Through the years, diverse influences have inspired her to immerse herself in pure dance, cross art form collaborations, and innovative partnerships.

Her life’s mission as an artist is to create awareness and knowledge about Kathak, the creations from cross disciplinary collaborations and tell stories to audiences. Her vision is to elevate and encourage the innovative performances and collaborations to grow a wider audience for Indian classical dance and the intersections with diverse art styles.
