This animated Bollywood music video follows the emotional journey of Aadarshini, who is feeling out of place at a traditional Indian wedding. At the reception, she is mesmerized by dancer Parvati, who is the embodiment of classic Indian culture. Aadarshini may not be able to keep up with Parvati’s choreography, but she finds acceptance in her community through her own unique and unusual dance style.
