Dance India Dance sets Guinness World Record!

By Hindustan Times
Mithun Chakraborty’s Dance India Dance (DID) has set a new Guinness World Record with the largest Bollywood dance ever performed. On March 1, 4,428 people, along with the masters of Zee TV’s talent hunt, Terrence Lewis and Remo D’Souza and 13 contestants of Season 3, gathered at Mumbai’s KJ Somaiya college grounds. Their aim was to break the previous record set by Terrence in 2011, where 1,336 people participated.
Says the elated Grandmaster Mithun Chakraborty, “DID broke the Guinness record and Dance Bangla Dance, with 126 uninterrupted episodes, has entered the Limca Book of Records. TV is no longer the small screen, it is far more challenging than movies because here every day is judgment day.”
The star points out that he’s always encouraged new talent, be it in the industry or outside. “It’s great to see youngsters copying my steps, particularly the Disco Dancer signature moves. You’ll see me perform the steps in Housefull 2, it’ll bring the house down,” he promises.
Meanwhile, another TV show, Dadagiri, in which he replaced cricketer Sourav Ganguly, is racing towards the century mark. “We were supposed to wrap up in January, but got an extension till March and now it will continue till May. I didn’t want to do it because Sourav was so good, but Zee, with whom I had done other shows, insisted. And now Dadagiri has redefined the concept of quiz shows, and proved that such shows can be intelligent yet entertaining.”
The 64-year-old actor is on a high, the only disappointment for his fans being he’s not got the Padma Shri despite three National Awards, numerous box-office hits and TV records. “Maybe I don’t have the qualities that are worthy of the national honour,” he says. “Also, you need political recommendations.”
The world record-breaking episode will be aired on Zee’s DID on March 20 at 8.30 pm.

Remo's dream comes true, AnyBody Can Dance goes on the floor

By Hindustan Times
Remo D'Souza's ambitious project, AnyBody Can Dance (ABCD), India's first dance film in 3D, has gone on the floor and the choreographer-turned-filmmaker says it is like fullfilling a long-cherished dream.
"It is like a dream coming true for me. I had always nurtured the thought of making a film on my passion - dancing. ABCD is a culmination of multiple dreams actually for me - I get to make a dance film and get the one and only Prabhu Deva to dance and act in it..," D'Souza said in a statement.
ABCD, being produced by UTV Motion Pictures, will have known choreographers like Prabhu Deva and Ganesh Acharya as part of its cast. While Lauren Gottlieb, the global winner of the popular television talent shop So You Think You Can Dance, has been roped in as the female lead.
"We are thrilled to kick off one of our most exciting projects to date, ABCD (AnyBody Can Dance), India's first ever 3D dance musical. It has always been our endeavour to bring audiences movies that are different from the tried and tested, and with ABCD we believe we're pushing the boundaries of innovative content," said Siddharth Roy Kapur, CEO of UTV Motion Pictures who is producing the movie.
The film also stars the winners of dancing reality show Dance India Dance Salman Khan, Dharmesh, Prince, Mayuresh and Vrushali essaying central characters.
Sachin-Jigar has been roped in as the music composer and the film is set to release by the end of 2012.

Nargis Fakhri: 'I dance to stay fit'

By Hindustan Times

Mumbai, Feb. 29 -- For someone who has been a professional model since she was 16, Nargis Fakhri knows the importance of being fit and fabulous.

The 31-year-old, who made her acting debut last year with Rockstar opposite Ranbir Kapoor, may not have received too many film offers, but her physiognomy has grabbed everyone's attention. Ask her what her fitness mantra is and the actor is quick to say, "I dance a lot to keep myself fit and healthy. My favourites are Zumba, yoga and swimming. They are more fun than gymming."

Recently it was her enviable pout that grabbed newsprint all around. Giving lip service to fans, she reveals her secret, "Try rubbing some sugar with cream on your lips to exfoliate. It is also important to use a good lip balm to keep them well nourished."

Nagris, who has been a Kingfisher model, is also an ambassador for her crowning glory on the small screen. She reveals, "My hair has always been my greatest asset. And in my field, styling and experimentation can make it dull. I make I get a 20-minute deep conditioning massage with hot oil daily."

With her au naturale looks, Nagris reveals that she prefers to use organic products for skincare. "I drink a lot of coconut water to keep my system free from toxics. When I'm not shooting, I don't wear makeup and just let my skin breathe. Using aloe vera is also a good idea for smooth and wrinkle-free skin. And how would she define her style? "It should be effortless. Don't blindly ape trends. Understand your body type and wear clothes that complement you and ones you're comfortable in."
