Boogie Woogie India

Second week of Mummy’s Championships dared Ravi and Naved to come up with jokes on Mothers and I must say the jokes they came up this time were best PJ’s. The joke on fire department and the one on info and lottery were the best. Jaaved added his own superb charm as usual.

The first mummy to start the Friday night’s Boogie Woogie’s episode number 3 was Shabab Banu who is 39 years old and who came in from Delhi. My heart goes out for the ones that stand out in the crowd differently and so Shabab won my heart when she came in dressed up as a Sardaar and danced fabulously on song “Tenu Dulha” from movie Sing is King. It was one entertaining and superbly put up performance. Her expressions, style and costume were awesome. The after performance talk was interesting. The accident that she spoke of before marriage was heart warming. The love between the couple showed lots of respect for one another. It was very touching and the couple set a perfect example for many couples to follow.

The next mother to perform was Shuchi Sharma who is 34 year old and who came in from Gurgaon. She danced on song Ringa Ringa from movie Slumdog Millionaire. She wore a pretty ghagra and her matkaas and jhatkaas were simply mind blowing. Her expressions and the way she moved on music stood out. With the expressions on judges faces one could easily assume that they enjoyed her performance pretty well. The after performance talk tickles your funny bone and makes you chuckle especially the way the song was translated and judges asking for mithai. She was complimented by Ravi on her dance style.

At this time they showed the clippings from Calcutta auditions. It was interesting to note that the mummy’s who went in for the auditions actually stood in the line from morning 10 till 5 and were still awaiting their number. Now that is sure a massive response and why it shouldn’t be – after all it is Boogie Woogie!

The third mummy to perform was Chetna Sagar who is from Mumbai and is 38 years old. She danced on song “hoga tamasha bepaasha” something like that. I hadn’t heard of this song before and there is a very good chance of me messing up the title. But if you know, then do correct me. But the song was taken from movie Vishwanath. If they hadn’t said, I wouldn’t have known so its good when participants come in well prepared. Chetna was dressed in black and danced western mixing it with her own style. Mummy’s are really adorable and so it is fascinating to see the way they choreographed their numbers in their own style. The best thing that I liked in her performance was her ability to shake her body. Her after performance got us the news that Reena Roy is hers and her husbands favorite actress. I am pretty sure, Reena would be more then delighted to know that. I do hope the couple get to meet their favorite. Chetna showed the picture of her father and paid him respect on Boogie Woogie stage. Jaaved spoke words of wisdom and was amazing in his speech!

The next mummy to perform was Rupanpreet who came in from Mohali and is 31 years old. She danced on a Punjabi song and it was a very catchy number – makes you tap your feet. She threw in an energetic, neat and entertaining performance. Before we go to the highlight of her after performance talk, let me say something. There are people who talk a lot and there are people who talk a lot but you enjoy listening to them and Rupanpreet was one of them. She speaks miles to dozen but has the ability to keep your attention to her. She is very sweet, honest and speaks from heart and that makes you want to listen to her more and more. She did won judges heart. She also along with her husband presented the judges her family owned 100 years old cover/sheet made with cloth and woven nicely. It was owned by her great grandparents which has been passing on as a family tradition to the next generation and that was given as a gift to the judges. I think this requires lot of courage. I sure know I wouldn’t do that. But then again this is India and anything is possible here. People in India think with their hearts and not mind and that is why this country till the time it thinks with its heart will stand out like a bright shining star. The moment we loose this touch, we will be just like any others! She also narrated how she cried when she came to know her audition results. She also had won the crown “Daughter of Punjab”. She wants to adopt an orphan and that is her dream goal. She did impress the judges as they gave her standing ovation for her thoughts. Something that is must watch is Naved! There are people who get inspired by many things but this fabulous guy I have observed every time someone comes in with pure heart and pure actions or behaviorism, he gets so happy that the expression on his face gets just amazing. He looked so proud and so happy – just like an angel on seeing the goodness around!! Rupanpreet also bowed down in respect for the judges.

The fifth mother that performed on Friday night was Geeta Soni who is again from Mumbai. She is 36 year old and she danced beautifully on Kailash Kher’s song “Saiyaan”. I was watching Boogie Woogie with my mother and my mother enjoyed this number a lot and so that rubbed on to me.  Geeta was dressed in white and threw in a delicate and graceful dance. I found her expressions were beautiful and felt that she mixed two types of dancing styles in her performance. The after performance talk was emotional. The way judges spoke was fabulous – they were appreciative, encouraging and also inspiring. Listen to Naved speaking about the show – he was awesome!!

The last participant mother to dance on Friday night was Kiran Chhabria who is 35 years old and is also from Mumbai. She danced on song “Mein Talli Ho Gayi”. She was dressed in a checks shirt with jeans and cowboy boots. I personally felt her performance to be very entertaining and energetic. She also reminded me of Neetu Singh! The after performance talk was hilarious and it was great to know that she hails from Hyderabad but married in Mumbai. I wish she represented Hyderabad instead of Mumbai Friday night saw Naved at his peak and he steals the show with the fantastic joke on plastic surgery – must watch!!
