Shilpa Shetty has been taking odissi dance lessons for her forthcoming Indo-Chinese project The Desire. Shilpa recently completed shooting a complicated song and major scenes for the film. The actress informs that it wasnt any ordinary song " it was an Odisssi dance performance.

It was complicated because among all the songs that I've ever shot for, this has been the most difficult. In the normal course, its easy to rehearse a step and add your own style to it, not necessarily perfecting it, making it fun. But here I had to not only do a different dance form, I had to do it perfectly, making it look authentic and emote at the same time" reveals Shilpa.

The actress informs that it takes a lot of practice and she had to curve her body to autheciate the dance performance.

"well Thanks to my Guru, Ratikant Mohapatra (son of the iconic Odissi dancer Kelucharan Mohapatra) and his wife Rajshree, who were hard taskmasters, they made the impossible possible.

What is really interesting is also that I got the chance to experiment with so many different looks, right from donning all the finery for the dance performances to going simple which is the actual character."

When asked about going bald for the film Shilpa says, "Cant divulge too many details, but I'm sure it will be a film I'll be proud of. Contrary to reports, I didn't say no to going bald.

I was never asked to go bald. It was just understood that I couldn't cut my hair because of continuity I need to maintain for my other films."
