You knew she could do this (rocking sitar at Stern Grove, San Francisco – and it doesn’t say at YouTube, but I think I see Karsh Kale there too):
But did you know she could do this?
(Dancing the bharatanatyam, in a delightful little movie called Dance Like A Man. Anoushka plays a character whose mother (played by Shobana) is a great bharatanatyam dancer who obsessively teaches her to be a great bharatanatyam dancer. (Her father, played Arif Zakaria, is a bharatanatyam dancer too – or was one, long story.) Do you think there’s something in this plotline that Anoushka Shankar might relate to just a bit?)
I didn’t know Anoushka could dance too. Pretty good, but of course I like watching Shobana more:
Yes, me too. And her dancing in that clip is great. Though that, of course, is not a surprise…
