Controversies

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.[74] [75] [76]

After Soparrkar choreographed Britney Spears[77] hit single Womanizer in 2008 international media went into a frizzy talking about their affair which lasted just for few weeks.[78] [79]

The world renowned choreographer is known to be having many affairs, from models to actresses, from corporate giants to even artists, the outspoken dancer has never shied away from talking about his personal life.[80] [81] [82]

He drew criticism when he declined to perform at the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton at Buckingham Palace in 2009.[83] [84] [85]

He was surrounded with people burning his posters during a show for designer Rohit Verma. 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."[86]

He also acted in a film titled 'I Am Not A Pornstar Nazar Sambhaal Ke - Mind Your Gaze'.

He showed his displeasure and urged the Information and Broadcasting ministry of his country to explain why choreographers were not included in the Indian delegates list at the country of honor celebration at the Cannes Film Festival 2022 [87] [88]

Sandip Sufi Dance at a Dargah in Mumbai became a matter of Hindu Muslim religious fight.[89]

He 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.[92] [93]

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.
