Zahara Sethjiwala: Dance helps me find inner peace, no matter how anxious or upset I am

That Zahara Sethjiwala is a natural when it comes to comedy is well known. But, not many know that the talented actress is an equally brilliant dancer. In fact, she receives a lot of appreciation for her dance videos on social media. Ask the actress, who is currently part of ‘Happu Ki Ultan Paltan’, what dance means to her, and she replies, “It is my passion, undoubtedly.Dance has been my passion since childhood, even before acting became one.”
However, though she is passionate about dance, Zahara is sure that she doesn’t want to explore it as a career option at some point. “I love both acting and dancing, but acting is the only thing I want to make a career out of. Dance is something that I do for myself and my happiness. I love learning, and when it comes to dance, I just want to be a learner for life,” she explains.
Given that dance and laughter are a huge part of who she is as a person, what does she seek refuge in when she feels low, dance or comedy? “I would say, dance. It helps me find inner peace, no matter how anxious or upset I am. It places me in a different zone; sometimes, I even dance to sad songs, as it helps me let the emotions out. There are times when I watch comedy movies when I am low, but that doesn’t help me find an outlet for my inner turmoil; they just offer me a temporary distraction. That’s why I prefer dance,” she shares.

Talking about dance, she shares that her favourite style is Bollywood. “I am crazy about ’90s Bollywood music and I can dance anywhere anytime when those songs are played. They bring me sheer happiness. I love playing with my expressions and there’s nothing better than quintessential Bollywood tracks for that,” she gushes.
