You
are watching your favorite movie, and suddenly your all-time favorite actor
breaks into a dance, and you just cannot take your eyes off the screen! While
popping some popcorn into your already stuffed mouth, you wonder how the actor
dances so flawlessly, clearly overlooking the efforts of the background
dancers/extras, who actually are the pillars of the performance!
It
is sad, how their efforts are gone unnoticed,whereas they slog day and night,
just to enhance the performance of the ‘star’ they are dancing behind, living
in the hope of becoming just like them one day. But obviously, nobody will look
at a background dancer, when you have a star like Hrithik Roshan or the King
Khan, occupying the centre stage!
However,
there are a few background dancers who have made it to the centerstage after
working very hard! No one can forget the Kai Po Che boy Sushant Singh Rajput,
who danced behind big names like Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Shahid Kapoor
and is a big name himself today!

Remo D’Souza, a die-hard Michael Jackson fan
is currently a judge on the reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa and dances like a
dream. Hard to believe, but initially, he was a background dancer. Unbelievably
true, the iconic Saroj Khan who has choreographed many hit numbers was a
background dancer as well. A special mention to Vikyath Poojary from Manipal
University Dubai who is a background dancer for the dance group Showstoppers and a finalist in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa.
