“The first role I ever played was that of a young girl who wanted to become an actor and win a Golden Globe. She believed that everything was interconnected. Little did I know, that young girl was me.
Life and art, they walk hand-in-hand.
Since childhood, I’ve always had a fascination for acting. I had a lot of time in hand as I was homeschooling in my 11th and 12th grade. So, I attended as many theatre workshops as I could! I would travel long distances for hours, to attend them and I think you could say that I was slightly obsessed. There was this one performance I remember till date. During the rehearsals, I was asked to cry and I simply couldn’t! Everyone at the rehearsal was crying, while all I could do was laugh. But the moment I managed to make myself cry, it felt beautiful.
I am someone who does a lot of things. But if I were to define my freedom to you as an art form, it would be Dance. Dance is a form of art which suddenly welcomed itself into my life this one fine birthday party. I was 6 years old and it was my friend’s birthday. I walked up to the DJ and asked him to play ‘Kaanta laga’. That was the first time I danced in front of a crowd! Everyone, especially my parents, was taken by surprise because I was a shy kid and coming from me, this was a little more than unusual. Ever since, I have been dancing. It makes my heart happy, you know.
After I joined the dance community, I became aware of the process and the foundation I needed to lay for myself. The first time I got down in a battle, I had no fear. It was only when I started to learn about people and their experiences that I started to compare and let my insecurities overwhelm me. But, I have grown with time. The dance community is my family. They have taught me, not only an art form, but also how to live, breathe and be free.
There were times I couldn’t move my body to dance. I had lost the motivation to move to music. I think that was the lowest I had hit but fortunately, my people helped me pull through.
Life and art are deeply connected. Even though it’s a popular opinion that you are not in control of your fate, I believe that thoughts, words and actions, when put into alignment, can completely manifest your chosen reality and art is a mechanism that will help you channel that.”
