Meet star who started her career at age of 15, worked with Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, left Bollywood due to..., still single at 57, her name is...
This renowned celebrity began her journey in the world of lights and camera when most teenagers were still figuring out their dreams. By 15, she was already choreographing moves that would later become iconic in Bollywood's dance history. Behind the spotlight, however, she observed an industry not always as glamorous as it seemed. Years later, this celebrated choreographer opened up about the darker alleys of showbiz, touching upon favoritism, exploitation, and the struggles faced by outsiders. The Only 'Maa' Of Dancing Community Here we are talking about Geeta Kapur, also referred to as Geeta Maa. Kapur began her journey in the industry when she joined the team of renowned Bollywood director-choreographer Farah Khan at the age of 15. She subsequently assisted Farah Khan on various films, such as 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,' 'Dil Toh Pagal Hai,' 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham,' 'Mohabbatein,' 'Kal Ho Na Ho,' 'Main Hoon Na,' and 'Om Shanti Om,' as well as the musical 'Bombay Dreams.' Additionally, she has choreographed award shows and concerts like Temptation Reloaded and was involved in the choreography for the opening ceremony of Pepsi IPL 2013. Recently, while talking to Hindi Rush, Geeta Kapoor expressed her disappointment related to Bollywood's unfair means for measuring artists. Geeta mentioned that nowadays casting in films is based on social media trend followers, which is not right. She said, 'Nowadays, recruitment is based on social media count. It took me 8 to 10 years to get 2.3 million followers. But nowadays, people get 23 million followers overnight. This is a different world. But if someone can hold on in 15 seconds and gain all the attention, then he is really right.' Geeta further said, 'There are many talented stars in the film industry who should get opportunities. But nowadays there is a trend which is definitely unfair but not wrong. I feel bad for those people who take their time to learn. You upload your dance video, people like it and followers increase. Then, these people say they will teach you dance. People also go. You will not see their expressions. But, you will only see the viral dance.' More About Geeta Kapur Kapur made her first appearance on television with the reality series 'Dance India Dance' (season 1) on Zee TV in 2008, alongside co-judges choreographers Terrence Lewis and Remo D'Souza. Mithun Chakrabarty served as the grand master. She coached a group known as 'Geeta Ki Gang.' In 2009, she participated in season 2 of 'Dance India Dance,' where she worked with choreographers Terrence Lewis and Remo D'Souza as judges and mentors. They guided 18 contestants in various dance styles, including ballet, acrobatics, mid-air dancing, contemporary, Bollywood, and hip-hop. As per reports, Geeta Kapur has a net worth of Rs 22 crore and she is still single.

National Brothers Day: Bollywood's Most Iconic On-Screen Brothers Who Touched Our Hearts
On National Brother's Day, we turn to the silver screen to celebrate the enduring, sometimes heart-wrenching, always powerful bond between brothers — one that's been at the core of some of Bollywood's most iconic stories. Whether it was rising from the ashes like Karan Arjun or sacrificing dreams for family like in Raksha Bandhan, these on-screen siblings have left an indelible mark on our hearts. Karan Arjun The legendary duo of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan set the benchmark for undying sibling love. Karan Arjun was more than a revenge drama — it was about loyalty that transcended lifetimes. Rakhee's unforgettable line, 'Mere Karan Arjun aayenge,' became a cultural milestone, sealing this as the ultimate brotherhood film. Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham In Karan Johar's emotional family saga, Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan play brothers separated by misunderstandings but bound by unshakable love. Hrithik's quest to reunite the family proved that no matter the years or distances, brotherhood holds firm. Raksha Bandhan Akshay Kumar delivered a heartfelt performance as the selfless big brother in Raksha Bandhan. This small-town story beautifully captured the everyday sacrifices and deep emotional investment siblings share, particularly in an Indian household. Agneepath Hrithik Roshan's role as Vijay Deenanath Chauhan was defined not only by vengeance but by his fierce protection of his younger sister. This gritty remake showcased how deeply rooted familial duty can drive a character's journey. Brothers This intense sports drama saw Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra as estranged siblings brought together by shared pain and a common ring. With MMA as the backdrop, Brothers explored themes of redemption, rage, and reconciliation. From classic to contemporary, Bollywood continues to remind us that a brother's love — even if unspoken — is one of the most powerful forces there is. This National Brother's Day, we celebrate not just blood ties, but the cinematic stories that make us believe in the strength of siblinghood.
