A list of awards, a lineage of Kuchipudi maestros and an unconventional family – sisters Yamini and Bhavana Reddy share an exceptional heritage. They have the same father, and their mothers are real sisters. What makes the family so unique is the fact that each member is one of the country’s leading Kuchipudi dancers. The elder of the two, Yamini Reddy was trained by her parents, Padma Bhushan awardees Raja Reddy and Radha Reddy, and gave her first performance at the age of three. Her dance has been acknowledged through a string of awards and she has had a number of world tours. She now runs a dance school and teaches Kuchipudi to over 100 students. Her half-sibling Bhavana Reddy is the younger daughter and disciple of Raja Reddy and his second wife Kaushalya Reddy. She began performing with her parents at the age of five for prestigious festivals as well as international tours. Bhavana has also won several national and international awards and is a trained Western singer. She has performed at the Grammy after-party in 2013 and sung a song in the grunge rock style for the Hollywood film #JoyRide3.

New York-based, Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Falguni Shah’s music blends ancient classical Indian melodies with contemporary Western sounds. Music is a huge resource for personal growth and spirituality in her life. . “When I write a song, I think about so many subtle nuances that affect human nature – how people react, how emotions are created and felt by humans universally, which then leads to the bigger question I ask myself – why are we all here? I seek answers to all of this every day as part of my musical and spiritual journey,” says @falumusic. . In her younger years in Mumbai, Falguni trained in the Jaipur musical tradition and in the Benaras style of thumri. She moved to the US in 2000, where she was a visiting lecturer at Tufts University. . She was appointed Carnegie Hall’s ambassador of Indian Music in 2006, and has performed for former US president Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House. .

Brought up by a dynamic, enlightened single mom who used bedtime stories to inculcate critical thinking and compassion in her children, actor-model @PravishiDas learnt early on in life that there are always two sides to a story, and there’s always a reason for even the ‘bad guy’ to do what he or she does. . Not only did such a skill help her get under the skin of the characters she enacted on the big screen, it also contributed vastly to her parallel career as a conflict-resolution expert who has conducted workshops and undertaken sensitive assignments worldwide. . The petite, elegant Pravishi is known for her numerous TV commercials and movie roles in #RangDeBasanti, #NoSmoking, and more recently, the web series #MadeInHeaven.

With an oeuvre of meaningful, soul-stirring projects, award-winning actor Rasika Dugal’s world is one of literature, activism and soaking up experiences. “Your experiences as an actor are very intangible. And that’s the beauty of it – that it cannot be articulated adequately. It becomes a part of your life. Each project adds to your experience and makes you richer within. This is what you live for as an actor," she says. . . Having given nuanced and touching performances in films such as #Manto (2018), #Hamid (2019) and the highly successful web series #Mirzapur and #DelhiCrime, @RasikaDugal has been associated with films that take up issues of social injustice. “We all take sexism for granted. Even as women, we internalise it. The series Delhi Crime shows that there needs to be discourse, not anger.” . . Read her cover story today on eShe.in . .
