Put on your dancing shoes
Thu, September 25 2008
Sushmita Sen will judge dancing contest copy Showbusiness and cricket have long been passions in India. Now the two are joining forces in a new television show that pairs well-known stars with their sporting counterparts in a dance contest.
Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena, loosely translated as A Cricketer and A Maiden, follows a similar format to the popular British variety show Strictly Come Dancing, where celebrities team up with ballroom dancing professionals.
Former England opening batsman Mark Ramprakash and fast bowler Darren Gough have both won that series, showing nifty footwork and a previously hidden talent for the Tango, Foxtrot and Cha Cha Cha.
Attempting to do something similar are fast bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, spinner Harbhajan Singh, swing bowler Irfan Pathan, wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik, former slow bowler Nikhil Chopra and former batsman Vinod Kambli.
Their partners will be stars of the large and small screen Surveen Chawla, Mona Singh, Ashima Bhalla, Nigar Khan, Barkha Bisht and Shama Sikander.
