~Shantanu Maheshwari AT#3~|| The Dark Horse of KKK8 ||

Shantanu was not interested in dancing initially , his focus was into studying hard, getting good grades and a good job. His mom was his first teacher and she is the one who pushed him into dancing. He was first seen as child in boogie woogie and Kya Masti Kya Dhoom on Star Plus. In his college days, he was part of Street Soul Dance Crew and he specializes in Hip pop, Popping and (Liquid) Waving. Shan's fav style is Bollywood and his dancing idols are Prabudeva, MJ and Govinda.

D3 was a dance based fiction show featuring a group of college students following their passion for dance. The show had dancers like Vrushika Mehta, Kunwar Amar, Shakti Mohan, Sumedh Mudgalkar, Jason Tham, Macy D'mello, Samentha and Alisha Singh , Shan's choreo partner and the dancing level was awesome! Shantanu had great chemistry with co-star vrushika and their duets ranging from contemporary, waltz, Bollywood, freestyle, hip pop, blind fold dance, skate dance, and many more with group performances as well.

In 2015, he led his crew Desi Hoppers to the World Of Dance in Los Angelos and they were the first Indian to ever win this competition. They won the first place and they were also the crowd favorite as well as the judges favorite and impressed everyone with their hip pop+ Bollywood fusion! They made India proud and made an impact at international level. They also met Jaja Vakov and Terence Lewis during their preparation for WOD. The crew was invited to give a special performance on America's Got Talent (season 11) and received praise and standing ovation from judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Nick Cannon. He and his crew are currently conducting dance workshops all around India and created a new form of dance called Streetmation.

Appreciation Thread: Appreciation threads are to be used to praise and appreciate particular favorite actor/actress/celebrity. All discussions related to actor's/actress performance, looks, style and personality can be confined to ATs. Please don't use the AT's as a forum to bash/mock/discuss other celebrities/members, discuss what is happening on the forum or elsewhere on IF or other social networking sites, basically keep it related to what the AT is about. Furthermore, only singular AT's for the contestants/judges/hosts will be allowed, members will not be allowed to make 'couple' 'joined' AT's for contestants on the forum. Any such AT's created will be closed.

a. Chatting: Members seem to be more into chatting so please reduce the personal chatting because we do have a chat club for that purpose so keep that in mind. However, we do allow minimum chatting in ATs, provided it is related to this AT alone. Additionally do not spam with just emotions/numbers to increase post count/pages. Do not quote long quotes. You can quote three posts maximum and they should be small.

ATs are open for everyone, however, do not invade the AT with the purpose to rile up the fans or instigate them. Everyone has their right to voice out their opinions and should NOT be judged/generalized based on their likes/dislikes. If any of your fellow members/friends fails to follow the rules, kindly ask them to edit out or tell them it's wrong rather than joining them and aggravate the issues further and equally responsible for carrying forward an unfavorable situation. Hence be responsible and take responsibility because that way you may prevent action taken against your AT thread.

ATs/discussions threads can NOT be used to target other members and NO pinpointing activity/mock or taking digs here toward other fan groups. Any derogatory references or name callings against actors /characters/members/Dev team members are strictly PROHIBITED here.

b. Report: If you see anyone breaching the rules in any of the threads in the main forum, you will not come here and rant it out about it and snowball the issue further! Instead make use of the "REPORT" button and report the thread by stating the reason clearly. As soon as the Dev Team comes online they would take the necessary action.

We can assure you guys that we only take action where it's legit reason. However, here is a little catch for the stalkers who just want to report in order to get the AT closed down - If you report any post/comments that has no legit reason, you will be reliable for action against you for stalking.

c. Penalties: If the DT sees more than 3 people breaking the AT rules constantly for a week, the effects of violations will kick start, which go as follows:

First Violation - Warning Note

Second - Another Warning Note

Third - Another Warning Note

Fourth- Close the AT for 24 hrs (1 Day)

Fifth - Close AT for 72 hrs (3 Days)

Sixth - Close AT for 1 week (7 Days)

Seventh - Get rid of AT completely from the JDJ Forum/Shift it to Celebrity Fan Club Forum.

The rules are applicable for multiple violation and not single post as it will be dealt individually. Having said that, please do not assume that every report submitted by opposite fan group will be entertained. We will go through the reports and only if we find the report valid based on above rules, then we will speak to the Admins of the AT and action will be taken accordingly as stated above.
