Jason Tham is no newcomer to the world of entertainment. This talented Indian guy is what one would call as âcomplete package'. Besides being an ace dancer, he is also a choreographer and an actor. Mid-Day Online caught up with him for an exclusive interview on the auspicious occasion of âDhanteras'. Here's what he had to say:
Do you know what is the exact Dhanteras date or better still, let me ask you in true Bollywood style: Do you know Dhanteras kab hai or do you Google Dhanteras kab ki hai? What we want to know is that am asking you whether you are aware of the Dhanteras date?
Of course I am. Dhanteras is the beginning of 5 day festival of Diwali (from 22nd October). I usually get to know the dates of Dhanteras/Diwali via people or announcement of public holidays.
Iss saal Dhanteras kab manae jayegi?
It will fall on Saturday, 22nd October.
