19 Sep
Summary
- Deepika Singh defended her viral dance during Ganpati visarjan.
- She described the performance as an artistic experiment with rhythm.
- Singh argued that audiences resist unfamiliar artistic expressions.
Actress Deepika Singh has addressed backlash concerning a video capturing her dancing during a Ganpati visarjan ceremony. Singh clarified that the performance was intended as an exploration of rhythm, not a typical dance routine. She expressed surprise that media outlets had amplified criticism from online trolls.
Singh asserted that her artistic endeavor was an experiment with rhythm, requiring an educated appreciation for art and an open mindset. She suggested that audiences are often resistant to unfamiliar artistic forms, finding them irritating simply because they differ from established norms. The actor highlighted that experimentation is fundamental to artistic progression.
Further, Singh called out an Odissi dancer for criticizing her moves, suggesting that such criticism is counterproductive. She pointed out instances where Odissi has been fused with other genres like jazz and Michael Jackson songs, which are accepted as fusion. Singh also clarified that her dance did not involve the characteristic torso movements or the 'Tribhangi' posture of Odissi, making it technically distinct from the classical form.
