Priorities- then and now - Page 2

Pata nahi yeh kaun se sudhare hue jameen se jude bache hain jinhe classical dance mein itna interest aa raha hai.. When I was their age, I was not even remotely interested in anything classical. Now only I have warmed up to some classical ragas and singers. Mostly children whose families are trained classical artists or who have learned under some teacher seem to be the ones who have an affinity towards classical.

Classical dance and singing are tough, require discipline, and are sometimes slow.. It needs a certain intellect even in the audience to understand and appreciate it. Mixing Bharatnatyam with Kathak in Bollywood songs cannot be called classical dancing. I can understand that RG is a non-dancer and probably at this age might be trying her best. But that's why it's all the more important that you don't make Anupamaa the epitome of all the toughest things in the world, which requires immense practice, perseverance, and dedication plus years of practice. It puts too much pressure on the character and the character is not able to justify it. By doing simple things also she could have risen in life. She needn't do the toughest things in life. A small business making it big, a simple but successful teacher, a simple yet elegant dancer, or a dance teacher to little children, something in the food business could have also given her a respectable identity. An identity she lost while she made Shahs the center of her life and revolved around them. An identity that she has still not been able to find by being the best classical dancer or by managing a multi-billion Kapadia empire, because the character's experience, dedication, exposure, and effort have not been able to justify it..

Man, I never noticed she made a guest appearance in the movie between Amir and Rani in this scene.

non-dancer?- you've got to be kidding me

She is certainly not a classical dancer and that shows. Maybe other simple steps she could have done well.. Wase I don't follow actors much but I think in some old IV both RG and GK were saying something that they are not dancers but they enjoy doing it or something like that. Can't remember.. Weak memory u see..

Paise toh mil hi gaye honge use uske.. Of course no denying that he sold something as precious and established as the Kapadia empire. His credentials in business are becoming as questionable as Anupamaa day by day. No matter how educated or established you are, it takes time to build a business, clients etc. Yeh kabhi bhi bech ke kuch bhi koi nahi khada kar sakta.. He had education and experience, moreover, it's not about his journey so he is questioned less, but yes even for him it's difficult to just sell and build something as successful as the previous one again, and that too in a completely different domain, because u became a jilted ex.. In fact, even for him, it's next to impossible.

I guess she claims herself to be a trained dancer or atleast a good one, someone in the family is a professional dancer I guess. And she regards her dancing skills quite high 😂
And you can certainly see that in the Tandav or those jumping classical steps everytime.

Ohh.. Yeh toh bilkul Anupamaa ke jaise baat ho gayi... Rating urself high and failing... It's better to know one's potential, rank accordingly and then shine ... Instead of ranking oneself too high, raising expectations, and then falling short. From steps to expressions to body movements, this is a disappointment in classical dancing, not to mention the dress, which is equally important. Classical dance in ulte pallu ki saree and a long sweater ... So off-putting.... It just looks like a nondancer trying hard....
