Alexx impresses Farah Khan
Farah Khan and Deepika Padukone will be on Nach Baliye this Friday promoting their Diwali release – On Shanti Om. The jodis were expected to dance on songs originally picturised on Shah Rukh Khan and choreographed by Farah Khan. The choreographer turned director, Farah, had also given each of the jodis a prop to incorporate in their act.
At the end of jodi no. 1’s act, Farah Khan was completely floored by Alexx and Sweta’s performance. She was especially impressed by Alexx and told him that “if I was still a choreographer I would have you as my next item boy!”
Alexx says the episode was very emotional for him and is ecstatic with Farah’s comments. “Farah’s comments were amazing. She is someone who is an inspiration for me. After having been a phenomenal choreographer she has now become a director. So for me to hear such nice things from some one like her is a brilliant thing!”
The dancer says that meeting Farah was something he was looking forward to. “Her first film Main Hoon Na is one of my favourite. I saw it on a plane on my first trip to India and this was the first time I had seen anything remotely connected to Bollywood. And so it was nice to meet her finally!”
“And then when she spoke to me personally it was awesome. It makes you feel nice that your hard work is paying off. Farah knows what she is talking about and whenever you get personal comments from people that you know professionally it feels good. I really appreciate it coming from her as for someone like me who is coming in as an outsider a compliment from someone so well established is great!” signs off Alexx. Harshita Kohli, Hill Road Media
