From rural Maharashtra to Bollywood, Shakti’s art shows a unique blend of Indian folk and modern dance. The depth and emotions in his work are such that every performance resides in the heart of the audience. But very few people know that doctors once told Shakti Mohan that she would not be able to walk, leave alone dance. (Photo courtesy: Instagram @mohanshakti)

Shakti Mohan has mentioned this in many of his interviews. Dancing diva Shakti Mohan’s journey began from a moment where defeat was certain. Her body was seriously injured and the doctors almost said that she would not be able to stand on her feet again. (Photo courtesy: Instagram @mohanshakti)

But with his willpower and dedication towards art, Shakti Mohan transformed this misfortune into the biggest inspiration of his life. Shakti Mohan, who is today counted among the best contemporary dancers of India, had an accident in her childhood which completely changed her life. (Photo courtesy: Instagram @mohanshakti)

At a very young age, Shakti met with a terrible accident, where she suffered a serious injury to her leg. The injury was so severe that doctors almost discouraged her family by saying that she might never be able to walk normally. (Photo courtesy: Instagram @mohanshakti)

Instead of getting discouraged by this pessimistic statement of the doctors, Shakti Mohan’s mother showed determination. He tried to cure his daughter by using traditional medicine as well as by motivating her to walk and then dance. During this difficult time, Shakti Mohan started learning Bharatnatyam to speed up her recovery. (Photo courtesy: Instagram @mohanshakti)

The rigorous training of classical dance became for her not just art but therapy. Bharatanatyam strengthened his body and breathed life into his leg, which the doctors had declared ‘disabled’. In this process, what started as a treatment became his greatest passion. (Photo courtesy: Instagram @mohanshakti)

Shakti Mohan’s biggest struggle is related to his audition for ‘Dance India Dance Season 2’. Shakti herself has told many times that she had to stand in the crowd for hours at the audition venue, hungry and thirsty. For a moment he felt like leaving it all behind and going back, but that struggle from his childhood kept him back. When she was selected and then she started performing in the show with her unique style of contemporary dance, the audience and judges gave unprecedented love. (Photo courtesy: Instagram @mohanshakti)
