Here's the latest news from Shilpa-Raj's big fat wedding. Choreographer Ganesh Hegde has been assigned the task to plan
and polish the dance moves of everyone from family to friends for the sangeet ceremony that will be held on November 21 in
Khandala.
Talking about the event, Ganesh told a news daily, "The sangeet is not a professional thing for me. I am related to Shilpa.
We are keeping this as personal as possible and haven't involved any professional dancers.
We're planning
something cute where all the family members pay tribute to each other. Raj's younger brother is extremely enthusiastic
about it. Raj's family members will be coming down from London."
As for the theme, Ganesh adds, "There's no singular theme, but yes, we will explore and celebrate that Shilpa, who is from
a South Indian (Bunt) family, is marrying Raj, who is a Punjabi. We'll have a good mix of South Indian and Punjabi style
dance and music."
About Shilpa and Raj's special number, Ganesh says, "They will be dancing together on a lovely romantic number. We
haven't finalised the song yet but it will definitely be one of Shilpa's own numbers. Apart from Shilpa's own songs, there will
be some high-tempo numbers too. The guests won't dress in special costumes for their performances as they will anyway
be dressed in their finery."
