New Delhi, Jan 4 (IBNS) The Bharat Citizens Action Forum (BCAF) has felicitated Kathak exponent and actress Anjanaa Bhattacharya with a Special Award for Kathak for 2014 at a special function in Delhi last week.

Anjanaa was presented a citation and plaque for her contribution to promote Indian Classical Dance and Music and Kathak in particular.

Anjanaa Bhattacharya has performed at the Bhavan's Mumbai Kathak Festival and the Taj Mahotsav and was also honoured with the Maharashtra Gaurav Puraskar award  in 2014.

She has been studying Kathak for the last 10 years under Kathak gurus Jayantimala and the late Sitara Devi.

She had featured in films like Zilla Gaziabad, Right Ya Wrong, Chashme Baddoor.

Anjanaa said, “My guru has a house where we practice and live the entire day. That’s like my second home where I eat, live, dance. Sometimes bade guruji chit-chats and teaches us but we all are very scared of Sitaraji as she is a strict and very disciplined teacher.”
