Sreeleela reveals her new side

Taking to her Instagram handle, Sreeleela shared a set of photos from her dance performance. In a long post, the actress revealed that she started off as a classical dancer and it has been almost 10-15 years since she last performed on stage. 

Her caption read, “So, I don’t know if you guys know, but classical dance is where I started... I started very, very young actually! I used to travel with my troupe for performances (mostly in temples). We called them ‘ballets’ (no, not ballet dance). And I think those days really taught me a lot and I enjoyed it so much. It was indeed my favorite hobby. It was really different doing it after years, but I embraced it and realized that it’s a huge part of me. This is another side of me for youuu.”

She further penned, “Anywhooo Dance is where I learned everything from ‘Abhinaya’ to ‘Bhava’ EVERYTHING!!!!! What I’m trying to say is that the day before, I performed!!! It had been almost 10-15 years since I was on stage. I wish I had time to practice, but it was a koshish from my side. I played this beautiful young goddess GODHA DEVI, Meaning ‘THE GEM OF A LADY.’ You should read about her; it’s beautiful. Thanking Manju Bhargavee aunty for motivating me to do thissss. It felt really different and nice and yeah, also breaking the cliché actress rules.”
