Guys, this just happened. You know I’ve been blogging a long time, but yesterday was definitely a high point in my “Bollywood” career! Because I got a chance to interview Madhuri Dixit about her awesome new dance (ad)venture called Dance With Madhuri. I even got to learn the moves to one of her legendary Bollywood dance songs! So for now, take a peak at my vlog (and all the pictures) but stay tuned for the FULL interview, plus answers to your #21TwitterQs coming (real soon) to a video blog near you! xoxo

And now… 10 awesome things about my exclusive interview at the “Dance With Madhuri” headquarters yesterday!

1. OMG, Madhuri Dixit’s On My Vlog!

I mean, I can’t even. Till I started vlogging on a whim last week (mostly because I got the best vlogging camera as an early birthday present from Nowshad, yay!) it never occurred to me to document ALL the crazy things I get to do everyday. Like THIS!

(And to be honest, with SO much going on in our lives, I even tend to forget what we did last weekend!) But then I realised that you might like to see what it’s like at the Team MissMalini headquarters and watch your favourite celebrities raw and unplugged like I get to 🙂 – kinda like MissMalini’s World but even more un-produced! And voila, a vlog was born. And now Madhuri Dixit’s on it and my life is complete.

2. Dr. Nene.

Dude, the guy is boss. I can’t believe he’s gone from cardiovascular surgeon to building a digital dance empire without a hiccup!

In fact he’s the one who gave me the full dish on the Dance With Madhuri App, everything from the incredible start to finish user experience to a peak at all the stats! Double thumbs up for that kind of organic growth, trust me I know what it means! #Winning

3. The Virtual Dance Academy!

Woo-hoo! You can now enroll for courses, showcase your talent and connect with dancers worldwide, all from the comfort of your own home (or rather, anywhere with an Internet connection!) Visit the website or download the app on both iOS and Android.

4. The People She’s Teaching, The People She’s Reaching…

As you watch this video you will find yourself smiling at the fact that not only have hundreds of people learnt all the moves to Madhuri’s songs, they’ve even uploaded their performances to join an ever expanding virtual dance community and they’re all having so much fun doing it!

5. The Fact That Her Nickname is “MD”.

And even her husband calls her that! Which could mean, as she said, “my dear, my darling or the Managing Director!” So cute right?!

6. She’s Even More Stunning In Person. (If That’s Even Possible.)

I mean, scroll, scroll and scroll some more. You’ll see what I mean!

There’s also something really warm and welcoming about her, which I can’t say you see all that often in that generation of Bollywood superstars (I’m looking at you Kajol. LOL). So imagine how lovely it will be to learn how to dance from Madhuri herself, as she smiles at you and teaches you all her signature moves, for FREE! #Sold

7. The Hair Police!

Ever so often during our interview, one of Madhuri’s minders signalled that she should sweep her hair back over her shoulder. It was terribly cute and even cuter that Madhuri referred to her as the “hair police”!

8. She Taught Us The Moves to Mai Ni Mai!

How insane is that?! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched Hum Apke Hain Kaun and I even danced to Mai Ni Mai at my sister’s wedding!

9. The DWM App is Gamified & We Got Awesome DWM Tees!

From Sprouting Beej to the master Natraj you’ve got all the thrills of crossing new levels! I told her Team MissMalini’s dance crew is on the job, stay tuned for our very first #DanceWithMadhuri performance coming soon to an app near you!
