Tanushree Dutta has become an early riser these days. Apparently, the actress has enrolled herself for a kathak classes. According to sources, Tanushree has been waking up early in the morning for regular practice and has been attending her classes quite religiously since the last five months.
Says a source, "The actress has lost a lot of weight because of her dance training. She has always been extremely passionate about dancing. Even as a kid, Tanushree used to learn kathak, but later, her parents wanted her to concentrate on her studies, so she had to give up dancing."
The actress is learning kathak under the tutelage of her guru Vyjainthimala. Tanushree confirms the news. She says, "I love dancing, and I think kathak is one of the most impressive dance forms because of its elegant moves. As a matter of fact, we can also perform kathak on Bollywood numbers," she says.
Tanushree has been training herself in Benaras gharana, which happens to be one of the oldest school of kathak in India. "I am also watching DVDs of eminent kathak exponents to get a better perspective on dance steps," she says.
But will she be able to use any of these steps in her films? "Now that would be a scary situation for my choreographers. I think filmi dance is little different, but you never know. Some day, I might do a classical number and follow Hemaji, Rekhaji and Madhuriji’s footsteps. I am not ruling out this option,"
Tanushree feels that dance is the best way to keep your body in shape. She adds, "Dance is a systematic process of keeping your body fit. I do work out in a gym, but at the same time, my dance helps me rejuvenate."
