I have been classical dance training for over a year now. Yes its very tough in terms of time management and our schedule. We know one should start young. I am an adult I started now, but then again I’m not one to follow myths and rules. And it’s fine in fact great. I have always wanted to learn it as a skill. I know most people just have fun dancing, I’m not much of that person, I just like it passionately as a skill. As an actor I find it very disappointing, how most actors simply can’t dance, or aren’t good enough but mostly how they don’t try to improve. Least we can do is learn. Rehearse and get better. I have been a classical dance trainer for a year now. Yes, it is very tough in terms of time management as the schedule is so busy. People say that one should learn skills at a very young age but I don’t believe in such myths and I don’t follow these rules that’s why I learned this skill now, when I am an adult and it’s fine in fact it is great. I always wanted to learn dance as a skill. Mostly, people just dance for fun but I am very passionate about it and was keen to learn it as a skill.
As an actor I find it very disappointing, how most actors simply can’t dance, or aren’t good enough and most of them are not ready to improve it. It is very easy to learn just by rehearsing it gets better. Most of our film songs look like last moment Mehndi practices to be honest. I have been classical dance training for over a year now.

The film that I wrote required a lot of attention as I was both the writer and the character in the film and I gave my best. It was about a female protagonist who wanted to tell a story, want to explore the world. It’s been a beautiful journey that just started as an idea, to now a world class screenplay, backed by Locarno open doors under the coaching of Rachel Mathews. We now have a world class screenplay. So I’m very grateful and excited. Now I am an actor, a writer and a trained classical dancer.
Then there’s the dancing, which now I can use in my film as an actor. There is no limit as to when you can learn to do something. Just get up and do it, focus, enjoy the process, the adventure and the challenge. So I have had a very challenging but exciting and promising year. I’m not like anyone else and that is my authenticity, and I do things my way. I’m now a screenplay writer and a trained dancer, and I can’t wait for my film to go on the floor soon. So I have to keep practicing learning from my Ustaad, to be better than I was a month ago. Just keep practicing, whatever you do, specially dance. Classical is not easy. As for the film will share more details later.
