Daithankars Family Enthral The UK, USA Audiences

These four people must be one of the most talented families in the country. Pune-based Daithankar family were spotted in London recently enjoying their holidays after their shows in the UK and USA. Nupur Daithankar-Bag is Bharata Natyam exponent, teacher, TV star. Her father, the internationally acclaimed Dr Dhananjay Daithankar, is tabla/santoor artist and a music composer. Her mother Swati is a well-recognised Bharata Natyam artiste. And her brother Ninad is an engineer turned santoor player. In their concert tour, the Daithankars mesmerised the audiences in Chicago, San Jose, and Dallas with their concept of Nupur-Naad, a combined concert of Bharata Natyam and Santoor recital. The family were accompanied on tabla by the London-based wildlife photographer Saleel Tambe. NupurNaad presented an incredible amalgamation of the Indian ragas on Santoor with the dance form brilliantly curated to explore the nine ‘rasas’ and different emotions through storytelling in dance with compatible melody on the santoor.  Nupur is a popular Marathi actress who acted in TV  serial Baghi on Zee and done a movie Subhedar currently on Amazon. Ninad is an ardent foodie and traveller; Goa is one of his favourite destinations.
