Actress and Kathak dancer Prachee Shah Paandya keeps a distance from "pre-planned" reality television shows, and questions why India lacks a non-fiction show focussing only on classical dance. Prachee, who holds a Guinness World Record for performing 93 Kathak spins in one minute, feels that in India, western dance is overpowering the traditional dance forms. She blames reality shows, Bollywood and social media for it.
"Why can't we have dance reality shows focusing only on classical dance? We have experienced and renowned classical dancers in our country, but people won't make shows on it as they think it will not sell in the market," Prachee said here. "My 10-year-old daughter is learning western dance only. What else can I say... It is just the influence of Bollywood, reality shows and especially of social media on people that they are opting western dance over classical dance," she added.
