Are you excited about performing in Dubai?

Dubai is one of my favourite destinatio­ns, and I visit the city often for holidays and shows. I am delighted that I am bringing Da-bangg here as it will be a really exciting show and fabulous experience.

Since the show will be held on such a big scale, how many days/weeks of hard work goes behind it?

We have done this show in many countries, so everyone is comfortabl­e and in sync. But every time we have to perform, we do prepare for two weeks in advance and try and add a new element in every country that we perform in.

When you travel abroad for shows like this, do you guys hang out after the show or go your own way?

Yeah, we all are friends, and when we are away from home, we are like a big family and like one does when with friends and family we do have our share of entertainm­ent and outings. We also try and catch local attraction­s.

The UAE will give you an opportunit­y to perform in front of your South Asian fans. Do you think that art brings people from different countries closer?

I believe that art has no boundaries so I’m sure people from all over the world have enjoyed our shows till now and I’m sure Dubai will be no different.

Da-bangg show is a successful franchise now. What’s the best memory that you can recall from the tour?

It’s become a hit franchise no doubt, of course, the most prominent attraction being Salman Khan; people come to see him. I have many memories with Salman on stage as well as audience interactio­ns that have made him roll on the floor with laughter, we are hoping to repeat it in Dubai too.

Do you follow any routine before going on stage?

I am mostly spontaneou­s because one can’t predict the audience, so I play according to what my fans and audience wants.
