Tell us about your Ranga Pravesha/ Arangetram:

The most valuable moment of my life was when my Guru told me that i am going to do ranga pravesham, though at that time I was not quite sure what was rangapravesam. Mam taught me about it and did a lot of hard work. She took my classes from morning 5 till midnight to 1 o'clock. I did continuous, restless practice . My guru composed many songs during those times in between one of our musician became unwell we had a hard time finding a new one. In Rang PraveshI performed nearly 8 items. It was very hard and there was very less time to prepare. My guru inspired to manage everything along with dance with patience Dance in a short period of time has taught me so much and made me a adept at handling difficult situations. My rangapravesha was successfully completed on October 26 2019.

How do you feel receiving Rashtriya Bal Puraskar

I came to know about my selection to receive this award around three days before the day it was to be given. I had not received any official communication regarding the same we had received a call regarding it we were a bit apprehensive. It was after receiving the official letter of confirmation that everything started to become real for us and we, that is me and my family were over the moon We were shocked then we called the officials and got to understand everything. I was also very happy that any one the awardee may get a chance to speak to Prime Minister sir. among so many deserving awardees it was very less of a chance that i would be chosen for the interaction. by God's Grace and luck I did get the opportunity to speak to Prime minister sir. i was informed 15 minutes before the ceremony that Prime Minister sir would be interacting with me from the southern region as I have good command over Hindi. I was very happy at the same time I was very nervous too It was a golden opportunity for me.

I was chosen for this award in the field of Bharatanatyam and innovating it by using variety of props Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji asked me that how did I juggle between dance and education. I told him that i started dancing at the age of 3 onwards and family had been my biggest support. right from waking me up early in the morning and to taking to my classes. They motivated me to work hard. he also mentioned that I took so many risks in dance by using so many different and dangerous props in Dance
