Chat With Vaibhavi Merchant
A special chat with ace Bollywood choreographer and tough judge of the show - Vaibhavi Merchant, where Vaibhavi had just as great a time, as the users!
indya: Hi Vaibhavi, welcome to indya.com Nach Baliye special chat!
guest28: Which of the Nach Baliye jodi would you take in your movie, if you are directing one?
vaibhavi: Well I would love to cast Aamir and Sanjeeda, as they are not only good looking, but they also make a great pair.
guest44: When you danced for Dhoom 2 on launch day, we saw how Aishwarya didn't do all the steps right, but you were just superb!
vaibhavi: How sweet, thank you. I am happy that somebody has complimented me here. I must thank Nach Baliye actually. Aishwarya was also good in the dance by the way. And a choreographer also has to be good na.
guest39: How was it for you to enter the industry?
vaibhavi: Well, it was not easy. Lot of opposition from family. People used to demoralise me, but all these just made me stronger. From slow, frustrating and painful journey to where I am here today. I did two films, which didn't release and then came Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. And then I got the National Award!
guest28: Who is your guru?
vaibhavi: I have many Gurus - My first guru was late Shri Madhurita Sarang, Rohilton Kama, and also Chini and Rekha Prakash.
guest17: Which actor was the most difficult to deal with in Bollywood?
vaibhavi: Hmmm... Everyone in some way or the other. And no one when they get my moves right.
guest73: I admire your choreography. How do you think about being at such a big position in the industry?
vaibhavi: I must say that I am humbled by your compliment. I have miles to go yet. Many projects lined up as well.
guest57: If you could make one Hollywood actor dance to your tune, who would it be?
vaibhavi: It will definitely be Hugh Jackman.
guest43: Kajra Re was probabaly Aishwarya's best dance number. Did you expect it to be such a huge hit?
vaibhavi: No, I didn't expect it to be a rage. I believe in giving the best to any number and the combination also won I guess.
guest57: What's the hardest part about judging?
vaibhavi: The hardest part about judging is the judgement, eliminations and comments. I haven't been brutally honest, but have been giving my honest judgement, irrespective of whether they like it or not.
guest90: Have you watched Jhalak Dhikla Ja on Sony? If you have, then what do you think about the show?
vaibhavi: I have seen it. I really like Shyamak and Urmila. I really hope the jodis do their best there and also the judges motivate them to give their best. My best wishes to them as well. There are lot of my friends there.
guest90: On a sacle of 10, how much will you give Madhuri Dixit for her dance?

vaibhavi: My most favourite is Vyjayanti and Helen among women. In men my favourites are Shammi Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborthy, Jitendra (he looks hot even today so he wouldn't belong to yesteryears according to me).
guest44: Hi Vaibhavi, you are a great dancer, where can we contact you for training?
vaibhavi: Well, no training classes yet. It would take me atleast a month to set it up. Someday when I do start one, shall inform you all through indya.com.
guest104: Vaibhavi, you are very beautiful.
vaibhavi: How Sweet. I really like you.

guest31: Are you married?
vaibhavi: No, not yet. How sweet somebody asking me this question.

guest135: Why didn't you want to be an actor? You would have given all the girls a complex!

guest133: What is your idea of a perfect guy? What is your date of birht?
vaibhavi: Birth date is 17th Dec. My idea of a perfect guy is that he should be genuine, good heart and should have a good mind.

vaibhavi: Honestly, every elimination episode is heart breaking for us. Unfortunately that's the game plan. We can only guide.
