Mumbai, Jan 14 (NationPress) Television actress Shubhangi Atre, celebrated for her role as Angoori Bhabhi in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, recently returned to her hometown, Indore. During this heartfelt visit, she reestablished her connection with her Kathak roots and had the chance to see her guru after a long absence of 18 years.
Reflecting on her experience in Indore, Shubhangi shared, “Returning to Indore feels like a homecoming for me. It marks the beginning of my journey and holds immense significance in my life. Though I’ve frequently visited the city, this trip was exceptionally special as I fulfilled my dream of returning to my Kathak classes and meeting my guru after such a long time. While Madhuri Dixit ignited my passion for dance, it was my guru who truly cultivated it and imparted the art form to me. When I surprised her, the esteemed Dr. Suchitra Harmalkar, her eyes filled with tears. We embraced tightly and cried—it was a profoundly emotional moment. I was among her initial students when she first began offering private lessons, and reuniting with her was a dream realized.”
Discussing her reconnection with her Kathak heritage, Shubhangi Atre remarked, “Sitting in the very practice hall where I trained, executing a few movements, and hearing her encouraging words brought back a rush of memories. The walls still showcase a photograph of us from a performance together. Meeting her reminded me of the importance of dance in my life. It has instilled resilience in me and taught me to adapt to the rhythm of life. Every movement tells a story, and every story imparts a lesson. Revisiting these lessons rekindled a flame within me. My guru’s blessings and mentorship have significantly shaped both my craft and my character. This reunion served as a profound reminder to remain grounded and appreciative of the connections that shape us.”
Shubhangi Atre first encountered the classical dance form during her teenage years.
