Meet Rishi Kapoor's new dancing partner...Ruslaan Mumtaz's Pehla Pyar Hazel Crowney

Rishi Kapoor, who is known to dance the pants off his jiving partners, more than met his match in Subhash Ghai’s Kaanchi. British model and Bollywood item girl Hazel Crowney gave Rishi Kapoor a run for his dancing shoes when she was summoned to groove with India’s Elvis Presley. Apparently Rishi whose dancing abilities are legendary couldn’t stop raving about Hazel. A close examination revealed Hazel to be the same British model who made her promising debut in Bollywood with Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar in 2007. Thereafter nothing much happened to her career. She rapidly slid into anonymity...Only to re-emerge in a re-invented avatar as an item girl. Says Hazel, “I have acted in a few movies but dancing is my first love. It’s the reason I came to India and my attraction to Bollywood. I don't see doing good songs is anything less than acting.” About her item song with Rishi in Kaanchi Hazel says, “Rishi Kapoor was lovely, a real gentleman and fun to work with... I didn't really know he was known for his dancing though I have seen his old movies such as Bobby, etc. He was very complimentary of my dancing skills.” Hazel is a big fan of Deepika Padukone’s dancing. “Out of the current people I think Deepika is becoming a great dancer and has natural grace, and among the guys it’s Ranbir Kapoor.”
