Sudha Chandran: Why she kicks ass
- She is an accomplished Bharatanatyam dancer, Indian film and television actress.
- She attended a famous dance school in Mumbai ‘Kala Sadan at the age of five. The teachers refused to admit such a young girl but her father discussed the matter with the principal of that school, and requested him to at least see her dance once. The principal was surprised to see Sudha’s perform so beautifully that he finally admitted her in the prestigious institution.
- In 1981, while traveling from there to the South during pilgrimage via the scindia school in Tamil Nadu, she met with an accident, resulting in her right leg being amputated. She has said that this period was the toughest time of her life.
- Half a year after the amputation, Sudha came across an article about Dr. Sethi of Jaipur and about the artificial legs that he manufactured. The doctor assured that with the light aluminium legs, she could once again chase her dreams and Sudha was back in Mumbai with a dash.
- With this a new round of struggle began. First, she began to practice walking with her artificial leg. On meeting with success at this first stage, she tried to dance as well. This was however not easy. Although Dr. Sethi deputed an assistant to study Sudha’s dance and make the changes as per the requirements of dance, the changes made by the assistant could not reduce the problems. Her leg would often bleed and as the movements of the leg become faster, the pain became more severe. At the end of every dance session, when she used to see the blood, she would start losing hope.
- However, her determination did not falter and she was able to control her disappointment. There used to be severe pain due to friction of the skin of the amputated leg and the artificial leg. She used to bear the pain and did not allow her face to reflect her agony.
- On January 28, 1984 , she presented a dance programme along with another dancer Preeti in a hall of the “South India Welfare Society” of Mumbai. She had already been acknowledged as a proficient dancer before the accident, and had received two important awards- Nritya Mayuri from the Dance Academy and Bharatnatyam and Nav Jyoti from the Telugu Academy. Both these awards were considered outstanding in the field of dance, compelling her to maintain her reputation.
- At the end of the show, the hall echoed with the sound of claps. The programme was considered very successful. Dance reviewers appreciated the performance. Newspapers and magazine were full of descriptions, appreciation and pictures.
- With the help of her prosthetic ’Jaipur foot’, she become one of the most highly acclaimed dancers of the Indian subcontinent, and received invitations from all over the world for performances. She was honored with various awards after she performed as far away from home as Europe, Canada and the Middle East.
- The famous Telugu film producer, Ramoji Rao, not only praised her but also decided to produce a film based on her life story. The film was titled Mayuri, and Sudha was being cast as herself as the protagonist. Although she hesitated initially and said that she was fully devoted to her dance only and that she did not have sufficient knowledge of acting, the film was a hit. Sudha’s acting won as much appreciation as her dance.
- Sudha won a special award- Silver Lotus and Rs.5,000 for her acting in this film. This award was presented by the then President of India, Gyani Zail Singh at the 33rd National Film Festival on the recommendation of members of the jury.
- On seeing the outstanding success of the film, its producer made the film in Hindi as well. This Hindi film was titled Nache Mayuri and it spread the news of her talent in the entire nation.

when white people start talking i stop listening
Launching yourself off the edge
Into a free fall of
The lies, the truth, the hurt
They collect and then disperse
Just as quickly
The fear of the unknown
It grips you in its claws
Piercing your shell
Your fragile shell
You thought you would be free
Having taken the leap
You thought the chains
The heavy chains
Would no longer weigh you down
But they crush you
The weight increases
The pressure builds
You get dizzy
It’ll all be over soon
Unless there’s no end in sight
Unless you never hit the ground
