Exclusive- Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye's Kishori Shahane on celebrating International Dance Day: For me, dance is discipline and expression

International Dance Day, observed on 29th April, celebrates the stories that dance tells without a single word. More than just an art form, dance is emotion in motion—a powerful expression of culture, spirit, and connection. From classical performances to carefree twirls around a room, dance has the power to uplift, inspire, and heal. It builds relationships and forges bonds through shared rhythm. Marking this day, Kishori Shahane from Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye honours the beauty of this universal language and shares cherished memories of how dance has touched her life.

Kishori Shahane who essays the role of Babita in Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye said, "For me, dance is discipline and expression. It has been a part of my routine since I started working in the entertainment industry, and it is one of my favourite parts of the job. Dance has been a stress buster for me for the longest time, and even on the sets of Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye, in between takes, we get together and create dance routines. This definitely adds some unscripted fun moments to our shoot days. Another core memory associated with dance for me is working on some choreography with my son. We chose our favourite trending songs and worked on some dance routines, and this time together has definitely strengthened our bond. Dance has always been my passion, and social media has truly motivated me to keep pursuing my dance skills, including performing on stage. This International Dance Day, I hope everyone grooves a little to their favourite songs and has a fabulous time!”

Earlier, Kishori Shahane shared her love for fitness, "For me, fitness isn’t just about achieving a certain look or physical appearance—it’s about feeling good from within and nurturing my overall well-being. It’s my way of recharging and finding balance, after the long hours on set. I believe that exercising regularly not only strengthens the body but also helps bring clarity and calmness to the mind. Even during hectic shooting schedules, I make it a point to incorporate simple stretches and breathing exercises into my routine to stay energized and focused throughout the day. It’s these small but consistent efforts that make a big difference. A healthy body truly paves the way for a healthy and happy mind, and I cannot stress enough how important it is to prioritize fitness and self-care in our daily lives. Whether it’s through intense workouts or subtle movements like meditation, everyone can find a way to connect with their bodies and enhance their mental and emotional health."
