While talking to Bollywood Bubble, when Shantanu was asked about negative criticism, he said, “I never had to face it. Thankfully, I never had to face that. I think I come from Kolkata, so Kolkata is by default very rich in literature and art. Therefore, there is never a thought in them that ‘the girl is dancing like this’. They appreciate art and culture very much and so do my parents. He never thought like this. In fact, my father wanted for a long time and still wants me to do classical dance. I am not a trained dancer. I am self-trained, self-taught.”
