Amitabh Bachchan in 'Genie Rap' from Aladdin

I LOVE love my dance students at Bollywood Funk NYC! They totally ROCKED it last night to 'Genie Rap (Remix)' in Advanced Beginner class...See y'all Monday night for some more Jazz-Funk-Bhangra Fusion-whoopwhoop! Check the song & video from the film here: http://tinyurl.com/2ccjdyf

I had the EXTREME honor of meeting 'Ami-ji' (as he is commonly referred to by his peers) aka Amitabh Bachchan himself a few years back in NYC when I was doing Extra work on the film Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. In fact, I acted in a scene with him, but it was later cut from the film. HOWEVER, my scene with him CAN still be seen in the 'Deleted Scenes' section of the U.S. double-DVD pak release of the film. I worked with Ami-ji on two separate days; a Sunday (at a hospital in Secaucus, NJ) and the following Friday (at ABC Carpet & Home in Union Square), and the fact that he remembered me 5 days later AND said 'hello' to me and shook my hand without any prompt from me completely BLEW me away, and I will always remember that day. He probably couldn't help but remember me, as I was likely the only dorky American chick who introduced myself to him in Hindi during his time in NY....THAT was one situation in which my (limited) Hindi skills came in handy ;)  I will post that scene here soon once I find it.
