*Shahrukh dances Bihu on KBC* http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/009200702121856.htm
New Delhi, Feb. 12 (PTI): Superstar Shahrukh Khan may have swung to typical Bollywood songs umpteen times but he is equally at home with Assam's most popular folk dance--Bihu--to mark the new harvest. Khan's skills at Bihu came to fore when a contestant from Assam at the television game show Kaun Banega Crorepati asked him to shake a leg. Shah obliged and enthusiastically did some Bihu steps "for the first time". "I just asked him if he would like to do a few steps of our traditional dance and he readily agreed," said Mridul Gogoi, a businessman who hails from Assam's Dibrugarh district. "It was a great feeling. He said he danced Bihu for the first time and I was impressed by its steps," Gogoi, who won Rs 3.20 lakhs in the contest today, told PTI over phone. Gogoi said the organisers told him the the actor danced for the first time on the sets of the show. "I was really impressed by Shah Rukh's attitude. He was very curious to know about my place. When I said I was from India's easternmost state, bordering Arunachal Pradesh, he wanted to know more about the place. "He told me that he had been to Arunachal but not Assam." Gogoi said the actor kept asking the show's main researcher Siddharth Basu about details on Assam.
