"I had never won in dance" - Prabhudeva

Following is an interview by journalist Janani in the sets of Ungalil yaar adutha Prabhudeva & snippet is here..

"I had never won in a dance competition" admits prabhudeva who is still revered as southindian michael jackson .i met him on the sets of "ungalil yaru adutha prabhudeva?",a dance reality show.vijay tv has been in a serious hunt for next prabhudeva.i couldn't believe when a dance genius says that he had not won even a single prize for dance.at this point i remember playback singer chitra once told me that she was given second prize in a competion.

i was given just 10 minutes to talk to prabhudeva as he was busy with the shooting..but in those few minutes i got a good message about reality shows from him.the message is clear that the competitions are just for active participation.winning and losing will not decide the successfull future of either the winner nor the loser..after reading this blog dont crumble next time when you lose a competition.here iam writing some of the interesting answers from prabhudeva.

Dont you think its too early to search for next prabhudeva as you are still rocking?

generally in school there would be a helpless boy targeted by teachers and repeatedly abused by them.i was actualy such kind of helpless boy in my school days.was not interested in studies and hence remained the poorest student in class.negative comments fro teachers caused a lot of damage to my self worth.but now a tv show on my name is a real pride to me.i take it in a positive way that boosts my self esteem.

Usualy in reality shows criticising a person after a performance seem to be unethical..what do you say?there can be no reality shows without criticism.they are actualy famous for the critical comments.but i cannot..i realy cannot comment on anybody's dance after a tiring performance.thats why iam here as a specialguest today encouraging the dancers,defnetly will not take up the role as a reality show judge.

Have you ever participated in these kinds of dance competition?

yes..i have participated in many dance competitions but i had never won.but i grew up with a passion for dance.never missed my dance classes but would happily miss my tutition classes.i discontinued my studies after plus one.took up dance as my fulltime work.afterthat no looking back till now..

By any chance can we avoid kutthu dances in tamil cinema?

we have been to theatres..have we ever seen a person dancing and enjoying himself for a western song? kutthu dance entertain the audience and it is for the mass.we cannot deny the fact that we are making movie for the mass.so we cannot avoid kutthudance in a commercial film.

Vijay,ajith,simpu,danush..who is the best dancer according to you?

Rajini...
