    As an avid dancer, I’ve grown up to the jhalaks and lachuks of Shreedevi, Madhuri Dixit, and other well-known Bollywood actresses; there’s no doubt in my mind that they are as graceful as they look on the silver screen – and we all knnow this is because of the amazing help of their splendid choreographers!

    In today’s day-in-age, one of highly acclaimed and internationally known dancers is none other than the Master of Movement himself, Shiamak Davar – an Indian dancer and choreographer whose forte is in jazz. He has choreographed many Bollywood movies like Dil to Pagal Hai, Taal, Kisna, Bunty Aur Babli, I See You, Dhoom 2, and the acclaimed film, Taare Zameen Par. Gossip-talkers are even saying that Davar will be showcasing his finest moves in Subhash Ghai’s upcoming release, Main Yuvraj.

    And ladies aren’t the only ones who have learned the hottest moves from Shiamak. Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor is as good as he gets because of this amazing choreographer too!

    Recently I had the chance to sit down with this amazing dancer but it didn’t last too long because he had me dancing on my toes right away!

    When it comes to matters of the heart, of love and life, if it is meant to be, it will be. Simple as that. But, what you must realize is that it is a choice – people ultimately choose what is meant to be.”

    The truth is, we have complete control over what happens or doesn’t happen in love. It is our actions and reactions, our choices & decisions that truly define our ‘meant to be.’ Everything in love is a choice – often choices you make not even knowing any better at the time. That is why learning as much as you can, about life, relationships and love, is so important, because then only can you make educated, correct choices. When it comes to matters of the heart, of love and life, if it is meant to be, it will be. Simple as that. But, what you must realize is that it is a choice – people ultimately choose what is meant to be.

    Indian weddings are no longer what they used to be five, ten, or even fifteen years ago. In today’s generation and generations to come, Indian weddings are now looked upon as a thriving business, as well as, commodity. From the day you go to pick out your invitations till the day you return from your honeymoon, every business from A to Z is flourishing with crazed wedding planners, nervous brides, excited grooms, and their long-lost family members. Years ago when attending an Indian wedding, you would never see a “wedding planner;” however, the business of ‘event planners’ has now dipped into that of wedding planners and they are in quite a high demand – and it’s undoubtedly the most popular business of them all.
