I danced with her (Lata Surendra) from second grade to seventh grade and ever since then, dancing became my way of life. I knew what I was experiencing with her, from her would remain a part of me always. I am very emotional right now. There’s no bigger joy than to see your guru perform and if she does for you, then it becomes a different honour.

Aishwarya’s childhood dance guru was touched by her presence and praised her for the woman she has grown up to become.

I have seen the growth Aishwarya has undergone in her life. She is the perfect daughter to her parents. She is a beautiful partner to her husband. And when I saw her taking Aaradhya to Cannes, it made me proud of her. Generally, the kids keep waiting for the attention when their parents are at the peak of their career, but that’s not the case with Ash. It’s been an honour to teach Aishwarya and now, I wish to teach Aaradhya!
