Ace choreographer Shiamak Davar - who walked the ramp for Vikram Phadnis -lists his top 3 dancers in Bollywood
Many expected Bollywood's bad boy Salman Khan to make a grand entrance at the end of Phadnis's show.
But a few eyebrows were raised when the designer, who has a penchant for using stars to showcase his collections, sashayed in with Bollywood's top choreographer Shiamak Davar.
Looking dapper in a black velvet blazer, jeans and red scarf around his neck, Davar managed to win the crowd over and even elicited a few catcalls and wolf whistles.
tabloid! caught up with Davar, who has taught many celebrities the art of dance and song routine, he said walking down a ramp was far more tougher than shaking a leg.
"I was very nervous. I could hardly think straight since I am hardly a fashion icon. When it comes to clothes, I hardly give any thought to it. I go by instincts and am not addicted to fashion either," says Davar.
But his steps may have faltered only on the ramp. When it comes to teaching Bollywood actors some dance moves, he is on a stronger footing. After having recently choreographed the Unforgettable Tour, featuring the Bachchans and other stars including Priety Zinta, Madhuri Dixit, Davar believes that 60-plus Big B is one of the most charismatic dancers in the industry.
"There were times when I saw him up on stage and could not help but marvel at his moves. He is such a legend and watching him on stage speaking, dancing and gaining crowd support is a pleasure in itself,'" says Davar who accompanied the Bachchan brigade on their world tour.
Close on Amitabh's heels is Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit and Shah Rukh Khan, whom he admires tremendously.
"Madhuri Dixit is grace personified while Shah Rukh is perseverance personified. And what I love about them is that they are perfectionists and have never-say-never attitude. Even if some of the moves are tough, they never quit trying," he says.
Asked if he would be choreographing the forthcoming Khan-led Temptations Reloaded dance extravaganza, Davar said he had too many things on his plate and was in no position to take on such a commitment.
"I am working with Shah Rukh Khan on his next movie Rab Na Bana De Jodi. But that's about it. I am not a part of the Temptations Reloaded tour."
