and her mother, Babita ji, played a huge role in both her and Kareena’s careers."
Goriya Chura Na Mera Jiya remains one of Bollywood’s most iconic songs. It features in the 1995 film Coolie No. 1, starring Karisma Kapoor and Govinda in the lead.
