Geeta caught red in face


05 Jan, 2010

While casually loitering around the corridors of Famous Studio, Mahalaxmi, where Lux Dance India Dance is being shot, Master Geeta Kapoor was caught red in face and had to shield her eyes when she found young Shashank from Remo Ke Rangeeley prancing around semi nude, in just a pair of flimsy shorts.
"What in God's name are you doing? Why don't you put on some clothes?" said an angry Geeta thinking how uncomfortable people around him must be feeling, especially the female participants.
To which Shashank replied, "This is my costume for today's act.  "How disgusting!" muttered an angry Geeta, all set to blast Remo for making Shashank wear such an abysmal costume.
Little did she know that later on stage Shashank's phullikali act in the Mahisasurmardini recital will enthrall her so much that Shashank will go on to become one of her favorites.  Shashank's impersonation of a tiger coupled with Nikitasha's enactment of the asura alongside Bhawna who had dolled up as goddess Durga was 'one of a kind' and something never seen before.
Mahisasurmardini or the slayer of the evil (asura) is one of goddess Durga's avatars. The routine was brought out so beautifully by Master Remo and his 'Rangeeley' team that it turned out to be one of the best performances of the episode.  Shashank with his flimsy shorts had his entire body painted as a tiger. The act left not only Geeta ma but everybody on the sets totally spellbound.
The recital comprised of a combination of three dance forms - Phullikali and Mayurbhanj Chau and Kuchipudi.
