Many were dismayed when the ‘dhak-dhak’ girl of Bollywood bade au revoir to the silver screen but for renowned Kathak exponent Sandeep Mahavir Madhuri Dixit’s departure was the end of an era.
According to Mahavir,the actress’ exit also marked the departure of classical dances from the repertoire of styles used in Bollywood,which now favours Bachata over Bharatnatyam.
“I can say for a fact that after Madhuri Dixit there have been very few actresses in tinsel town who can carry off classical styles,” Mahavir said.
“Most,if not all,yesteryear Bollywood actresses were trained dancers. Their rooting in classical dance helped them emote on celluloid as dancers have a good control over facial expressions for every situation,” said Mahavir who was in the capital to stage ‘Nupur’,a unique Kathak recital directed and choreographed by him.
