Tantalising TENets: Dancing to Odissi tunes

Danseuse Sharmila Mukherjee answers our quick-fire round.

1. If you were invisible, you would?
(Laughs) Scaring people who do not like me would be fun, like Harry Potter did with his invisible cloak.

2. Describe a dancer’s life in one sentence?
Adventurous. Because dancers face a lot of challenges and ups and downs.

3. A fashion trend you can’t stand?
Blues and purples on nails and hair. That is something I personally wouldn’t do.

4. One thing that people do not know about you?
I am extremely stubborn.

5. What would you scream out if you were on a roof top and the world was hearing you?
I would tell the world to live life to the fullest, not to judge and to be yourself.

6. An onstage blooper that you will never forget?
It was during a corporate show when one of my students could not come and perform on stage because she entered from the wrong side, and lost her way. She couldn’t make it to the stage, and the whole routine and position had to be changed on spot.

7. What makes you feel sexy?
Myself and my personality.

8. A metal rock show or a calm car drive?
I would pick a calm car drive over a rock show any day!

9. If you had a chance to ask someone out on a date, who would it be?
Brad Pitt. I feel he has a great sex appeal.

10. A quality you find attractive in men?
I think it’s very important for a man to be sensitive and have a good sense of humour. I would love to be in the company of a man who has a good sense of humour and someone who could strike up a good conversation.
