Choreographer Terence Lewis, who is seen as a judge on "So You Think You Can Dance 'Ab India ki Baari'", paid tribute to late actor Amrish Puri on the singing reality show by dressing up in the late actor's Mogambo avatar.

As it was a costume special episode, the jury, hosts and contestants on the show were given the challenge to don the look of their favourite character.

Lewis, who is seen on the judging panel alongside Bollywood's dancing diva Madhuri Dixit-Nene and choreographer Bosco Martis, chose to portray his all-time favourite villain, Mogambo.

"I am very happy as I got the opportunity to portray my favourite character and pay tribute to one of the legendary actors of Bollywood, Amrish Puri. For this challenge I preferred to play an Indian character so that I can connect with the audience easily," Lewis said in a statement.

"It was a difficult task as we had to choose and prepare for the character in one night. I hope the audience will like my effort put in the challenge," he added.

The show, which is an Indian version of the internationally acclaimed reality format "So You Think You Can Dance", is aired on &TV.

She's never succumbed to norms. Unmindful of fashion diktats, body statistics or adhering to the template of a typical tinsel queen, Richa Chadha is an actor who enjoys surprising herself as much as she does the audiences. Right from Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! to the Gangs Of Wasseypur series and Goliyon Ki Rassleela - Ram-Leela. Robust in looks and spirit, Richa has slowly etched herself in an industry monopolised by star kids and stereotypes.

Her latest outing is as Sarbjit Singh's devastated wife, Sukhpreet Kaur, in Omung Kumar's biopic. Sarbjit traces the travails of an Indian farmer, who was suspected of being a spy by Pakistani officials and eventually died in a Pakistani jail. It was the wide spectrum that her character had to traverse - from a happy girl to a distraught and old widow - that enticed her to accept the gut-wrenching role. Richa insists the memory of meeting Sarbjit's real wife will remain an excruciating one. "She held me and started sobbing in the middle of the road. I felt so helpless even as I tried to console her. Her wounds have not healed. Politics can have a devastating effect on the life of commoners. His family has been deeply affected," she says.

She wasn't insecure about sharing screen space with the formidable Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who plays Sarbjit's braveheart sister Dalbir Kaur, around whom the film revolves. "If you want to progress in life you have to work with established people. Aishwarya is a cult figure, a legend. She is a hard working and talented actress. When I met her on the outskirts of Palghar where we were shooting, I did not feel that I was meeting a superstar. We developed a friendship. Aishwarya would talk about Aaradhya and how spending time with her is her priority now. I too shared bits about my life," she shares.

Among her other peers, Richa is close friends with Kalki Koechlin. She's all praise for Kalki as an actor as she is for her distinctive demeanour. "Kalki is a wonderful girl. Also, she has style in her blood, We were shooting Jiya And Jiya together in Sweden. I must have bought a dozen things and she bought just two but they were really tasteful. She doesn't believe in wasting money," she smiles.
