00:00It was a dream, since I started to watch Bollywood movies when I was young.

00:16So I started with Dar, it was my first movie for Shah Rukh Khan.

00:21Then I started to love everything about Bollywood, everything about this man and the songs.

00:27I started to learn those songs.

00:31My first song was...

00:33Jadoo teri nazar, khushboo tera badan

00:47He's so humble and someone that...

00:52He's a big star, everyone knows that, but he's acting like it's nothing.

00:59Which is good, because I was in shock when I saw him.

01:05He was like, thank you for doing this version, this Arabic version, so did you learn the

01:12moves?

01:13I was, no.

01:14Sorry, I just came here and now I want to learn the moves.

01:20He told me, come, let's do it.

01:24So he was like my choreographer.

01:31No, they approach MBC Bollywood and Platinum Records, so everyone in the Middle East knows

01:39that I'm a huge fan of Bollywood music and Bollywood industry.

01:45My fans all over the Middle East know that.

01:49I was hoping someday to sing something in Hindi, or maybe something, a good movie, a

02:00big movie.

02:01But I didn't expect to be the first thing to be with Shah Rukh Khan.

02:07We made the words with Jalal Hamdawi, he's a producer, a Moroccan producer, so we thought

02:21about the best thing to do is to write it in Moroccan words.

02:29It will be much better, it will be like when we thought about the music, it's better to

02:40be in Moroccan words.

02:44So now people know the song as a Moroccan version.

02:50It's Arabic, but it's Moroccan.

02:53Not too much, it's the same, but the Arabic, the Moroccan version, it suits the song much

03:04better.

03:05I hope so, because it's huge, it's something that no one in the Middle East did before.

03:18I think if I could do it, if I could make it there, it's going to be huge.
