Savitha Bhatti and Jaspal Bhatti, who are a part of 'Nach Baliye-4',
spoke to us for our couple-column on dance and beyond…
Q: One dance step/form that you would never do…
Jaspal
Bhatti – I would like to try every kind of dance step. I don't know the
technical names of the dance forms that are there but I would say that
I would not be comfortable doing any vulgar moves.
Savita Bhatti – I would never do the step wherein the male dancer would lift the female dancer; I find it very dangerous.
Q: Off-screen, who dances to whose tunes?
Jaspal–
It is a universal law that the husband dances to his wife's tunes; it
is natural (laughs). But I am glad to be a part of 'Nach Baliye', where
at least here I can make my wife dance to my tunes (laughs again). It
is like a dream to be here and a chance to recognise how well you can
dance.
Savita– For the sake of rumours I can say that he dances to
my tunes, But if it is going to make him happy then I would say, I
dance to his tunes. But the truth is that it is the respect that we, or
I as a woman, have earned from my spouse. We are in a relationship and
it is about mutual respect and affection. We have our own areas of work
and we work independently; it is about the faith, freedom and respect
of your partner. And it has to come naturally and one has to be lucky
to get all these.
Q: If you were angry, which song would you want your partner to dance to woo you?
Jaspal– It is an old Dev Anand song and it is called " Acha ji mein aaon…"
Savita– I would want him to dance to an old number which goes like this, "Oh meri mehr…"
Q: If roles were to be reversed, with what song would you challenge your judges Arjun, Karisma, and Farah to dance to?
Jaspal– The song from 'Tashan', "White white face."
Savita–
The judges have mastered dance and are true experts. But if I am given
a chance to challenge them, then I would pick some old song which is a
tad slow in its rhythm. It is very challenging to choreograph for such
songs and I would like to see how the judges' would perform on it.
Q: If you had a chance to woo a Bollywood hero/heroine...which dance would you woo him/her on...?
Jaspal– It would be on Katrina Kaif on the song "Jee karda…"
Savita– I am a big fan of Hrithik Roshan and his dance moves. So I would choose him and dance on the number "Hai ke zara zara…"

Mohit
and Addite, one of the jodis in 'Nach Baliye', startled the judges with
their kathakali performance in an episode, which will be aired this
week. They performed on the "Tha karke" from 'Golmaal Returns'. And
they performed kathakali beautifully, braving many a hardship.
For
this performance, they had brought the costumes all the way from
Kerala. The headgear that Mohit wore weighed 5 kilogram! With the heavy
make up and costumes, they could not even drink and eat for hours. They
had also been fasting since morning as they could not gulp food. The
judges really appreciated both of them; Farah Khan said that they were
the most hardworking couple and complemented them for their brilliant
performance.
We spoke to the couple to know more and they said, "Actually, our theme was to
perform a Kathakali dance, but though we did have an option to change
it, we took it up as a challenge. In fact, our choreographers had to
learn the exact moves of Kathakali and teach us. We did a lot of
research by surfing the net. We wanted to give the typical authentic
performance; we were also particular about the costumes and the
outfits. We got them all from Kerala since in Mumbai stores, their
condition was pathetic. We luckily got the costumes in time and they
arrived just on the previous day of our performance. We rehearsed with
those costumes because we wanted to get used to it while performing on
stage and also get the feel of the dance. Indeed the costumes were very
heavy but we became the characters once we were in that outfit.
And it was our choice to do the dance and we did
it with confidence, sincerity, grace and most of all, piety. And we
followed the traditions with utmost respect; we did not eat or drink
until the performance; we were not supposed to wear footwear or do any
thing bad; we didn't touch non-vegetarian food for two days; we didn't
want to insult the dance form at any point.
We will not say
that it was not stressful….it was very hectic but we are glad that we
carried it off pretty well and at the end of it, we feel very
satisfied. We kept our fingers crossed throughout and this is our most
beautiful and memorable experience. We also got some good comments from
the judges which we will not disclose, but wish everybody will watch
this episode, because we did it with a lot of hard work.
That is commitment, folks… Kudos to the couple!

Diwali is a festival of fun and frolic, and above all, fireworks brings excitement and joy to the hearts of people. ...
Do you love bursting fireworks on Diwali: As a kid I used to love Diwali just because I got a chance to play with crackers. Now, I like the colourful and lightning ones which do not make much of noise.
Your Favourite Firework: I like the rockets and the smaller version of bombs.
Any firework related incident that you have experienced: Once I was about to light a "1000 wala pataka" which did not get lit even after I tried many a times. But then all of a sudden, it started to burst. My pyjama caught fire and my leg got bruised. But luckily, nothing drastic happened by the grace of God.
Fireworks, waste of money or do you think Diwali is incomplete without it: Fireworks are surely not a waste of money, because as kids, we have enjoyed a lot. Diwali is nothing without crackers. But we need to keep it to a limit and see to it that we don't disturb everyone around us at odd hours with the big noise of crackers, as few might prefer to sleep.
