I just posted GC's part:
INDIAN heart-throb Gurmeet Choudhary is headed for South Africa soon. Rising to fame as Yash in ZEE TV's popular serial Punar Vivah, Choudhary has won the hearts of millions worldwide.
"All kinds of rumours have been floating around, but I can finally announce my tour to South Africa on March 23 and 24 at Emperors Palace in Joburg and the ICC in Durban for the Daily News Celebrate Bollywood Romance concert.
"I'd like all my fans to come to my performances. I was surprised to learn that ZEE TV's Punar Vivah is popular in Africa, and the character I play, Yash, is appreciated by young and older fans. I am really looking forward to performing for you," said Choudhary.
Punar Vivah recently celebrated its first anniversary, having premiered on February 20 last year with a message to bring about change in society. Its continued success has brought various twists and turns into the storyline from time to time.
The charming Choudhary was also the winner of the Indian dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5 (Dancing with the Stars). It was judged by actress Madhuri Dixit, film-maker Karan Johar and choreographer Remo D'Souza. The actor wooed the audience and judges with his stylish grooves to scoop the maximum votes, and his popularity won him the much-needed audience votes after he displayed performances ranging from robotic hip hop, semi-classical and international dance forms such as the rumba and paso doble.
"It felt really great. After working for four to five months the journey had finally come to an end. Mehnat rang layihai (the hard work paid off). The trophy belongs to my fans who voted for me," Choudhary said at the time of his win.
The TV heart-throb not only wowed his fans in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5, but also won the Most Popular Face award in the ZEE Rishtey Awards.
South African audiences will witness some wonderful acts from the singing and dancing stars, and Choudhary promises to burn up the stage with his sizzling dance performances.
An awaited highlight is that Choudhary's performances will be interwoven with Javed Ali's singing.
