Divyanka learns Dancing!

Divyanka Tripathi is making sure her break from work is spent in a worthwhile manner. She is focusing all her energy in learning the beautiful Indian dance form of Kathak.

Divyanka says, "I have always been fascinated by this art form called dance. It's always been my dream to learn dancing formally especially Kathak. Now I'm glad, finally life has given me the time and means to learn it."

Divyanka was adamant on learning it from someone who would give her personal attention. She says, "I wanted to have the old guru-shishya relationship with my dance teacher. So I didn't join the so-called dance academies where a lot of people are taught by a single person. Luckily, I've found for myself guru Vinodkumariji who stays close to my bulding and gives me her full attention."

But why take so much time out for dance and not for singing since she has such a good voice? To this Divyanka says, "I know I have a good voice. But I just felt that dancing would help me to become an all round actor. For this reason I've even joined yoga classes. It increases a person's flexibility both physically as well as mentally to a huge extent."

So when can we see our darling Divyanka balk on small-screen? "I'm in talks over a lot of projects. I want to do something really different. Let's see when that materializes," she signs off.

Hope Divyanka gets a role appealing to her soon...
