forever iconic. meenakshi is UNMATCHED. [Damini, 1993]

I also want to talk a little bit about the amount of Madhuri slander in the Youtube comments section of this video. Keyboard warriors who have never learned the technicalities of classical dance + are generally ignorant & just want to tear 2 women down really have the most to say

both Madhuri AND Meenakshi have been trained in the art form since CHILDHOOD, and have been performing on stage since then as well. Madhuri has received state level honours in classical dance as has also been a child prodigy which she recounts here.

could Madhuri have performed this the way Meenakshi did? No. Would she have brought her signature grace as well as delivered this with the amount of sheer skill, energy and finesse that the art form of tandaav demands? Absolutely. I’m sick of y’all tearing 2 legends down in 2020.
