  • Shahid Kapoor gives a dancing lesson to reporter Kelly Crane at the Intercon Festival City.

Sitting in the presidential suite surrounded by Bollywood fans, it dawned on me I was probably the only person within a 50 metre radius who had never seen Shahid Kapoor in action, and I decided it was only fair I found out what I was missing.

Note to self: Never ask a Bollywood dancer to show you his moves, as you'll soon be roped in where you're not qualified or comfortable and they won't take no for an answer. Not even the mention of my shift dress and heels could get me out of this one.

A traditional romance twirl-and-hold later and I was done. Composure out the window, I would have taken him for dinner right there and then. I won't even start with what the kiss on my hand from Kapoor on bended knee kicked off!

All a-fluster, I gathered myself as best I could and gave him my best I'm-a-professional look.
