Shobana, is an Indian film actress and most importantly, a world-renowned bharatanatyam dancer. She acts predominantly in Malayalam language, in addition to Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada and English language films. She is also the proud recipient of two National Film Awards for her exquisite performance.
Shobana is the niece of the Travancore sisters – Lalitha, Padmini and Ragini, all of whom were classical Indian dancers and actresses. The actress Sukumari was her paternal aunt. Malayalam actress Ambika Sukumaran is her relative. Malayalam actors Vineeth is her cousin and Krishna is her nephew. She has an adopted daughter Ananthanarayani.
Shobana's recent video is definitely a delightful surprise. It demonstrates the way to dance your way through your daily work. Though the actress and her students make it seem so elegantly simple, it is not so - it is just a portrayal of "the life of the young artists of KRISHNA ( Kalarpana Research Institution of Shobana)".
"Practicing, revisiting, creating" - this is how they keep themselves busy this quarantine, Shobana adds. Watch the video here!
