A yen for conversation
Bengaluru-based Bharatnatyam dancer Janani Murali had a candid chat with us, where we subjected her to our rapid fire.
1) Your most embarrassing moment?
It was during one of my performances when I introduced the main singer by a wrong name. It actually left both of us red faced!
2) What is that one thing that really makes you happy?
When a child comes to me and compliments me for my performance. I believe kids are the best critics, so it’s always a great feeling when they say a nice thing or two!
3) Name one classic you wouldn't mind watching a million times?
Padaiyappa, it’s one family drama that always lifts my mood! And its got Rajinikanth!
4) What is your idea of a great date?
Seedless! Jokes apart, great conversations make great dates.
5) Define dance according to you
Dance is a lifelong passion
6) A song that’s on the loop now
Bombay Jayashri’s Bhavayami Gopalabalam
7) Do you have a role model?
Nope. Not really.
8 ) True love or a million bucks?
True love!
9) If you were to wake up as somebody else, who would it be and why?
I quite envy my neighbour’s dog – what toys, what food, what love!
10) If you had the superpower to change anything, what would you do?
Lay the roads in Bengaluru — by the looks of it, you really need a superpower to rectify them all!
