The caption to the video states, “I’ll stop dancing to this song when they make a better one. Till then..”

Looking radiant in a purple saree and white blouse, she can be seen performing some elements of the classical Indian dance Kathak along with her well choregraphed impeccable dance moves. Her elegant spins and her stylised moves were a pleasant sight.

A second user stated, “I’ve never seen someone dance with SO MUCH LIFE, not sure how to put it, but this looks like freedom.” A third user wrote, "Very disappointed with the audience , I would have screamed like anything ,,,,too decent audience for such chakras and such energy."

A fourth user said, “She is not just dancing; she's playing with dance.” Another user commented," And then they say, ki saree me dance nhi ho pata, look at her, she ate it." A fifth user remarked, “Pyaaz on gas stove.”

"Love it. Just fabulous. Graceful, done with such ease. It's a sheer delight to watch," wrote another user. The post, which has amassed over 4.41 lakh likes and numerous reactions from social media, is still making the rounds.
