Hussein: Stressed, still performing

He is now running a temperature but as a true performer, the show continues. His wife Tina says, "Hussein is not keeping well as he got stressed due to his hectic schedule. Before coming to Kolkata he had gone to London for the Indian Idol 3 show, and directly from there he came to Kolkata. We are doing stage shows across the country for a month till 4 May, on public demand we are going to perform. Due to the hectic schedules he was not able to rest for a single day and as a result he felt stressed out and caught a cold due to the change of climate. It was just a minor cold. I am taking care of him, he takes steam inhalations. He told me that the "Show must go on".

Now, is he ok?
"Yeah. He's ready to dance with me."

How many dances are they both going to perform?
There are many songs and most probably the latest one... and among the Nach Baliye dance collection we are going to perform that rope dance... Bahon ke Darmiyaan ..from Khamoshi on popular demand."

Who is the choreographer?
"Nach Baliye choreographers-Harshad and Vithal have accompanied us."

Yeah, the show has to go on.
