It celebrates lifethrough the emotion of love and expression of dance. Speaking of which,the promos of its ditty, Dance pe chance are quite a pleasant surprise.Not so much for its beat (Salim-Sulaiman) as for Anushka’s smooth movesand an agile body language.
Hailingfrom an army background in Bengaluru, Anushkabegan her innings on the ramp at a very tender albeit confident age of15 and featured in several commercials like Silk & Shine andFiatPalio.

Not bad, Ms Sharma!
