  • I think this interviewer is a Karachi based dancer and a disciple of Panditji.She was profiled in a New York Times article about her struggles to stage dance shows in Karachi.Brave girl.

  • The interviewer was Nahid Siddiqui, a UK based kathak dancer originally from Pakistan.

    She went to Pandit-ji later on in her training for more depth in her art. You can actually see it on her later videos.

  • This IS the final part. Sorry!!

  • There is something supernaturally hypnotic and mesmerizing about Saswati's eyes and gaze.

  • @shiva4ever Perhaps this style of her's of being soft was conditioned and partly innate. As a leaf flutters in the wind with its own grace and beauty- she also offers her own radiance- in her own way, to the audience. With all her hard years of effort and commitment to the art, I believe one must appreciate that at least.

  • @anglinthemtns I suppose hard work gone waste is a pity. Heaven forbid that I should undermine one's dedication but effort is no substitute for talent. I feel sorry for her but I cannot also say that she has added to the repertoire of Kathak in any significant way other than to mimic very very ably. Sorry, but that's how I feel.

  • maharaji is fab as usual but the other dancer quite AMAZING,too *thumbs up*

  • best dance for me....awesome

  • I agree, and even in person which we know now! :)

  • I did. That was the highlight of her career.

  • then you should see the performance in Satyajit Ray's Chess Players
