Pranutan Bahl revisits her grandmother Nutan’s timeless melody
Actor Pranutan Bahl paid homage to her late grandmother, yesteryear Bollywood actor Nutan, by sharing a video of herself dancing to the popular song Mora Gora Ang Laile from the film Bandini (1963).
Dressed in all-black salwar kameez, Pranutan showcased some graceful moves in the video, along with which she wrote, “This is a really special one because it’s my dadi’s song (sic).”
Talking about recreating the track, sung by Lata
Mangeshkar, Pranutan, who is the daughter of Bollywood actor Mohnish Bahl, shares:
It was a wonderful xperience, and I was obviously very nervous because it is a classic. We all know that it is performed by an absolute legend, which is my dadi. This is one of my favourite songs. I’ve been learning Bharatanatyam, but I wanted to do Kathak for this song.”
The actor admits that she was, indeed, nervous about this performance, as she realises that she was stepping into the shoes of a legend.
“I didn’t get a lot of time to prepare for it, so I was more nervous. But, I just wanted to
do this once and see how it will turn out,” she adds.
Pranutan, who made her Bollywood debut with Notebook in 2019, says that she is overwhelmed by the love that has come her way
for this tribute to her grandmother.
“I feel honoured when audiences talk about my resemblance to dadi. She was one of a kind, and I really enjoy her performances, with Bandini being my favourite. I am overwhelmed by all the love and beautiful responses I have been getting on my performance. A big hug to all my fans,” concludes the actor.
