A UAE resident has landed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dance on stage with superstars Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra at ‘Ahlan Bollywood’ in Dubai.
Twenty-year-old Sudhakshina Shivkumar was declared a winner by Indian director, producer and actor Sohail Khan at the final round of Shoe Mart’s ‘Dance Like a Star’ contest.
Sohail - who is younger brother to Salman - told Shivkumar that her performance was so good that he worried how about how the backing dancers would feel about having her on stage alongside them.
Sudhakshina Shivkumar will dance with Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra
spent months rehearsing but I’m nervous about their reactions when they see you dance so brilliantly,” he said.
Sohail also said he is looking forward to seeing more B-Town stars emerge from the UAE.
“That’s the thing about shows like this - we get to see so much more talent,” he said.
The Ahlan Bollywood’ concert tonight at Dubai Festival City will celebrate UAE National Day and has been organised under the theme of ‘Spirit of the Union’.
