Actor and comedian Jaaved Jaaferi, who introduced the country to break dance, went down the memory lane and recalled meeting legend Michael Jackson (MJ) in New York.

Known as the 바카라˜King of Pop바카라™, MJ was a singer and dancer, who in his four decades of career, contributed widely to music, dance and fashion. He also popularised the dance move 바카라˜moonwalk바카라™.

Jaaved, who appeared on the special episode of the celebrity dance reality show 바카라˜Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa바카라™, reminisced about meeting MJ and shared: 바카라œThere was an award function in New York where he was honoured by an Indian society. He came on stage when there was no one else present except me, as I was hosting the show at that moment. As he was coming up, I shared that moment with him, and when he was leaving, I was like, 'I won't let him go,' and I asked, 'Can I give you a hug?' He said, 'Yes, of course,' and he lovingly hugged me.바카라

바카라œIt was a very special moment because Michael Jackson hugged me. So, it will remain with me forever. I had introduced him on stage at the event, and he said, 'Oh, you did a wonderful job, thank you.' I said, 'It's a big thing for me.' He is on a different level,바카라 said the 바카라˜Bala바카라™ fame actor.

He further recounted how his expecting wife insisted on watching the MJ perform live in Mumbai.

바카라œWhen Michael Jackson came to perform in Mumbai, my wife was eight months pregnant (with Meezaan Jaffery), and she insisted on seeing the show live. She came with me in a heavily pregnant state and we stood there in the front row cheering for him,바카라 he added.

The celebrity dance reality show witnessed a mesmerising performance by Sreerama Chandra on the song 바카라˜Roshni Se바카라™ from the film 바카라˜Asoka바카라™, along with his choreographer Sonali Kar.

The duo gave the timeless melody a new twist in their own unique style, promising a performance that redefines the song's appeal.

Talking about the performance, Jaaved said: 바카라œSreeram, I remember when you performed on Bol Baby Bol Rock N Roll. Obviously, I feel a bit attached because you did so well on it. I'm just recalling the way I've seen you. Like Michael Jackson, millions of people want to be a complete performer and you also have a journey that you are trying to become a complete performer.바카라

바카라œYou sing so well, and as a dancer and performer, I think it's fantastic that you've taken MJ as a reference point. I really wish you all the best. You lit the stage on fire. As a performer, you have reached that complete performer status, you're on the way,바카라 he added.

바카라˜Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa바카라™ airs on Sony.
