"Dancing and acting come naturally to me," says the bubbly Baby Priya (Priyanka Sharma), who has been participating and winning awards for her dance performances since she was just 4 years old. This winning streak continued from his school days to his university studies and now he gains millions of fans on social media.
As a child artist, Baby Priya acted in her first TV serial 'Rahul' on DD when she was just 9 years old and appeared alongside the great icon of Indian cinema Shri Raza Murad. After winning one of the dance competitions when she was a student in Delhi, Baby Priya was felicitated by late Shiela Dixit, who was the CM of Delhi.
"The Indian classical dance form has always amazed me with its form of expression. It tells stories with Bhaav, Ras and an intricate beat (Laya Kari), which is typical of Indian classical dance forms and that is what makes it unique from other international dance forms," commented Baby Priya, who learned classical Kathak dance from Smt. Roshan Kumari, a classical Kathak dancer from Padmashree who, incidentally, was also a tutor to actress Saira Banu and later her guru was Dr Ina Shah.
A style icon:-
Since her childhood, Baby Priya liked to dress well and she had her own unique style of hers. Originally from Himachal Pradesh, people often mistake her for European or Middle Eastern, she was born and raised in Delhi.
Winner of several acting awards during her college days, Baby Priya was the only chosen one who performed during 2023 at Bharat Mandapam during the G20 summit in Delhi with her performance of Indian classical Kathak and Indian folk dance at the N20 Neuroscience Summit.
She has appeared in two television serials, Paathshala and Khel Khel Mein, which aired on Tata Sky. Baby Priya has lately appeared on the talk show Dr. VGP in Chicago which is trending online. With over 200 certificates in Baby Priya Dance and Acting performing classical Indian dance forms since her childhood, and dozens of live performances over the years.
On the threshold of international recognition
Every time Baby Priya uploads a new look on her social media, many established artists clone it from time to time. Both her dance style and her fashion sense.
When it comes to the dance itself, Baby Priya is the “epitomy of grace”. This is attested to by the three music videos in which she is the main protagonist, presented at the Grammy Awards between 2018 and 2023.
One of the dance videos of her produced by Sweet Beats shows her performing the song 'Inhi logo ne Le Liya Dupatta Mera', originally performed by the legendary Meena Kumariji. This performance is highly appreciated by several dance gurus, eminent choreographers, iconic film producers and directors and the general public.
Asked if she wants to become a style icon or an accomplished dancer, Baby Priya seems to have already made up her mind: "My only goal is to act in our Indian cinema. Today's Indian filmmakers are rapidly gaining international recognition with the art." and craftsmanship that are second to none, Indian films are captivating foreign audiences with their original stories, songs, dances and depictions of Indian culture and family values."
Due to her equal parts dancing and acting talent, she is a top candidate for directors and producers like Karan Johar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Anurag Basu, Shahrukh Khan, Sooraj Barjatya and Vishal Bharadwaj. With utmost modesty and honesty, this is how I would sum up my encounter with this upcoming Bollywood star.
Combination of talent and looks like hers, I would say in my experience she emerged only after Aishwariya Rai. Alternatively, in a nutshell, I would say that she is the Meena Kumari of the new age: with her exotic complexion, oriental looks and equal measure of dancing and acting prowess, that is the shy and charming Priyanka Sharma aka Baby Priya, for you!
