"Aditya garud has been training under me for Kathak for many years now. It is amazing how a student who came to me to learn for a month while pursuing company secretary, has dedicated his life to Kathak. Coming from a family of bureaucrats and with no artistic background, it takes a lot of challenge and dedication to take this art form and i am glad that aditya has really worked hard to pursue and imbibe it. Also the dedication and trust he showed in his guru, the constant support he received from me and belief in himself has helped him to reach where he is today."
