Our January Cover Star spills the beans on her journey in the entertainment world, her love for dance and what the future holds for her.

I Have Been A Dance Fanatic All My Life

You are considered to be one of Marathi cinema’s leading actresses and an accomplished dancer. Your roles in the films Katyar Kaljat Ghusli and Natrang were appreciated. Tell us more about your entry into the glamorous world of entertainment?

I started my career with a reality show. As an actress, I consider no work is small or big which has been learning through my work. My undying love for dance encourages me to participate and explore more. And alike dancing, acting comes to me naturally which I have kept polishing throughout the years. Year 2004 was a kick start to my career in the entertainment industry with the reality show Zee Cinestar's ki khoj. As a person, I think any opportunity which gives me a chance to get closer to my well-wishers and fans is a big opportunity.

Your dancing capabilities are no secret. Share top 3 dance forms that you love?

Semi classical, cha-cha-cha and hip-hop are my favorite dance styles. Though I have not really learned the cha-cha-cha and hip-hop but semi-classical again comes to me naturally. Back to those days, when I used to watch a lot of Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears videos and try to absorb their dance styles.

You won the seventh season of the dance reality show Nach Baliye with your husband. What motivated you to take up this challenge? Also, tell us about experience on the show.
