Shakti runs a dance academy ‘Nritya Shakti’. “In our academy, we teach all type of dance forms. From classical, hip-hop to contemporary and many of our students now have become celebrity dancers.” Any projects in movies? “Movies are just another medium. I love to dance and if there’s an opportunity, I will defiantly like to take it up; but that’s not my focus. I just want to dance. Apart from dancing I am not looking for any opportunity to act in a movie, I am a dancer and I just want to dance.”
