The actor is soon going to start his training in the Punjabi dance form Bhangra and being from the northern state himself, he is excited to get to know his roots through this form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An ecstatic Vardhan says, \u201cI am a Punjabi and have so much love and fascination for its culture. My whole family is rooted in that. And I think it is a great opportunity for me to explore that by learning Bhangra. It is a dance form that I have always been really fascinated by. I felt magnetised towards its charm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/talksofcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-27-at-12.50.37-PM1-684x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/talksofcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-27-at-12.50.37-PM1-684x1024.jpeg 684w, https:\/\/talksofcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-27-at-12.50.37-PM1-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/talksofcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-27-at-12.50.37-PM1-768x1151.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/talksofcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-27-at-12.50.37-PM1-1025x1536.jpeg 1025w, https:\/\/talksofcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-27-at-12.50.37-PM1-696x1043.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/talksofcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-27-at-12.50.37-PM1-280x420.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/talksofcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-27-at-12.50.37-PM1.jpeg 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actor adds that he has done contemporary, Hip Hop and Bollywood dance before, but in the past few years, he has felt a pull towards Bhangra. \u201cIt is such an amazing form of expression and I can\u2019t wait to start my training. Bhangra and Gidda look so appealing to the eye. I recently did a trial class and I felt so liberated doing that. Bhangra just lights up the stage or the screen wherever it is performed on. I feel it will help me connect with my Punjabi culture more too,\u201d he insists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being a Punjabi, Vardhan remembers doing Bhangra during Lohri and casually at parties and functions with friends and family. But he realises that it\u2019s not the properly trained one. \u201cI have never really learnt it or received training from a Sikh person for the actual expression that goes into it. It\u2019s actually a very loving form, there is a romanticism in Bhangra. I don\u2019t feel that grace in any other dance form. I am waiting for the day to start my training. I am sure it will be a learning experience and an emotional journey,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2019, Vardhan Puri made a smashing entry in the acting world with Yeh Saali Aashiqui.
