My Story
Hey, I’m Shreema. Dancer, actor, model, sketch artist when the mood hits, and if you offer me chai, I’m yours. Been learning Bharatanatyam since I was four - my guru Praveen Kumar, he’s shaped everything. Ten years back, I wouldn’t have believed where I’d land. It’s been wild: survival, tiny dreams, disappointments, hope. I’m still figuring it out, honestly. Trusting the process, being kind to myself, and loving every bit of this journey.
My Work
What I do - I perform Bharatanatyam at events, act in films, and model. Sometimes all at once!
The real story behind the art - Grace on stage? Sure. But it’s mostly sweat, injuries, self-doubt, and some scheduling nightmares. Worth it, though.
My style - Dance means perspective. I mix traditional Padams with improv Bharatanatyam acts, sometimes giving mythology a modern twist.
Beyond just dance - I've danced on stages from UK to Saudi. Also acted in films like Ponniyin Selvan 2. Each one, a new adventure.
