How Shah Rukh Khan’s Baazigar song made it into Operation Safed Sagar, Siddharth reveals

Operation Safed Sagar, a Golden Arrows period war drama, pays homage to the Indian Air Force's lesser-known role in India's victory during the 1999 Kargil War. The Golden Arrows are captured celebrating their engagement in the series, where they dance to the popular song "Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhein" from Shah Rukh Khan's 1993 film Baazigar.

Actor Siddharth, who plays Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja, reveals that the decision to include the song was a tribute to Shah Rukh Khan's fan, Ajay Ahuja. The sequence offers a rare glimpse of the cast enjoying a light moment before being called to war. The song and dance ritual, known as Slosh Dance, also represent the camaraderie within the Air Force, where members of all ranks come together to dance and drink.

For Ajay Ahuja, it was the last carefree moment with his wife, Alka Ahuja, before his fighter jet was shot down and he was captured by Pakistani forces. The series also delves into the relationship between Ajay and Alka, with Ajay confessing that he married her because she made great coffee, a light detail that showcases their bond.
