Dharmesh Yelande has come a long way from managing a tea stall to dancing his way to fame via "Dance India Dance". He says he owes his success to his mother and also to his choreographer-director Remo D'souza.
Dharmesh is fondly called as 'sir' by his fans and Dharmesh says his mother also calls him 'sir' now.
"My mom is a jovial and positive woman; she has supported me all throughout. She has seen me grow from a tea stall vendor, to auditioning for a dance reality show, climbing the radar to appear in a movie and now a mentor on 'Dance +'. She feels proud and respects me, which is why just like others even she has started to address me as sir," Dharmesh said in a statement.
Asked about how he got the title, Dharmesh said: “A few years ago, my students had performed at one of the reality shows and the judges were impressed. So when they asked them who their choreographer was, they said `Dharmesh sir'.
“My performance was scheduled after theirs and when the judges asked me if my choreographer was also 'Dharmesh sir', I told them that I was Dharmesh. That's how I got the title.”
After a successful first season of "Dance +", Dharmesh is now gearing for its second season. "Dance + Season 2" will air on Star Plus channel.
