Choreographer Geeta Kapur is best known to all as the judge from Zee TV’s immensely popular Dance India Dance, where the participants love referring the lady as Geeta Maa.
However, off screen the feels lucky to have two mothers. Geeta says so referring to her biological mom and her mentor Farah Khan whose request she never turns down. Geeta said, "I never say no to Farah. If she calls me for something, I say yes without any second thoughts”. "I am lucky to have two mothers. One is my own mother and the other is Farah Khan. I have been with her since I was 15 and she cares for me like her own child," she added.
Geeta joined the ace choreographer-filmmaker Farah's group at the age of 15 and assisted her in some of the blockbusters like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kal Ho Naa Ho and Main Hoon Na. Later Geeta moved to the small screen and the 39-year-old judged dance shows like Dance India Dance, DID L'il Masters, DID Doubles and Dance Ke Superkids.
She will now be seen as a mentor on Star Plus’ India's Dancing Superstar (IDS) along with Riteish Deshmukh and Ashley Lobo. Speaking of the show, she said, "The basic format of the show allows people from different genres (of dance) to come in. Another technical thing about the show is when you come on the show; you don't have to know 10 different styles of dancing. You only need to know one; you just need to enhance the one style that you know."
