The internet sees dance videos every day, but Chhattisgarh-based Lavanya Das Manikpuri’s latest clip has emerged as an instant attention grabber. Her belly-dancing routine on Katrina Kaif’s Afghan Jalebi hit feeds and went viral instantly.
Lavanya balanced a sword on her waist, kept her movements sharp, then shifted the sword to her head like it weighed nothing. She stayed locked on the rhythm the whole time. From hip drops to glides and turns - each movement looked perfectly clean.
