Small screen actress Aakanksha Singh, popular as Megha of "Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha", recently took her on-screen role of a dance teacher seriously and started giving dance lessons to her co-actors for a special sequence in the show.

Aakanksha took charge of the dance sequence on the occasion of her on-screen daughter Navika (Jayshree Venketaramanan) and Beera's (Siddharth Arora) sangeet ceremony on the show.

"I love dancing and I was very excited with the thought of performing on the show. Though I am not a trained dancer, I had participated in many dance competitions during my school and college days," Aakanksha said in a statement.

"Dance is very close to my heart and I look up to Madhuri Dixit and her perseverance for dancing. She is so graceful and her expressions are amazing," she added.

Her co-stars started calling Aakanksha "dance mam" on the set.

"Aakanksha is a fabulous dancer and she helped me improvise my steps. Her grace and elegance is something I really admire and tried to imitate that in my performance," said Jayshree.

The daily show airs on Colors.
