Many from the dance fraternity felt let down!

“The pathetic state of Bharatanatyam at the UN” was all the absolutely shocked Anita Ratnam could say after watching Aishwarya R Dhanush’s performance. The daughter of superstar Rajinikanth was invited to perform one of India’s most proud dances – Bharatnatyam at the prestigious United Nations headquarters. Anita Ratnam, the world renowned global Bharatnatyam dancer, watching the performance said:

“Horrific moment for Bharatanatyam.Part time hobbyist dancer and star daughter Aishwarya Rajnikant steps onto the UN stage. What a letdown after Sudharani Raghupathy’s stunning performance in 1981 for Human Rights Day in the presence of Sec Gen Thant and Under Sec Gen CV Narasimhan.
