MANILA, Philippines — Kapuso actress Marian Rivera revealed the story behind the viral dance video with Bollywood actress Urvashi Ratuela during her judging stint in the recently concluded 70th Miss Universe pageant in Israel. 

In a press conference on Tueday, Marian said it was Urvashi who asked her to teach her dance moves. 

"Ang nakakatawa kasi ro’n, sabi niya sa akin, 'Can you teach me your dance steps?' Sabi ko, 'What are you talking about?’ 'Your Sabay-Sabay!' So tawa ako nang tawa. Kaya noong nasa stage kami, sabi niya, 'Let’s dance.' Sabi ko, 'Okay let’s dance ng Sabay-Sabay Tayo,'” Marian said. 

"Kaya nag-dance kami kasi siya mismo, sinabi niya sa akin ‘yon na sumayaw raw kami. So parang nagulat ako na alam niya," she added. 

The Kapuso primetime star also said that even though the pageant already ended, they still have communication. 

"At the same time, sobrang grateful ko na makasama ang ibang kasama kong judges. Napaka-down-to-earth, napaka-humble to the point na naging kaibigan ko sila,” she said. 

"So kahit na tapos na ang Miss U, may communication pa rin kami. Nag-uusap-usap pa rin kami," she added.

Marian said that she’s grateful for the experience as she really enjoyed the opportunity. 

"Basta yung moment na nandoon ako, masaya ‘ko. Sobrang grateful ako. Yun ang nasa isip ko na ie-enjoy ko kasi baka wala ng second chance, ‘di ba? So lahat ng pagkakataon na nandoon ako, sobrang ine-enjoy ko ang mga sandaling ‘yon," she said.
