It looks like Dhanush family is under trouble. The days are very bad for them and they are getting bad publicity day in and day out. It is entirely their own doing .No one can be blamed. It is singer Suchi leaks that is playing on the reputation and now it is the bad performance of his wife Aishwarya.
Aishwarya Dhanush could not rise upto the expectations of the experts here. Aishwarya Dhanush’s invitation to perform at the UN headquarters in New York was heralded with much praise, but the dancers and culture fraternity are unhappy, to say the least. When the video of her performance in NY was released online, veterans and aspiring dancers alike, took to social media to express their shock at how inept Aishwaryaa’s performance was.
There was further mumbling on how those with decades of experience could never hope for a chance like this, and Aishwaryaa wasted the opportunity. But at the same time, there was defence for her, with many claiming that it was not her fault, but her guru’s for letting her accept the invitation and participate without being well-prepared or trained.
Is the backlash justified or is the director-dancer, who’s also a UN Goodwill Ambassador being targeted? Dancer Anita Ratnam took to Twitter and called Aishwaryaa’s performance the ‘pathetic state of Bharatanatyam at the UN’, she further added that there are many deserving dancers without political or star clout.
Murugashankari Leo Prabhu, a popular Bharatanatyam exponent and research scholar, opines, “Basically, in any field, people with influence and contact, get many opportunities. This comes with a few pros and cons — if an artiste is good, even if influential, then it doesn’t matter.
On the other hand the legend in the family Rajinikanth who stays out of controversies, is surprised at the way controversies are surrounding his family members. Knowing things pretty well he does not want to make them further murkier. Rajini the baba is just keeping quite.
