My view towards life and my world-view widened. Since I was dancing a lot and doing many shows, I got more comfortable performing in front of large crowds. So, when I was shooting in front of people around me, I wasn't scared or shy. I could do it with ease. With this strong base, dancing in movies was never a problem, too. So, Kathak has, in a way, shaped my life.
I was also into reading a lot at that age. When youngsters my age were partying, drinking and dating, I was busy reading, thus nourishing my intelligence. I can have a conversation on any topic with anyone. I'm really happy that I did all that at 16 and didn't waste my time in profanities.
