Dharavi To Bollywood: Journey Of Jameel Shah, India's Dance Shoemaker

In the heart of Mumbai's sprawling slum, Dharavi, in its narrow but resilient alleys, one man is stitching dreams into leather. The story of Jameel Shah is nothing short of extraordinary. A humble shoemaker with the soul of a dancer, Jameel has quietly defined the world of dance footwear in India. Crafting shoes in a 10x10 workshop in Dharavi, he has become the trusted 'shoe artisan' for Bollywood's biggest stars. His journey is a testament to grit, grace, and the untapped potential of Dharavi. A Dreamer from Darbhanga, Bihar Jameel's story begins in Doghra, a small village in Darbhanga, Bihar. The son of a farmer, he was a bright student with a hunger for education. But poverty had other plans. At just 13, Jameel left home and moved to Delhi, working in a factory that made belts and wallets. It was a hard life, but one day, a glimpse of celebrity hoardings sparked a dream - to somehow be a part of Bollywood. That dream led him to Mumbai, where he found work in Dharavi's leather workshops. Living here, amidst the scent of tanned hides and the clatter of tools, Jameel's destiny began to take shape. The 'Dancer' Meets a Mentor While working in Dharavi, Jameel stumbled upon a newspaper ad for dance classes. He approached renowned choreographer Sandip Soparrkar with a simple plea: "I don't have money, but I truly want to learn to dance." Moved by his sincerity, Sandip welcomed him into his academy as a guest student, charging no fees. Jameel trained diligently, but soon faced another hurdle - the cost of proper dance shoes. Imported shoes cost upwards of Rs 8,000, far beyond his reach. That's when Sandip handed him a pair worth Rs 15,000 and said, "Try to replicate this." Jameel dissected the shoe like a scientist, studying every stitch and layer, finally creating his first pair of dance shoes. 'Jameel Shoes' - Made in Dharavi What began as an experiment soon became a movement. Jameel's shoes were not just affordable - they were of exceptional quality as well. He understood a dancer's body, the pressure points, the need for flexibility and durability. His shoes became an extension of the dancer's artistic and physical needs. Terence Lewis, one of India's most celebrated choreographers, swears by Jameel's craftsmanship. "He's not just a shoemaker," Terence says. "He's connected to the arts. He understands what dancers feel." From character heels to flamenco, tap, and jazz shoes - Jameel was the first to offer such variety in India. Dharavi, often seen through the lens of poverty, is also a cradle of creativity. Despite his growing fame, Jameel never left Dharavi. His tiny workshop, tucked into one of Asia's largest slums, is where the magic happens. "I want to stay here until my last breath," he says. "My only wish is to be allotted a space in Dharavi itself after it is redeveloped. I wouldn't want to work anywhere else." This sentiment is powerful. Dharavi, often seen through the lens of poverty, is also a cradle of creativity. Jameel's success is proof that talent thrives here - it just needs nurturing. Bollywood's Best Trust Jameel Today, Jameel's clientele is a who's who of Bollywood. He told NDTV that Priyanka Chopra once hugged him and said, "Jameel, how do you manage to make such comfortable shoes? I've been searching for this kind of comfort for years." He's crafted shoes for Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, Ameesha Patel, Manisha Koirala, Farah Khan, and many more. His phone holds the numbers of stars like Madhuri Dixit and Priyanka Chopra - not as a fan, but as a trusted craftsman. "Celebrities trust me to take care of their feet," he says with quiet pride. "And I take pride in knowing they love dancing in the shoes I create." The Dharavi Dream Jameel's story is not just about his personal achievement. It's a call to action. Dharavi, with its vibrant leather industry and skilled artisans, holds immense potential. If given better infrastructure, education, and opportunities, it could become a bigger hub for innovation and entrepreneurship. Imagine a Dharavi where more youngsters like Jameel can chase their dreams - not just survive, but thrive. Where talent isn't lost to circumstance, but lifted by community and vision. Jameel Shah's shoes carry not just dancers, but dreams. As Bollywood's finest continue to dance in his creations, Jameel remains grounded, grateful, and deeply connected to Dharavi, the place that made him. "Money comes and goes," he says. "But reputation, trust, and love - that's what lasts." (Divya Talwar is a video creator and writer with over 20 years of experience in creative storytelling.

Housefull 5 Director Tarun On Laal Pari Plagiarism Claim: ‘No Intention To Steal'

Last Updated: Director Tarun Mansukhani says had he known Sandip Brahamin is the creator of the hat step in Housefull 5's Laal Pari, he would've brought him in to choreograph the song. Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan and Riteish Deshmukh starrer Housefull 5 maybe causing ripples at the box office but it's courting a controversy on grounds of plagiarism. A digital content creator and dancer named Sandip Brahamin has accused the makers of copying his 'signature hat move' in the song video of Laal Pari. In a reel, Sandip stated, 'I went to Instagram and YouTube and there is a movie called Housefull 5. It has a song called Laal Pari. They have copied my moves but they haven't mentioned my name, they haven't credited me (sic)." Reacting to his statements, Housefull 5 director Tarun Mansukhani exclusively tells News18 Showsha, 'I did read up something about that. To be honest, I hadn't seen his videos before. I had only gotten to know it after we had launched the song. I came to know that the step that we've in the song is the hook step that he's known for. I'm sure somebody must have seen it at some point somewhere and felt that it's a great step to do and we did it." For the unversed, Remo D'Souza has choreographed Laal Pari. Tarun says that had he known about Sandip, he would've brought him in to choreograph Akshay, Abhishek, Riteish, Nargis Fakhri, Jacqueline Fernandez and Sonam Bajwa. 'There was no intention to harm anyone or steal anything. Life isn't that conniving. If I had known this guy before, I would've brought him in to choreograph the song for my actors. Who would be a better choreographer of Laal Pari than the creator himself? It's as simple as that," he remarks. 'There was no intention to engage in any kind of plagiarism. It's just one of those things that ended up happening. We've very sorry if he feels like that. I want to reiterate that there was no intention of causing any harm of any form," he further adds. While Sandip had posted his reel on May 3, his video went viral on social media after Housefull 5 released in theatres on June 5. Meanwhile, Housefull 5 has entered the Rs 100 crore club, and its golden run continues. Talking about it, an excited Tarun tells us, 'It feels fantastic because I came back to the theatres after 17 years. My last theatrical film was in 2008 [Dostana]. Right now, we're at a Rs 178 crore gross worldwide." He admits that this feat feels even more 'special' especially since it comes at a time when the box office is going through a dry spell. 'I've sat and worked on this film for the last two years and now it has been accepted. More than being happy, we're grateful. We're thankful to someone who's watching from above. There's a certain amount of relief that it's done, it's out there and it's being appreciated. We're thrilled with the positive comments that people who've enjoyed the film have written for us, for the messages, for the calls and for the numbers the film is making," Tarun shares.
