Sonal Mansingh on small screen
Legendary danseuse and Padma
Vibhushan Dr Sonal Mansingh will be seen as the judge on a new dance
reality show to be aired on Doordarshan. The show, called Bharat Ki Shaan — Rum Jhum, is the brainchild of Gajendra Singh, who has previously helmed Antakshari, Sa Re Ga Ma, Voice of India, Music ka Maha Muqqabla and most recently, Sur Kshetra. BKS aims to juxtapose an Indian dance form with a non-Indian one, and will be hosted by Shweta Salve.
“The show will bring together different dance forms on a common platform by juxtaposing an inherently Indian form with a non-Indian dance form,” said Gajendra Singh about his new show. “The idea is to celebrate the commonalities as well as the differences of certain (dance) genres. A competitive element is interwoven with the core themes and lends excitement and engagement. The series will showcase immensely talented dancers of India and some nail-biting competition. Bollywood dance will be combined with classical, regional, folk and Western genres and keep the entertainment quotient on a high.”
Gajendra also confirmed for us that “the very talented and honorable Padma Vibhushan Dr Sonal Mansingh has agreed to be the ‘guru shrestha’ for the show”. “This is the first time that the legendary Sonal Mansingh will be a part of a dance reality show as the judge. We also have Sandip Soparrkar representing the non-Indian dance forms and Sandeep Mahavir representing the Indian dance forms. These two dynamic personalities will captain a team each and their guidance is sure to elevate the show,” Gajendra added.
