“On my father’s suggestion, we slowly ventured into ballet, and Meera Natyavihar was Kala Kendra’s first production, choreographed by the renowned Bhushan Lakhandri.

Trial by fire, and our ballet focuses on the happy times of the couple,” Hema Malini once said.
Describing dance as a form of devotion for him, the veteran actor said, “Dancing, for me, is devotion, meditation and also tradition.
