'Shakira is bigger than any of the Indian divas'
...says an elated Farah Khan after she made Latino pop singer Shakira dance to her tunes

Choreograher Farah Khan is going international. First it was her play Bombay Dreams that put her on the international stage and now she has made pop diva Shakira dance to her tunes in Radio City Hill, New York recently. So, what's the difference between the Indian divas and the Latino babe? "She is bigger than any of the divas I've ever met. International divas have a convoy of people of not less than 15-20 around them all the time. And our bechara Indian divas only have their mummies-daddies and the haridresser with them," says Farah. Divas are known to throw a lot of tantrums. But Shakira, says Farah, doesn't have any such delusions. "She is determined, and knows what she wants. You cannot sweet talk her, like we do here with our stars, and get away with it. Like she changed her costume to the colour orange. She told me, I want 'Sai Baba's orange colour.' So her manager surfed the net, checked the colour and got it done for her. She is sweet," recalls Farah. There are reports that they are working together in a music video. "She saw the qawalli in Main Hoon Na, and the Chaiyya Chaiyya number and raved about it. So much so that she expressed her desire to work with me. Yeh sab kehne ki baatein hoti hai. Let's see, if it works out, it will be fantastic and if not I'm cool with it."
