Kiran Bhargava Makes a Comeback to Theatre with Aarohi!

Kiran Bhargava who is seen in the TV show Kumkum Bhagya will now act on stage with coveted actor Ravi Jhankal and Gautam Rode as Aarohi. The play is based on the life of a Kathak dancer and Kiran was a perfect fit as she is a Kathak dancer trained under Kathak maestro - Padma Vibhushan Pandit Birju Maharaj since 1976. 

"I havent danced on stage since 1991 as a soloist other than a few "just haazri" performances. Anita Ordia, the producer, is my guru- behen and joining the team has been blissful. It felt like I am getting back to my roots. It was my dream to do a play that combines acting and dancing. And Aarohi came along. I get the chance to polish my roots and act altogether. Both are my passion. I always wanted to perform kathak in the shudh roop. That is what my guru taught me and I am doing exactly that. I am really looking forward to getting back to the stage both as a dancer and an actor. My guru always wanted me to get back on stage but due to a huge gap I had lost my confidence. I feel proud about the fact that me coming back on stage will make him very happy ", says Kiran Bhargava. 

Aarohi will be staged on Saturday 7th September, 7 PM at Balgandharva Rangmandir, Bandra and on Sunday 8th September, 7 PM at Royal Opera House, Mumbai.
