Dhoni has experience, should continue as captain: Kapil Dev
Kapil feels Dhoni has experience and should continue to lead India as long as he is good enough for the job.
Did you know Sushant Singh Rajput, who recently impressed with his role as Captain Cool, was a background dancer once?
Not everyone knows that but the actor was in choreographer Shiamak Davar’s troop before he became an actor.
The 30-year-old was a part of Shiamak’s dance company just like Shahid Kapoor, Varun Dhawan and a few others in the industry.
He also performed with Aishwarya Rai, Preity Zinta.
From being an engineering student to a background dancer, and now the star in many films – he has come a long way.
The choreographer is very proud of his protégé.
Expressing his pride, Shiamak says, “I felt there was something special about him back then. When Sushant wanted to take up engineering, I asked him why he hadn’t opted for acting. I told him, ‘You’re fun; you have a good understanding of the craft.’”
“He said, ‘I don’t know… education is important for me. I said, Just try, if you fail it’s okay but at least try.’ He listened to me and then he got a television role in Pavitra Rishta and then he went on to doing films.
“In Kai Po Che, he was outstanding and in MS Dhoni, he was fabulous beyond words. He is a very natural actor and that’s what I like about him. I knew somewhere that this boy had something. And he is a good dancer and it’s so important in the industry nowadays. I am so proud of where he has reached,” Shiamak said.
The choreographer added, “I am proud of him as he hasn’t forgotten the faith I had in him. He has always, in every way, always spoken about me as a teacher. It shows the kind of person he is.”
