When Bollywood danced to the tunes of Salsa
Zoya Akhtar's upcoming multi-starrer Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara has been shot extensively in Barcelona, Spain.
Now to shoot a movie in Spain and not include a Salsa dance sequence in it would have been just like, say, visiting a country and not sampling its local culinary delights.
So we see glimpses of a Salsa sequence in the movie's trailer where Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar are seen dancing with Senoritas.
Salsa has jazzed up many a Bollywood movie in the past too with its seductive moves and vitality.
Let's, then, have a look at some other Salsa moments in Bollywood.
Behke Behke, Aisha
In this sultry Salsa party from Aisha, a jealous Aisha (Sonam Kapoor) takes to the dance floor with childhood friend Dhruv (Arunoday Singh) to spite her true love Arjun (Abhay Deol).
Sonam Kapoor sizzles in a fiery red dress while Arjun's New Yorker friend Aarti (Lisa Haydon) takes the hotness up by several notches with her moves.
