Dance India Dance stars rub shoulders with Bollywood bigshots at ‘Zee Cine Awards 2012 with title sponsor Lebara Mobile, powered by Neesa Premium Basmati Rice’

Zee TV’s Dance India Dance has always been one of the top reality shows in the country that has fulfilled the dreams of hundreds of dance aspirants over the years. From choreographers to actors, the show has given the industry dancing stars who have gone on to carve a unique niche for themselves. But even the realization of their long-held career dreams as dancers could not have prepared these youngsters for the exciting experience of rubbing shoulders with their favorite movie stars at the recently concluded Zee Cine Awards 2012 in Macau.

For Dharmesh, Shakti, Siddhesh,Binny, Amit & Falon, Bhawna, Parvez, Kunwar Amar, li’l Vaishnavi and Atul life couldn’t have got better when they along with other DID contestants, put up a spectacular performance at the awards ceremony in Macau! - a performance that made even the bigwigs of Bollywood sit up and take notice.

Actor Rishi Kapoor said, “Being quite an enthusiast when it comes to dancing, I have watched Dance India Dance a number of times on television. I must say the contestants have set some really high benchmarks of excellence in dancing. Their act at the awards ceremony was a sheer delight to watch. The contestants of DID are clearly at the top of their game!”

Choreographer Shiamak Davar who choreographed their act, said, “Putting together an act with the dancers of Dance India Dance is a joy to say the least. When you have talent that is waiting to explode, it is merely about channelizing their strengths in the right direction. I think they outdid themselves at Zee Cine Awards this year!”

“There is no denying that being a part of Dance India Dance has opened up many doors for me; ones that I previously would not have been able to even consider. Today, long after I have participated in the show, people recognize me wherever I go and that is a feeling unlike any other. However, having my work appreciated by superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra just takes the experience to an altogether different level and for this kind of rare exposure, I am extremely grateful to Zee TV,” said Dharmesh on his return to Mumbai after the awards show.

Watch the super talented ensemble of Dance India Dance perform at ‘Zee Cine Cine Awards 2012 with title sponsor Lebara Mobile, powered by Neesa Premium Basmati Rice, in  association with The Accident Genie, Cofresh, Royal Sweets, Champion Atta, State Bank Of India and Gujarat Tourism’ will be telecast this weekend.

It is common knowledge that once-upon-a-time-buddies Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan haven’t seen eye-to-eye following their fall-out a couple of years ago. All talks of a truce have fizzled out and a cold war persists between the two superstars. It is interesting, then, to note how Shah Rukh teamed up with Priyanka Chopra at the recently concluded Zee Cine Awards 2012 in Macau and took quite a few potshots at Salman.

As hosts of the awards ceremony, SRK and Piggy Chops were spoofing every movie nominated in the ‘Best Film’ category and Sallu’s Bodyguard was one amongst them. It all started with Priyanka showing up as Bodyguard Lovely Singh, her arms a good 6 inches away from her sides à la Salman’s trademark “macho” style. SRK naughtily suggested that “Lovely Singh” should reduce the amount of starch he uses for his clothes, that way his arms would stay straight. Priyanka went on to mimic  Salman’s “international” accent. Shah Rukh also joked about why Salman’s character from the film is called ‘Lovely’ when his body is more like Bruce Lee? Jibes were made at how Salman’s shirt invariably tears itself up towards the climax of any film he does … ! All of this tomfoolery was followed by a hilarious dance to one of the Bodyguard tracks. Let’s hope Salman takes the comedy gag at his expense with a pinch of salt!

For all this excitement and a slew of mindblowing performances by the biggest stars of Bollywood, watch ‘Zee Cine Cine Awards 2012 with title sponsor Lebara Mobile, powered by Neesa Premium Basmati Rice, in  association with The Accident Genie, Cofresh, Royal Sweets, Champion Atta, State Bank Of India, Gujarat Tourism and RDH Solicitors’ this weekend.

The recently concluded Zee Cine Awards 2012 saw several lifelong dreams come true. And one such dream was that of Zee TV’s leading ladies Mitali Nag (Krishna of Afsar Bitiya), Asha Negi (Poorvi of Pavitra Rishta) and Rati Pandey (Indira of Hitler Didi) when they had the opportunity of coming face-to-face and interacting with their heartthrob – superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

As if the news of their attending the glitzy, prestigious awards show in Macau was not enough to send the ladies over the moon, there was yet another delightful surprise to bowl them over when they landed there - A chance to be a part of the Indian and international media alongside the King Khan and ZEEL MD & CEO, Punit Goenka at a press conference on the day of the awards soirée.

At the press conference, when Mr Goenka asked SRK for his words of advice to the three leading ladies on reaching the pinnacle of success after having similarly started his career on television, Shah Rukh said in a lighter vein, “I have a tip for you three beautiful women – Just keep hugging me! Give me a hug in the morning, afternoon and evening daily and watch how your life just changes for the better…all those who have hugged me have had a successful life!” He then spoke philosophically, “As an actor, don’t ask your audience what they have given you … ask yourself what it is that YOU can give them as an actor.”  Not about to let such a golden opportunity pass them by, the three ladies immediately huddled on stage to hug the hero they’ve loved and admired for so many years.

Speaking about their brush with the Badshaah of Bollywood, Asha Negi said, “Sharing the dias with Shah Rukh has been the absolute highlight of our entire Zee Cine Awards experience. He is so down to earth and charming, we were completely floored by him.” Rati Pandey said, “It took us a while to digest that we were actually hugging Shah Rukh Khan. He spoke so well at the press conference and his words of advice to us as an actor are something we will always cherish and live by! There’s just one regret that I am left with and that is the fact that I did not ask him when I will get the chance to work with him. I was too overwhelmed at the mere sight of SRK to think coherently and collect my thoughts”

Mitali Nag added. “If Krishna has a dream of becoming an officer, Mitali has always dreamt of meeting Shah Rukh Khan because I have been in love with him for over 15 years now….I just enjoyed the moment of sharing space with him at this prestigious platform…It’s a dream come true!”

At the awards soirée, later, the fabulous trio went up on stage and expressed their love and affection for their role model Vidya Balan who started her career as a Zee actress and has carved a distinct niche for herself in the film fraternity with bravura performances year after year. A visibly touched Vidya thanked the three ladies and blew kisses at them from the audience. All in all, the awards experience in Macau turned out to be something they will cherish for a lifetime.

As the host of the recently concluded Zee Cine Awards 2012 in Macau, superstar Shah Rukh Khan was neck-deep in rehearsals through the entire course of the two days that led up to the awards ceremony. So determined was Shah Rukh to put on a stellar act that he practically skipped his meals, let go of his sleep and rehearsed non-stop till 7:30am on the very day of the awards show, only to rehearse again by 10am and be ready for the press conference by 11am.

Even after the awards soirée drew to an end well past midnight, there was a small segment that remained to be shot with Shah Rukh requiring him to dance to his popular chartbuster Chammak Chhallo. The thorough professional that he is, Shah Rukh delivered the goods without as much as raising an eyebrow. In fact, insiders reveal that it was he who coached choreographer Shiamak Davar’s troupe on the steps of the ditty since the song sequence in question was from his film Ra.One and he was better acquainted with the steps.

A source revealed, “After the awards ceremony was over around 1:30am, we still had to shoot the Chammak Challo act with Shah Rukh and since it was meant to be one of those impromptu jigs, it was not entirely choreographed and rehearsed. Besides, as a team, we had not performed Chammak Challo in the past. So, planning the steps and shooting the act could well have turned into an all night-ordeal. Thankfully, Shah Rukh saved the situation. Chammak Challo, being an act he has performed to several times over, SRK took over the mantle of choreographer and showed us the steps. With his intervention, we were able to miraculously wrap up by 4am. He turned out to be such a God send! He even sweetly hugged all the dancers at the end for having stayed up so late to shoot. Such rare humility, positivity and the attitude to help us to put up a good show!”

Mithun Chakraborty, Remo D’Souza and Terence Lewis are all seen sporting tiny ponytails this season!

The gala episode of DID 3 will not only unveil the Top 18 contestants in style but will also unravel three men in ponytails. Masters Remo D’Souza and Terence Lewis along with Grandmaster Mithun Chakraborty are all seen sporting a ponytail and looking uber cool!

Just when Dada was about to say that all the men on the floor apart from the contestants are sporting that extra tuft of hair on their backs, his attention was drawn towards Jay Bhanushali who chose to keep a cropped look. Dada asked, “Jay why don’t you join the league of extraordinary gentlemen and grow a ponytail too?” This season Jay had taken it to his heart not to get intimidated by Dada’s banters on him and quickly retorted, “Dada I am out of your league. I have always been a ladies’ man, pony or no pony!!!” No sooner did Jay say this than the entire floor burst out laughing making him search for the nearest wall to bang his head against.

“What’s new this season is an unanimous question that is asked to all three of us wherever we go… so Mithun Da and Remo both decided to sport a pony like me!” said Master Terence. Mithun Da added, “When we have decided to raise the bar in every aspect of the show, why should we shy away from sporting a new look? Not only will audiences get to see never before seen performances and a grand set, they will also see us experimenting with our attire and look.”

Let us wait and watch how our audiences react to the new look….Watch out this space for more details on India’s ace reality show, DID Season 3.
