India’s Best Dancer Season 3: Judge Geeta Kapur Gets Emotional & Nostalgic After Witnessing Shivanshu & Samarpan’s Performance On ‘Afreen’, Says “I Never Thought I Would See The Song In This way…”

This Saturday, the entertainment quotient will be doubled as Sony Entertainment Television’s homegrown dance reality show, India’s Best Dancer Season 3 will see the contestants strive to emerge victorious in the ‘Best Ka Double Test’ and on Sunday, battle each other for ‘Best ka Battle’. Giving some awe-inspiring performances, the ‘Best 13’ will team up in groups of two or three contestants along with their choreographers and perform together to win the hearts (and marks) of the E.E.N.T specialists – judges Sonali Bendre, Geeta Kapur & Terence Lewis. And viewers are in for a treat as contestants – Shivanshu and Samarpan, along with their choreographers Paramdeep Singh and Swetha Warrier, groove to the popular song ‘Afreen Afreen’.

Shivanshu and Samarpan’s captivating performance would take judge Geeta Kapur down memory lane; she would reminisce how she choreographed the original song ‘Afreen Afreen’ in Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan‘s voice from the 1996 album ‘Sangam’. She will express her sentiments by saying, “This song is an all-time favourite for many people. I was fortunate enough to be present in the studio when this song was being made. Every instrument that was being played, whether it was the matka, the flute, or anything else, was being played to enhance the song during the process.”

“If you listen to the original live performance, it was amazing, and the way the song has been remixed now is also amazing. At the time when the song was being made, I didn’t think that it would have such a great impact, until now,” Geeta Kapur claimed.
