Taking to Instagram then, the actress, who is known to be an exponent of classical dance, had announced, "Started my new classes on this auspicious day to selected students for Maathangi. A proper inauguration will be done at a later stage, where a lot more students can enrol. But I am cutting down on numbers as of now, just to have more focus. May Lord Ganesha and Nataraja bless all of us and these children for a bright future.

"For me, this moment is so important, as my guru Manu Master asked me to start teaching, a new phase of my life as a teacher (begins) ( I don't call myself guru, am not there yet ).

"I wish and pray that I can transfer whatever has been taught by my guru to all my students in the purest form I can. I wish I could do justice to this art form. Thanking almighty, gratitude."

The actress has also been delivering several classical dance performances, much to the delight of fans. IANS
