कथक करना शुरू किया तो 'वेश्या' कहकर बुलाते थे लोग, फिर..

The famous Kathak dancer of the country is today the 97th Birth Anniversary of Star Devi. Pali 'Dhanno' in the streets of Kashirichi Kabirchora had become 'star' in the film world of Mumbai. Due to being born on the day of Dhanteras, the parents kept their name Dhanalakshmi and lovingly called them Dhanno. He knows the world as the goddess of the world. There was no mood for Kathak. Having mastered the Kathak from the Banaras family, he brought this dance style to the world screen.



Gita Krishan, the disciple of Star Devi, told that at the age of 16, influenced by his dance during a musical presentation at Calcutta's Santiniketan, Guru Ravindranath Tagore gave him the title of Kathak Queen.
