Trafalgar Square Comes Alive To The Sound Of Ghoomar

Sanjay Leela Bhansali and  Deepika Padukone  have much to be proud of. Their collaborative effort was heard resonating all the way at Trafalgar Square  in London this  Diwali day.

The magnificently-choreographed  Ghoomar  number from Bhansali’s Padmaavat was  performed  by hundreds of  Asian girls  at the historic sight on Diwali day.

A source  close to Bhansali saw this as  a triumphant  moment for  the entire team. “All the suffering and pain that we went through now seems  worth it .While Padmaavat was being made we were targeted on so many occasions. Even the songGhoomar  that  has been embraced across the world was condemned by some . We were asked to cover  up Deepika’s  midriff. It is very encouraging  to see  the  same song that caused offence  to some  being embraced so  universally. We are blessed.”

Speaking  about the song on another occasion Sanjay Leela Bhansali had said, “What  better illustration  of our prime  minster Narendra Modiji’s ‘Make In India’ policy ? I feel our culture is so rich and varied.We’ve so much to give the West. Why not take our culture and art forms  to  the West rather than continuously borrow their lifestyle and  culture? Of courseDeepika danced like  a dream.But it wouldn’t have been possible without our choreographer Kruti Mahesh and theGhoomar specialist Jyoti Tomar .”
