In an delightful twist, veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai let loose on stage, dancing vigorously with students at Whistling Woods International during their annual extravaganza. The surprise orchestration by the students left the audience cheering and Ghai grinning from ear to ear.
Through Instagram, Ghai shared snapshots of his energetic stint, showcasing slick moves and infectious enthusiasm. ‘The kids from my school dragged me onto the stage for a dance – what a surprise! I had an absolute ball,’ he shared, reliving the spontaneous fun.
Ghai synced perfectly with the students to two of his film’s legendary songs: the mesmerizing ‘Om Shanti Om’ from Karz and the high-energy number from Khalnayak. The choreography came courtesy of skilled alumnus Jay Mehta, ensuring a stage-ready polish.
This memorable segment closed out the InBox – Whistling Woods International student festival on campus. Preceding student performances had already set a high bar, making Ghai’s involvement a cherry on top.
Ghai’s illustrious portfolio includes timeless classics like Karz, Ram Lakhan, Khalnayak, Pardes, and Taal. Now, he’s equally devoted to film education, with Whistling Woods earning acclaim as a top destination for aspiring artists in film, media, and creative fields.
Pushing boundaries, Ghai’s Mukta Arts is stepping into animation. The institute’s Animedia festival, a three-day event with prominent guests, sought to revitalize the sector and elevate Indian tales to international audiences – a strategic leap forward.
Moments like these highlight Ghai’s multifaceted legacy, bridging generations through art and education.
