This Saturday, #SonyEntertainmentTelevision’s homegrown dance reality show ‘#IndiasBestDancer3’ will be celebrating the spirit of womanhood in the ‘#LadiesSpecial’ episode. Honouring some of India’s ‘super-women’ and their manifold skills, the contestants, along with their choreographers will pay tribute to inspiring personalities like Major Priya Jhingan – Lady Cadet No 1 and silver medallist from the first batch of 25 lady officers who were commissioned in the Indian Army, Rajani Pandit, India’s first female detective, Sudha Chandran – veteran dancer and actress and Maleesha Kharwa – a teen internet sensation. Shining bright on the show, fourteen-year-old Maleesha left everyone inspired by her extraordinary journey of making it from the slums to billboards as the face of a luxury skincare brand.
But it was contestant Sushmita Tamang and her choreographer Subhranil Paul who owned the stage by performing to the song, ‘Piyu Bole’ from the film Parineeta. Praising their performance, Geeta Kapoor exclaims, “What should I say? Sushmita, you were on fire! The cooler you look, the more you set the stage on fire with your performance!” Geeta further added, saying, “In our generation, there used to be a Musical Box with a ballerina dancing to its tune. I want you two and your performance to be in that musical box. Subhranil performed brilliantly, but Sushmita, it was you who flawlessly executed that thought. I absolutely loved your performance.”
Not only this, making the evening even more special, Maleesha will be seen requesting Sonali Bendre to teach her the art of ramp walking. Accepting her request, Sonali came onstage, and the two beauties gracefully walked down the ramp to the tune of ‘Pretty Woman’ from the film Kal Ho Naa Ho. An impressed Terence Lewis crowned Maleesha and remarked, “In the future, you might receive a real crown. You are the future Miss Universe, Miss India, Miss World.” Geeta Kapur joined them with her symbolic “Kaala Teeka” gesture, showering Maleesha with her blessings and love.
Tune into India’s Best Dancer 3 this weekend at 8:00 PM on Sony Entertainment Television.
