Slip slidin' away: Rajshri Thakur

Actors Rajshri Thakur and Pawan Shankar had a funny experience on their recent Singapore tour with the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa team. The actors were a part of a concert and were supposed to perform together to various Bollywood numbers. But Pawan ended up dancing alone, while Rajshri had to leave the stage abruptly to avoid the embarrassment of a wardrobe malfunction.

An amused Pawan recalls, "We had a blast in Singapore performing to all the Bollywood songs. I was supposed to perform with Rajshri to a medley of Bollywood songs. Soon after we finished dancing to the first track 'Dholi taaro' from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, they started playing the next song, 'Shava shava'. But suddenly I saw that Rajshri had disappeared from the stage! For a moment, I was stunned and couldn't decide what to do. But I had to go on since it was a live show. It was only at the end of the show, that Rajshri came back and we performed together."

• I thought the dress might slip off, so I quickly left the stage. I know it was odd to leave Pawan alone on stage, but I had no choice – Rajshri Thakur

Left in the lurch: Pawan Shankar

When asked about her abrupt exit from the stage, Rajshri explains, "I did not get the costume beforehand, for a trial. It came at the eleventh hour and that's when I realised that the fitting was not right. After performing to one song, I realised that the outfit was really uncomfortable. I thought the dress might slip off, so I quickly left the stage. I know it was odd to leave Pawan alone on stage, but I had no choice. After readjusting my dress, I came back towards the end of the show to perform again." Did she give the designer a piece of her mind for the goof-up? "I believe in letting bygones be bygones. I felt bad about leaving the stage, but there was no point in creating a hullabaloo on this issue," she says.

That must be embarrassing for both of them. I am glad though she returned to finish the song.
