Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has a strict no-TV rule for her son, Viaan. “I don’t allow my son to watch television as it gets aggressive to watch at times,” she explained.
“I am a very protective mother. I would encourage him to watch my upcoming show, Super Dancer. This would be his first tryst with television,” she said on Monday at the launch of the children’s dance show in Mumbai.
The 41-year-old actress is a judge on Super Dancer.
“There are some wonderful kids who are four-five years old and they are great dancers. I wonder my son is not as good as them. I would not bring him on the show,” she said.
Shetty added: “My all-time favourite dancer in Bollywood is [actress] Sridevi.”
Shetty is known for her suave dance moves on screen, but in real life she enjoys a different style of dance.
“I am a tapori girl. I am from Chembur [in Mumbai], like Anil Kapoor. I like tapori dance more,” she added.
“We have some really talented kids on the show. I saw a lot of different dance forms on the show that I had not seen earlier. We are also careful about the language that we use,” she adds.
“Kids dance from heart and it just melts you. It’s difficult to judge them. I think I will need a psychiatrist after the show,” she added.
The Dhadkan actress revealed her co-judge, director Anurag Basu, is a good dancer but he doesn’t show anyone his talent.
“In Anurag’s films, music is his USP. On the show we have made him dance a lot. Geeta Kapur is a combination of style and dance,” she said.
The show will be aired on Sony Entertainment Television from September 10.
