Vivek Oberoi goes down memory lane

Mumbai: It’s celebrities galore on the sets of Zee TV’s'Dance India Dance'. After Salman Khan and Big B made their presence felt, this week it was the very spirited Vivek Oberoi who took off full throttle. Right from reminiscing about the memories of his struggling days with Geeta Kapur to his choicest recollections with each of the other mentors — Vivek clearly stole everyone’s hearts.

He was enthralled by Shakti and Kunwar’s contemporary urban hip-hop act on Bheegi bheegi si hai raatein bheegi bheegi and Binny and Kishore’s Saathiya act.

It’s known to very few that Remo D’souza is responsible for giving Vivek one of his biggest hit songs of his career — Ae ganpat chal daaru la…But this time, Ganpat ne daaru nahi chai pilaayi. Vivek was clearly on a trip down memory lane.

He went on to narrate how during his struggling days when he was a dancer in Farah Khan’s troop, Geeta Kapur was the only girl who had given him some bhav. “Guys you won’t believe but Farah had entrusted me with the duty of serving tea to everyone! So I was this official chaiwala in Farah’s troop. Nobody used to dance with me. One day Geeta took pity on me and made me her partner; she was one of the best dancers in the troop. Also let me confess that I had one of my biggest crushes on Geeta,” revealed an ecstatic Vivek.

To Mithunda he said, “Dada, you are an idol for people like us who aspire to become somebodyand I must have seen your Julie, Julie song about 2,000 times!” Mithunda complied to his request by dancing to the song and setting the stage on fire!
