Shantanu Maheshwari
Shantanu Maheshwari was born on the 7th of March,1991. After completing schooling from St.Joseph's college, Kolkata he shifted base from Kolkatta to Mumbai and completed his graduation in commerce from HR College of Commerce and Economics.
Coming to his dance, he was part of Anurag Dance Centre, Kolkata and from an early age he learnt the basics of dance from his mentor Anurag Mohta. In Mumbai, during his college days he became part of Street Soul Dance Crew. Fellow D3 colleague Macedon D'mello and D3 choreographer Nimit Kotian were also part of the same crew.
Shantanu has won many duo popping battles with Nimit K. as part of SSDC. He also won first place at the Nokia IndiaFest solo competition 'Footlose' in 2011, and his college team/crew were the champions in the group dance category.
Shantanu is not trained in any specific dance form but his talent and passion to keep growing and trying new things has made him perform his best in a variety of forms over time, from hip-hop to folk dance, bringing versatility in him as a dancer. He is known as an outstanding popper but enjoys dancing Bollywood routines the most. He idolises Govinda, Javed Jaffry and Prabhu Deva as dancers.
He was spotted at Nokia IndiaFest, 2011 by the Cinevistaas casting team who were looking for talented dancers for their upcoming show D3. After a series of auditions, he was roped in to play one of the lead characters, Swayam.

Swayam is a simple and selfless guy, with many hidden qualities and brings them out accordingly, when the time needs his talents because, he believes, talent is not for show-off and doesn't want to see the failure of others that drives him to succeed. His world starts with the girl, Sharon and revolves around her. He is deeply in LOVE with her and she is THE ONE, who brings out his talents either directly or by indirectly and can make him happy. Besides a great lover, he is GREAT dancer, a GOOD sportsman, a BEST friend, BEST brother and the BEST son. His never say die attitude, never ending optimism and calmness which he maintains in case of adversity is a lesson to anybody. It doesn't means he is flawless. No he is far from it. But still one can't get a character more inspirational and motivating than him.

Sharon Rai Prakash
Now if Swayam is almost like from a fairy tale then Sharon is totally antithesis of him. Sharon Rai Prakash is the most enigmatic character on D3. A Dancing Diva - she is not like the usual character we find in other show which falls under the category of black and white. She defines grey. She is complex, she is real; in short she is someone relatable. She does not follow the set trends she sets them. It's always the case of expect the unexpected with her. As a character she is such dynamic that she had never let the proceedings get mundane. Over the period of time she had evolved and matured into one of the most amazing characters. She had even calmed down in comparison to the her fiery avatar in which she was introduced but still it doesn't mean she has lost her sheen. She is still the same dazzling diva. She is the best USP of D3 after its dances and as a character she will always keep one intrigued. She is almost like a mystery no matter how much one solve there will be always more to find out.
