Thoughts on the Episode
My conversation with Devesh ji was one I was super excited for and you can probably sense my nervousness in my tone! That being said, it is a great episode about being a male kathak dancer, balancing bollywood with kathak, Devesh ji's first solo performance and a whole host of other topics.
