Hi everyone.

First of all let me say, I am not Indian and have very little knowledge of Indian culture or arts. But here is something that has been bothering me for some time.

A few years back, browsing through channels, I happened across a special on Indian dance. They showed a music video of a current popular Indian singer who was very good at "eye dancing". (That's the term I'm using. I don't remember what or if they called it anything.) She was indeed a very good singer, but her eye movements which they focused on were amazing. Her eyes darted back and forth and all around to the rhythm of the music. The narrator said she was considered the best at this "eye dancing". He said she was similar to the other great "eye dancer" "so-and-so". Unfortunately, I can't remember any names and was hoping someone out there who is familiar with Indian celebrities could help out.

I placed this same question before on other forums, but haven't had any luck.

I have no idea what eye dancing is lol . Are you talking about a dancer giving great expressions with her eyes maybe? Do you remember how she looked like?

Thanks for replying.

It's hard to explain if you don't actually see it. What the singer/dancer actually did was move her eyes up, down, all around, very very fast. It was to the beat of the music--and this was a quick "pop" song she was singing.

I searched on youtube and found something very similar:

It's called "Kathakali eyes". The wild eye movements on this gentleman looks a bit weird. However on the beautiful young lady singing and dancing on the music video it looked amazing.

Ooh... It might have been Madhuri Dixit. This video wasn't it however as there was much more "eye dancing". The documentary/special that spoke of this singer also presented an earlier black & white clip of another lady who was famous for the same type of dance with the eye movements.

If it could be an actress, then maybe it was Sridevi? I know, she isn't a "current" actress but still, maybe you stumbled upon a program about her?

Could the other person in black and white be Vyjayanthimala? I can't access YouTube right now so I can't post videos for comparison. I'll try later.

I'm posting a couple of pics instead:
