Preethi Sanjeev slams Prabhu Deva's Bharatanatyam recital in Chennai

Preethi Sanjeev criticized Prabhu Deva's Bharatanatyam performance at an event in Chennai marking the 100th birth anniversary of Guru Sri Udupi Lakshmi Narayanan.

Preethi said she never expected Prabhu Deva to make an 'unforgivable mistake' and suggested the opportunity should have gone to a young trained Bharatanatyam dancer.

Social media users are divided: some support Preethi, insisting classical dance must adhere to grammar and technique; others defend Prabhu Deva, viewing the performance as a tribute to his guru.

Prabhu Deva is a leading dancer and choreographer with a successful career in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi films.
