Kajol’s into cha-cha-cha

Fourteen dances from 14 countries. That’s what our dancing queens including Kajol, Aditi Govitrikar , Kitu Gidwani, Neeta Lulla and Smiley Suri have in store for you on April 29 — International Dance Day. The evening will be hosted by an eight-and-a-half-months pregnant Maria Goretti in Mumbai.

So instead of seeing Kajol shake her hips to Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye, you’ll see her do the cha-cha-cha . While new-mom Aditi Govitrikar will up the tempo with her mambo number, Kitu Gidwani will do the tango and Smiley Suri the meringue. Meanwhile, fashion designer Neeta Lulla will salsa along with her daughter Nishka. And if there’s Kajol, can Bollywood be far behind? There will be a Bollywood twist to the show, with a dash of contemporary Bollywood numbers thrown in. “But the dances will be pure Latin American ones,” says dance choreographer and show director Sandip Soparrkar.
Was doing the cha-cha-cha challenging for Kajol? “I simply love Latin music and the dance moves associated with it. It’s unlike any other dance. Yes it was challenging, but it was a lot of fun,” says Kajol.
