Controversies

Soparrkar's personal life came into international spotlight when the German Daily publication reported that he had a son out of wedlock with his German girlfriend. The woman filed a claim that custody of the child should have gone to Soparrkar.

As Soparrkar was the brand ambassador for adoptions in India, as well as the first single man in India to adopt, it is believed that he inspired his student Madonna to adopt an Indian baby.[63][64][65]

After Soparrkar choreographed Britney Spears's hit single Womanizer in 2008 international media went into a frizzy talking about their affair which lasted just for few weeks [66] [67]

He drew criticism when he declined to perform at the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton at Buckingham Palace in 2009.[68][69][70]

The creative dancer choreographer mixed live Bihu music and song and danced the traditional Brazilian Samba to it. Little did he realise that this fusion dance which he created did not go down well with a few cultural organisations in Assam. There were people on the streets asking for an apology from the organisers and the choreographer for hurting and insulting Assamese culture with such a fusion. The local people ripped the Samba-Bihu Fusion apart calling it Bollywood dance and saying it was disrespectful to the North East Indian culture. The controversy and anger of people grew even more when Sandip Soparrkar refused to give an apology for what he had created. Sandip Soparrkar said "My dance was a blend of authentic Bihu Music and traditional Samba dance, i did not change the bihu music to fit samba dance nor did I change samba dance to fit into bihu music, they both were used in its pure form, they just blended in so well, it was not a bollywood dance at all like some people are saying." [71]

Soparrkar is known to have a very colourful life with many gorgeous ladies walking in and out of his life, actresses Shilpa Shetty,[72] Britney Spears, Sharbani Mukherji, Yana Gupta, DJ Julia Bliss, Nicole Alvares, Miss World Yukta Mookhey and many have been rumored to have been close to the handsome dancer personally and professionally.

He acted in a controversial film disturbing Indian sensibilities titled 'I Am Not A Pornstar Nazal Sambhal Ke - Mind Your Gaze', a sensational poster of the film was released by Hollywood icons Mel Nowak at the World Film Festival in Los Angeles, USA [73] [74]

Humanitarian Work

When Soparrkar became the first single man to adopt in India he was chosen as the 'Cause Ambassador' of Catalyst for Social Action (CSA) an organisation that helps orphans and orphanages in India. He actively promotes the cause of Adoptions all over the world. [75] [76]

The renowned dancer was also chosen as the face of US based NGO The Miracle Foundation, an organisation that seeks to empower orphan kids and raise them in a family-style orphanage with personal attention [77] [78]

In 2008 he in association with Mrs. Parmenshwar Godrej launched 'Dance for a Cause' at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland highlighting the Global cause by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) of 'Save the Tiger'. Since then Soparrkar has brought light to various other causes such as AIDS, Organ Donation, Cancer Care, Acid Attack, Drug Abuse, Domestic Violence, Care for the elderly and many more. He has been honoured with the National Excellence award in 2017 by the Government of India in regards to the same. [79] [80] and also the Government of Bhutan issued a postage stamp honouring his worldwide initiative [81] [82]

He is also on the advisory board with Confluence India, an organisation that unifies skills, talents and leadership globally [83]. Rising yarn prices, falling employment opportunities, declining wage rates, shrinking markets and idling looms, Indian weavers have nobody to take up cudgels on their behalf. Confluence is a registered body under Indian Trust Act 1882. Confluence offer a fascinating model which combines compassion and artistic acumen to scale solutions that are needed now more than ever. The mission and vision of Confluence is to organize these Handloom weavers into clusters and make them competitive by providing support for their long term sustainability.

He took his Philanthropist work ahead when in India he adopted 2000 young girls in association with NGO Lets All Help and M/s Wonderize and took the initiative to take care of the personal hygiene by distributing free sanitary pads and educating the girls in regards to menstruation hygiene and also propagating that 'No one sleeps hungry or be void of basic personal hygiene.' [84] [85]. While Talking to the Media Sandip Soparrkar Said, “Menstruation is considered a taboo to even speak about in India, so imagine the reaction to the idea of a man adopting women to propagate genital hygiene, it surly is shocking for many but, I believe we dancers are the doors to our society, we show what is needed and how it can be done. We all are aware that poor genital hygiene has been found to be an important factor for the development of dysplasia and cervical cancer, and the use of pads made from reused cloth increases that risk. I am thrilled that through NGO lets all help we will now be able to inculcate the importance of genital hygiene to these women and through them help many more.”
