“Hrithik has become a friend, mentor and like an older brother.” – Karan of Just Dance

Just Dance seems to have taken the film, dance and reality television worlds by storm. Boasting talented participants scoured from all over the world and judges who are well-established within the Indian cinema, the show is a firm favourite with its audiences. The icing on the cake for the show is in seeing, for the first time, a judge in the gorgeous Hrithik Roshan. His dancing style is admired by all and what better way to make a transit to the small screen than to judge a dance reality TV show.
The choreographing duo, Farah Khan and Vaibhavi Merchant, spent weeks visiting different parts of the world to find who would go on to be (as Roshan has been known to say) “the best dancers in the world”. While on their search in the UK, they came across Karan Pangali. The twosome were immediately impressed by Karan’s stage presence and his versatility as a dancer. From that very first audition in the UK, Karan has danced his way into the viewers’ hearts.
Back home in London, Karan has his own dance school known as Karan’s Bollywood Masterclass and it’s become apparent that his talents do not end at dancing alone. He is, in essence, a performing artist who teaches his students the art of dance. He is also a keen musician, actor and model. If his many talents are anything to go by, it can be said that Karan’s future within the fraternity – be that in the dancing, acting or choreographing arena – will go beyond Just Dance.
