Shahid Kapoor has something to say about rumoured ex Priyanka Chopra in Bajirao Mastani!

Bajirao Mastani is gathering accolades every waking minute. The sheer scale of the film is enough to bewilder your senses. Add to that some superlative performances by Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra and you know the outcome is going to be nothing less than grand. It is nothing but a Sanjay Leela Bhansali masterpiece and Shahid Kapoor agrees. Yes, you heard right! Shahid Kapoor has watched the film and has something important to say about rumoured ex- Priyanka Chopra.

Shahid took to Twitter to express his views about the film and did so in a series of tweets. He first wrote, “Finally saw bajirao mastani. Magnificent cinematic experience. @RanveerOfficial you sure made your parents proud. Take a bow.” Furthermore, he wrote, “@deepikapadukone ethereal and peaking as an artist in every way. @priyankachopra in top form. And above all sanjay leela bhansali.” He then completed the sentence saying, “Your vision sir is just something else . Inspirational . Go watch it if u haven’t already you all.” Now we totally agree with him. Bhansali has created something which is an art in itself and it has warmed so many hearts that it is giving a tough competition to Shah Rukh Khan‘s Dilwale.

Shahid Kapoor bags Half Girlfriend, after Sushant Singh Rajput’s exit?

There seems to be no respite in sight for Ekta Kapoor’s Half Girlfriend, directed by Mohit Suri.Sushant Singh Rajput has opted out of the project due to date issues. Following which, we then had reports on Arjun Kapoor replacing Sushant in the film. Now the latest we hear is that the makers have approached their original choice for protagonist Madhav Jha — Shahid Kapoor.

Says a source close to the development, “Shahid was to play the Bihari loverboy. Then Shahid’s Shaandaar bombed and the film’s producers went to Sushant. Unfortunately for them, he had already given away those dates to Dinesh Vijan for his directorial debut.” Adds the source, “Shahid is now back in the project. It seems the role was destined for him.”

For all that we know, Sushant had clarified why he can’t be a part of Half Girlfriend saying, “It’s unfortunate. I was excited about working with Ekta (Kapoor) again but the dates didn’t work out. The team wanted the same dates as that of Dinu’s (Dinesh Vijan) film, which I’m doing next. Since I had committed dates for it long ago, I didn’t have an option but to pull out of Mohit’s project.”

Nevertheless, now that Shahid is likely to join Half Girlfriend, who do you think will be his lover girl in the film? Talks are on that either it’s either Katrina Kaif or Kriti Sanon! Who’s your choice, guys? Tell us in the comments below and do come back to BollywoodLife for more updates!

Shahid Kapoor begins 'Rangoon' shooting with director Vishal Bhardwaj

Actor Shahid Kapoor, whose 'Shaandaar' turned out to be a box office debacle, has started shooting for 'Rangoon' with his 'Haider' director Vishal Bhardwaj.

The actor, who has been giving hints about his look in the upcoming project with different styles of beards, started shooting for the film on Thursday, said a source close to the actor. However, the filming location has not been revealed.

For the film, Shahid went all the way and opted for a beard, and recently shared his new look with a slick moustache on Twitter.

'Rangoon' is a love story based in the 1940s, against the backdrop of World War II. It also stars Saif Ali Khan and Kangana Ranaut.

Bhardwaj has earlier delivered hit films like 'Kaminey' and 'Haider' with Shahid, and perhaps 'Rangoon' will recreate the magic at the box office.

Meanwhile, Shahid's last box office outing with 'Shaandaar' turned out to be a damp squib.

Shahid Kapoor plants a kiss on wife Mira Rajput

Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput have become the most-talked-about couple of 2015. From their adorable selfies to the pictures from their holidays, every detail about them makes their fans jump with joy. And a new picture of this much-in-love couple is a proof of their chemistry and mushy romance.

A few weeks after their close friends Masaba Gupta and Madhu Mantena tied the knot, an unseen picture of Shahid and Mira from the wedding ceremony has surfaced on the social media. Joseph Radhik (wedding photographer) shared this picture of the lovebirds on his Instagram account a few days ago.

The adorable picture was accompanied by the post, "@shahidkapoor and #mirakapoor from the epic Masaba Madhu wedding reception in Mumbai. It took us about four trials to make this shot happen with all those lens flares perfectly placed, but when I did and went woohoo, Shahid upped it a notch by planting this tiny kiss on Mira's forehead."

Mira and Shahid tied the knot on July 7, 2015 and ever since the couple has caught the fancy of their fans as well as paparazzi. The evident age gap and non-filmy status of Mira initially set the tongues wagging, but the two over the time have become everyone's favourite.

On the work front, Shahid is currently busy shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj's Rangoon. The film, in which he will essay the role of a soldier, also stars Kangana Ranaut and Saif Ali Khan.

Udta Punjab: I never wanted to recommend Kareena, says Shahid Kapoor

After Shaandaar, Shahid Kapoor is gearing up for his upcoming film Udta Punjab. The film is based on the issue of drug abuse in Punjab. Earlier, it was said that Shahid was the one who recommended Kareena Kapoor Khan for Udta Punjab.

But in an interview to DNA, Shahid said, "Actually, I never wanted to recommend Kareena because I was scared thinking about how people will perceive that again. When I was narrated the film, I thought of Kareena even before Alia. The role that Kareena plays, I felt she was just perfect for the role."

Shahid also added, "But then somehow, maybe Kareena was not free and it got a bit delayed. Then somehow within that month, Kareena heard the script and said yes to the film. It kind of happened and I felt really happy when it did."

Talking about Alia, Shahid revealed that, "Initially, when Kareena didn't have time for the narration, I told Alia that woh role ki casting toh nahi ho rahi hai, tu yeh role karegi kya? She read that role and she said she really liked it."

Shahid and Alia were last seen in Vikal Bahl's Shaandaar. The film did not work that well on the box office. But Shahid feels that Udta Punjab is a 'special film'. "Udta Punjab on paper might seem dark and edgy, but once you see that film, I can assure you it's the kind of role any actor would die for. When I heard the script, I instantly agreed. There were three other characters and we were waiting for them to be cast. Nobody was saying yes to the film and we could not start. It took some time for the film to get cast," added Shahid.

It's said that the film might realease in Feburary or March next year. "The makers are eyeing an early 2016 release for Udta Punjab. It will release mostly around February-end or in March," revealed a source.

Apart from Shahid and Mira, director Vikas Bahl, choreographer Bosco Martis and Krishika Lulla also were present at Masaba's mehendi function. Madhu and Masaba are already married as per the legalities but have planned for a grand wedding, which is to be attended by their B-Town friends.Earlier, the rumours of Shahid's rift with Madhu Mantena were doing the rounds on the internet. A source close to the Haider actor had said that, "Shahid did the film for producer Madhu Mantena; Shahid and Madhu are close friends. Madhu was the only reason that Shahid overlooked the flimsy storyline in the first place. But now Shahid's feeling pretty angry about the whole debacle."

But Shahid had made a point not to get the professional issues in their personal lives. Earlier, Shahid also shared a picture of Mira with Madhu and Masaba on his Instagram account.

Shahid Kapoor to Mend Fences with Madhu Mantena by Dancing at His Sangeet?

Shahid Kapoor fell off with his Shaandaar producer Madhu Mantena when he indicated that he only did Shaandaar for Madhu's sake. Naturally, this did not go down well with the producer. 

Shahid Kapoor had big hopes from the Vikas Bahl movie Shaandaar which also starred Alia Bhatt. However, the movie tanked at the box office, much to Shahid's disappointment. A source close to Shahid then made a statement saying, "Shahid did the film for producer Madhu Mantena; Shahid and Madhu are close friends. Madhu was the only reason that Shahid overlooked the flimsy storyline in the first place. But now Shahid's feeling pretty angry about the whole debacle."

However, news now has it that Shahid is all set to mend fences with Madhu by dancing at his upcoming wedding festivities. 

Producer Madhu Mantena will be tying the knot with designer Masaba Gupta later this month. The couple are already married as per the legalities but have planned for a grand wedding, which is to be attended by the who's who of B-town.

What are Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput doing on their first Diwali?

Shahid Kapoor, who will be celebrating his first Diwali with wife Mira Rajput, is hosting an intimate get-together for his close friends and family tomorrow night at his Juhu apartment. Mira’s family from Delhi is expected to join the couple as will his mother Neelima Azim and his younger brother Ishaan, father Pankaj Kapur with wife Supriya and their two children. Shahid, who has just returned from Sri Lanka from a brief holiday with Mira on Sunday, has been calling his friends to invite them over. 

Shahid’s mother Neelima confirms, “This Diwali, like our usual ones, we will be lighting diyas, visiting each other’s homes and exchanging gifts. Diwali for us, is special family time. Shahid and Mira will come over during the day and will have a party on Diwali night which will be attended by close friends and family. Usually, we divide the parties between grown-ups and youngsters, but not this year. After some time, the grown-ups will take off and  the youngsters will be left alone.” It’s also the first year she gets to spend Diwali with her daughter-in-law. “Yes. I’ll give her a gift too. But it’s not just on Diwali. I always give something or the other to Mira.”

The proud saas is all praise for Mira. “She’s a nice down-to-earth and grounded girl who has given us a lot of love. Mira is very relaxed and natural and now a part of the family. Ishaan calls her Barbie Doll and she loves it.”

Shahid Kapoor scared of going the Ranbir Kapoor way?

Shahid Kapoor is so upset with the 'Shaandaar' debacle that he wants to play safe rather than be sorry about his film choices.

Shahid Kapoor

He does not want to go the Ranbir Kapoor way and end up with a string of flops. He will seek script supervisors to analyse the potential of a story before he greenlights a project.

Shahid’s next is 'Udta Punjab' and he will start shooting for 'Rangoon' soon.

Did Shahid Kapoor have a fallout with makers of Shaandaar?

Shahid Kapoor was the star of 2014, with his Haider going on to win all Awards this year. But this year, with just one release, stakes were already high for the actor. And Vikas Bahl’s Shaandaar, although looked promising from the promos has fallen flat at the box office. We now hear that with the film’s dwindling box office returns, Shahid too has expressed his displeasure and has had a fallout with the makers of the film.

Shahid, we hear was never happy with the film’s script and he didn’t like it either on paper. It was only due because of his friend Madhu Mantana that the actor decided to take up the project. But now, Sasha is regretting the decision of doing so. Why? The film failed to create magic at the box office and has been heavily panned by critics and the public.

Shahid, who was basking in his Haider glory is now furious because it was thanks to Haider that Shahid’s star value had upped quite a few levels. Now with Shaandaar nose-diving, Shahid’s career is back to square one and this has not gone down too well with the actor. We hear his disinterest was evident during the film’s promotions, after he had watched the first screening of his film.

Guess, it’s again up to Udta Punjab and Vishal Bhardwaj’s Rangoon to resurrect Shahid’s falling star power! And we’re sure Sasha will bounce back with these films, given that such roles have always worked wonders for him.

Shahid Kapoor is 'More Than Happy' to do Television Shows

Actor Shahid Kapoor, who made his television debut with the dance based reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Reloaded, said that he had a lot of fun and would be happy to do more shows on television.

"I had a lot of fun doing Jhalak and I must say that I'm happy that I started with a show like that. So, I'm more than happy to do more shows on television," Shahid told IANS.

"I was very unsure in the beginning. I didn't know how I feel about it (TV). In the beginning I was a little nervous. More than that, I was a little unsure because I don't like judging people. But after spending a few week of doing that in Jhalak, I actually had a personal equation with all the contestants. I used to talk to them as a friend," he added. 

Shahid, who is a trained dancer, said that he would also love to do a dance-based film.

"I get to dance in everything that I do. I've no complaints that way. I would be happy and would love to star in a dance film if something comes my way," said Shahid. 

Shahid, who featured in Vikas Bahl's Shaandaar will be seen next in Abhishek Chaubey'sUdta Punjab co-starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt.

Here's Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt's Shaandaar Box Office Magic So Far

After a brilliant box office performance on Dussehra, Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt'sShaandaar witnessed a sharp dip in collection figures on October 23, still raking in a total of Rs 20.65 crores. Much unlike Taran Adarsh, whose tweets usually include a comment or a forecast, the trade analyst simply shared the figures on Saturday. With day two collections amounting to a mere Rs 7.55 crores, it looks like Vikas Bahl, who directed the hugely successful Queen in 2014, has lost his Midas touch. Queen starring Kangana Ranaut, Rajkummar Rao and Lisa Haydon, opened to excellent reviews and continued to rule the theatres three weeks in a row.

However, with the destination wedding drama, the 34-year-old actor has achieved his highest opening day collections with a score of Rs 13 crores on Thursday, October 22. This was Shahid's first 2015 movie and also his first after he married Mira Rajput in July 2015. 

Alia too, who features in Shaandaar as a sprightly girl, marks her first and last 2015 project with the film. 

Shaalia, as Shahid and Alia are popularly known, will feature again in Vishal Bhardwaj's Udta Punjab in 2016. The thriller drama will also star Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Shahid Kapoor on Why he Decided to Marry Mira Rajput

Shahid Kapoor comes from a film family while his wife Mira is new to the world of glamour.  The actor says this difference works better for them. 

"I think the fact that we are different works for us. It is a nice thing that we are different from each other. But at the same time we are good at communication, we get along well," Shahid said in an interview here.

"She (Mira) makes me feel very normal. I go back to a very real atmosphere and I really like that a lot. She has no desire to get overtly 'filmy' as a person. She is very much an individual in her own right," he said.

Mira is yet to get used to the paparazzi that surrounds her actor husband all the time.

"She finds it difficult (to get used to the paparazzi) it will take sometime for her to get used to it. But she is understanding."

Shahid said he decided to settle down with Mira after spending time with her.

"We met, spend time and we really liked each other. I feel you should be with someone who you are comfortable with it doesn't matter how and where you met. Everybody meets a certain way but after you meet how you feel is important." The 34-year-old actor did not reveal what clicked between the couple.

"I don't want to share details because it is personal. I hope people respect that. Her side of the family is very normal and they don't understand what is written about and all that," he said.

The Vivah actor, however, believes that marriage has made him more responsible.

"It (marriage) makes you more responsible. I have been living on my own for the last nine years. I was independent at an early age. I have been earning since I was 16-year-old and I shifted to my own house when I was 23-24 years old. I have lived an independent life, though I had responsibilities," he added.

"When you get married it makes you feel more responsible. It makes you feel settled, grounded, there is certain clarity where you future lies. Every time you take a decision you think a little more as it is not just about you, you need to be responsible towards other person as well," he added.

Shahid Kapoor: Shaandaar is a Very Important Opportunity

Actor Shahid Kapoor said that his upcoming film Shaandaar is a very important opportunity for him and Alia Bhatt.

"It is the only film we are doing in this genre, that's the reason it is very close to our hearts, and we really want the film to be liked and loved by the people because as actors, we'll do different genres and different kind of films, and different kind of characters. So this is a very important opportunity for us, and I hope it turns out to be the best film that Alia and I have done in this genre, because after that every person has their own careers," said Shahid. 

"The genre of a quirky love story, romantic comedy in a fairytale-ish world. We perhaps might not get the opportunity to do such a genre for the next one or two years," added Shahid. 

Directed by Vikas Bahl, Shaandaar is scheduled to release on October 22.

Apart from Shaandaar, Shahid and Alia will also be seen together in Abhishek Chaubey'sUdta Punjab.

"Shaandaar is a relevant film in our career, which Alia and I often discuss about. The kind of films that I'm doing such as my last film Haider or Shaandaar, and now or our next film together, Udta Punjab. After that Alia is doing other films and I'm doing other films and I'm very sad that she's working without me, but it's okay," said Shahid.

Meanwhile, Shahid will be seen with Kangana Ranaut in Vishal Bhardwaj's Rangoon and Alia will be working with Sidharth Malhotra and Fawad Khan in Kapoor And Sons.

Shahid and Alia's new song 'Neend Na Mujhko Aaye' from 'Shaandaar'

Neend Na Mujhko Aaye -- a rendition of Asha Bhosle's age-old classic is picturised on Alia Bhatt and Shahid Kapoor who play insomniacs in Shaandaar. The song was launched at a coffee shop in Mumbai at midnight. The theme of the song is insomnia.
"We have given the 60s song the touch of 20s. It is one of the old songs that talks about insomnia so we thought why recreate a new song, take something that is nostalgic and beautiful and recreate it for Shahid and Alia," Vikas Bahl said.
When asked what does Shahid do when he is awake, he says, "I like going on a drive when I don't feel sleepy as that time traffic is less. I listen to songs or watch films. It is that time you do things that you want to do may be secretly."
The Haider star revealed that Shaandaar was shot in 52 days and out of which 35 days they were shooting in the night.
"It is not a dark film, it is a happy film," he quipped.

Shahid Kapoor finally opens up about Mira Rajput’s Bollywood debut – watch video!

Even before Mira Rajput became Mira Kapoor, it was established that Shahid Kapoor is one of those actors who prefers to keep his personal life under wraps. Not only was the media kept away from the wedding, even post marriage, Shahid has always avoided all questions pertaining to his wife or his married life. But, a while ago, rumour mills had been abuzz with the goss of Vikram Aditya Motwane wanting to do a project with Shahid Kapoor and cast his wife, Mira Rajput opposite him. Obviously, fans who have been raving about the couple’s cute chemistry were thrilled but looks like their dream might never come true ever.

At the recent GQ Awards night, when asked about any such project being underway, Shahid outright rubbished the news. However, he did not deny Vikram’s intention of wanting to bring the couple together onscreen. When asked about the rumours, Shahid tartly replied, “That’s between me and Vikram, but she (Mira) is not an actor, she’s my wife.” When the journo pushed a little more, Shahid smiled and walked off with a simple “No comments.”

Shahid, who looked as dashing as ever, stepped out in a classy textured suit in deep grey and won the GQ Actor Of The Year award for his remarkable performance in Haider, also mentioned that he loves everything about the film, even answering questions related to the film.

Shaandaar music review: Amit Trivedi’s score for this Shahid Kapoor – Alia Bhatt romcom totally lives up to the movie title!

Music – Amit Trivedi

Lyrics – Amitabh Bhattacharya & Anvita Dutt

Singers – Amit Trivedi, Vishal Dadlani, Anusha Mani, Nikhil Paul George, Neeti Mohan, Arijit Singh, Swanand Kirkire & Divya Kumar

Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt‘s Shaandaar is one of the most awaited releases this year. The trailers and the songs have really caught everyone’s fancy, especially the Gulaabo and theShaam Shaandaar songs. Director Vikas Bahl reunites with his fave composer Amit Trivedi after a zany soundtrack in Queen. Let’s see how the entire album benefits from their collaboration.

Shaam Shaandaar

Amit Trivedi himself takes up the singing duties for the first song of the album, and going by the video of the song that was launched last week, we know what a rocking number it is! It’s a song that will make even the listener to reach out for the dance floor, and you have Shahid Kapoor to show you the moves! A great start!

Gulaabo

It’s Vishal Dadlani and Anusha Mani here to croon what could be one of the best songs of the years. Like Shaam Shaandaar, even Gulaabo has some really addictive beats that will get you hooked on to the song the instant you hear it! Though Vishal Dadlani is the song-stealer (pardon the pun!) here, Anusha Mani complements her male co-singer quite well. Gulaabo is surely going to top the charts for a long time!

Nazdeekiyaan

It’s time for the romantic piece to enter the show, as is the norm with all Bollywood albums. It’s up to Nikhil Paul George and and Neeti Mohan to make sure we fall in love with the song and they do a pretty good job in doing so. Nikhil Paul George, with his lazy sounding voice that he used to impress us with Shaam in Aisha, continues to do so, while Neeti Mohan is excellent. It may take a couple of hearings for the song to work its magic on, but I assure it’s totally worth it!

Senti Wali Mental

With a title like that, you expect a madcap number like Happy B’Day from ABCD 2. But Senti Wali Mental is different. Sure, it’s fun number, where men and women make fun of each other, but in a more sangeet version style. The lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya are quirky and amusing (Brad Pitt ka hai tu potta…ya James Bond Hai?). Swanand Kirkire, Arijit Singh, Amit Trivedi and Neeti Mohan seem to have fun with lyrics too, as they get on to the business of mocking each other.

Raitaa Phailgaya

Since the film is all about destination wedding, there has to to be one song about weddings and of course, alcohol, and that’s what Raitaa Phailgaya is all about! It’s a totally crazy song, and Amit Trivedi has roped in the right man to justice do the song – Divya Kumar, who enlivens the proceedings with his unconventional singing. Amitabh Bhattacharya scores again with his apt and funny words (Gulzar ke geeton mein Honey Singh kaise ghus gaya… Brilliant!)! It would sure be fun to watch this song on the screen!

Verdict

Any album with Amit Trivedi’s name on it is bound to be a chart-buster, and the man has seldom disappointed us. The songs in this soundtrack only confirms this much established fact, as you have an album that simply serves to please your ears and make you say, Shaandaar!

Shaam Shaandaar, Gulaabo, Nazdeekiyaan, Senti Wali Mental

Alia Bhatt, Shahid Kapoor Explain: Who is Gulaabo? Why the Menswear?

A 'making of' video explains much that left us mildly puzzled by Gulaabo, the song fromShaandaar featuring lead actors Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt and Shahid's step-sister Sanah, making her debut.

For one, Sanah is Gulaabo. But that's not actually her name in the film, just the song. As Alia explains, 'Alia and JJ (Jaginder Joginder, played by Shahid) are trying to cheer up Eesha' - with a bachelorette party.

For another, despite the beer tankards clinking and the haycarts and the fedoras, the look director Vikas Bahl was going for wasn't German barnyard but New York underground ghetto.

For a third, everyone's dressed in menswear and moustaches - even the women - to make Eesha, as the lone damsel, the centre of attention.

Oh, and lest we forget, that's Gulaabo on the poster, not Jessica Rabbit.

Among other details spilled is this from choreographer duo Bosco-Caesar on Alia and Shahid's much-awaited part of the song: "They would only wait for that section of the song, where people would go mad doing their funny dance." Yes, we know exactly what he means. 
Composed by Amit Trivedi with vocals by Vishal Dadlani and Anusha Mani, Gulaabo has quirky lyrics by Anvita Dutt. Shaandaar, which also stars Sanjay Kapoor and Anjana Sukhani, is slated to hit screens on October 22.

When Shahid Kapoor did pushups, crunches on sets of 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8'

Shahid Kapoor is one star who is very strict about his fitness routine. The actor recently made it evident on the sets of "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8" (Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Reloaded).
According to a report, Shahid once had to reach the sets of "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8" a little early than the usual days and hence, the "Shaandaar" actor could not have his daily workout done. Proving his dedication towards fitness, Shahid carried his gym kits on the sets of the show itself and worked out inside his vanity van.

"Shahid was doing a lot of push-ups and crunches. He had brought his entire gym gear with him that day," Bollywoodlife quoted a source as saying.
The report also stated that Shahid is very particular about his diet and always carries a box of oats wherever he goes. "He never eats anything unhealthy. If anybody offers him chips, he refuses, opens his dabba and munches on oats," the source added.
Shahid happens to be one of the jury members in the TV show "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8". Other jury members include Malaika Arora Khan, Ganesh Hegde and Lauren Gottlieb. Director Karan Johar was recently replaced by Malaika Arora Khan.
On the other side, Shahid has been busy with the promotion of his upcoming movie "Shaandaar" starring Alia Bhatt. It is supposed to be India's first ever destination-wedding film and is one of the most awaited flicks of the year.
Directed by Vikas Bahl, "Shaandaar" is slated to hit the screens on 22 October.

Watch Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt spice up your evening

Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are leaving no stone unturned in entertaining their fans. The two have already raised expectations with the trailer of their upcoming film Shaandaar.
After that, the first song from the film, Gulaabo, received much applause from fans of Shahid and Alia. Now, the title track of the film has been launched, and it might have just ensured a place for itself in the biggest chart-busters of the year.

Sung by Amit Trivedi and penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, Shaam Shaandaar is a peppy track. While Shahid makes complete use of his dance skills all through the number, Alia doesn't have much room for doing the same. Out of the three minutes that the song video runs for, Alia has only about half a minute to display her prowess on the dance floor.
