KATHAK ON ICE BARS

Keya Gupta from Bhopal should be an idol for the young upcoming dancers. TO DANCE ON ICE BARS IS AN experiment Keya did and now performed on the SONI TV's reality show ''Entertainment ke liye kuchh bhi karega''. The judges were Anu Malik and Farha Khan. Strange enough, for bringing some novelty into the Kathak, and to enter the reality show, which needs something different, Keya practised by standing on the ice bars and stretched the time upto 20 minutes successfully. Then she gave the audition in May'11 here and was selected. She danced in the show on 16 ice bars joined together as a platform. The song she chose was from Devdas 'Hampe ye kisne rang dala'. She did dance for 2.30 minutes, having the clappings from the audience from the beginning itself. Farha and Anu Malik both congratulated Keya and Farha herself came to the ice stage but could hardly managed for 6 seconds only. Keya was given a cheque for Rs.11,121 as a commending gesture. Keya owed her devotion to her guru V Anuradha Singh...Congrats Keya, u kept Bhopal high.
