Kareena Kapoor Khan loves doing Bollywood jhatkas but on the upcoming TV show, Dance India Dance, choreographers Shazia Samji and Piyush Bhagat made her do contemporary dance styles, voguing and wacking. Bebo rehearsed for two days before getting jiggy on the Tareefan track for the show's opening episode. The actor features as a judge on the show.
This being her television debut, Kareena Kapoor took some time to deliberate on whether to take up the stint or not. The actress told mid-day, "My management told me about DID's offer, but initially, I wasn't sure. It has been a long-standing show. In their 10th year, they have revamped the concept, made it a 360-degree set with over 200 cameras shooting the acts. So, I was excited to join them."
Kareena found great excitement and support from husband Saif and son Taimur. She further added, "I made it clear that I don't work for more than eight hours because of my son [Taimur]. Sometimes, I can make an exception of working up to 12 hours. The makers have been kind and worked out everything the way I wanted."
