What is your dance ballet Krishna Rasa about?

I always thought that Krishna’s life is a story of supreme magic and wonder. He has millions of devotees not only in India but also all over the world. He is the purnavatar or complete divinity because he’s loved as a child, as a romantic young lover, as a warrior whose skill and knowledge of warfare is unparallel. I am proud that I will play the roles of all the four women (Yashodha, Radha, Draupadi and Meera) who were closely associated with him through the four stages of his life.

You have been a successful actress, dancer and mother.

Oh! Being a mother makes me feel very proud. Motherhood is a very precious and beautiful thing that happens in the life of a woman. It makes me very proud that I am a mother.

Dancing has always been my passion and now I have little time, so I like to perform and also impart some knowledge to the girls and boys of today.
