Thanks to Kathak Queen Padmashree Sitara Devi and her father - TopicsExpress



          

Thanks to Kathak Queen Padmashree Sitara Devi and her father Sukhdev Maharaj for giving Kathak its rightful dignity and restoring it as the leading classical dance form of India. Even today, ill-informed people associate Kathak with Tawaayafs (commercial dancers of old time) whereas in its true form Kathak is an expressive story-telling routine combined with dance, usually in praise of God. It is easy to imagine what kind of mentality these two would have faced in 1930s when people are not aware even now. Sitara Devi ji was the only complete female artist of Hindi Cinema who was capable of acting, playback singing and dancing all live and all together. Madhubala, Rekha, Mala Sinha, etc. whom everyone appreciates are all Sitara Devis disciples. https://youtube/watch?v=Uiap52GXkzY
