Meet Akshat Singh, Ellen DeGeneres' youngest guest

Meet Akshat Singh, Ellen DeGeneres
Yup, India’s got talent. 8 year-old Akshat Singh proved it by appearing on talk-show queen Ellen DeGeneres’ show in the US. This week DeGeneres spotted Akshat on Colors’ India’s Got Talent and invited him to Los Angeles to be on her show. The dazed boy left for LA on 13 February and recorded his dance item in front of the highly appreciative American hostess in Valentine’s Day. Still in a state of disbelief Akhsat says, “I don’t know how all this happened. But someone called on my parents’ mobile and asked if I’d like to be on this lady’s show. Bas, aur kya? I left for America ready to dance.” A Class 3 student from Kolkata, Akshat in all innocence, confesses he had never heard of Ellen DeGeneres. “Maine kabhi unka naam nahin suna ttha. But I got to know she’s very big. I was thrilled to be invited on her show. I don’t think anybody from India has ever danced for her.” Akshat being a diehard Salman Khan danced his Sallu movements for Ellen. “She loved my dancing. She wanted to know all about Salman Khan and I was happy to tell her. There were lots of Indians in the studio and they were all Salman fans. So I had fun. I ate Mexican food and got to meet nice people.” The boy from Kolkata who says he began dancing 4 years ago, has come back from LA all praise for the no-nonsense Ellen DeGeneres. “She was very nice to me. I was a bit shy to begin with. She told me to call her ‘Ellen’. I was comfortable with her in no time at all. I loved dancing on her show. There were other overweight kids on the show. So I felt at home.” His first visit abroad Akshat couldn’t get to see anything of the US. “I flew in with my parents. We just shot my dance and came back. But I travelled all over America in my dreams,” says the boy with big dreams. “What do I want to do when I grow up? I want to study hard. I want to dance all my life. I want to be many things. But most of all I want to be intelligent.” You are a blessed child, Akshat. Way to go!!!
