Sitara Devi, (News), New Delhi: When we talk about Hindi cinema, countless veteran names come to mind – artists who shaped the industry and left an indelible heritage. But do you know who was the first Bollywood dancer? The woman who not only introduced dances in cinema in a new dimension, but also raised it as a separate art? She was none other than the great star goddess, who is remembered as the “queen of Kathak”.

A great figure of Indian classical dance

Sitara Devi was more than just a dancer. She was a celebrity who brought the pride of India’s classical heritage to the global stage. Although he is no longer among us, his immense contribution to Kathak is still remembered with the same respect and praise as in his lifetime. His passion, Kaushal and Abha gave him a permanent title of Kathak Queen.

Travel of struggles and successes

The life of Sitara Devi, however, was not easy. He faced taunts, criticisms and countless obstacles, but never gave up. From a very young age, he had to face difficulties-his parents also kept him under the supervision of a domestic maid. Nevertheless, instead of allowing these conflicts to make his identity, the star made him his strength and moved forward with perseverance and determination.

Turning in personal life

His personal life was also full of ups and downs. He was first married at the age of eight, but he decided to separate from it to carry forward his love for dance. Later, he married Nazir, 16 years older than him, even changed his religion for marriage.

Unfortunately, this relationship did not last long, and finally Nazir’s nephew, filmmaker K.K. His closeness with Asif increased. But even this marriage could not meet the test of time. Despite these personal failures, Sitara Devi kept shining in her art and mesmerized the audience around the world with her unmatched Kathak performances. His story is the story of pain, courage and unwavering dedication to dance.
