Anupamaa Star Shivam Khajuria On World Dance Day: Dance Is Pure Joy That Brings Back Childlike Happiness

World Dance Day 2025: Every year on April 29, the world comes together to celebrate World Dance Day, honoring the universal language of movement and artistic expression. Shivam Khajuria, currently winning admiration for his role in Anupamaa, shared heartfelt insights about the significant role dance plays in his life.

"Dance has always been a beautiful expression of emotions for me," Shivam shares. "It's that one medium where words aren't needed - your body speaks for you. On World Dance Day, I feel grateful for how dance brings people together across languages and cultures. For me personally, it's a complete stress-buster."

The actor admits that dance has a magical way of uplifting his spirits, no matter how hectic his day has been. "Dance definitely elevates my mood. It makes me feel alive. The emotion I associate most with dance is pure joy. It's that childlike happiness where you're not conscious of anything, you're just in the moment. Dance brings that rare feeling back beautifully."

When it comes to Bollywood inspirations, Shivam has a clear favorite. "Hrithik Roshan is my all-time favorite dancer. His fluidity, precision, and effortless style are unmatched. Every move he makes looks so natural yet powerful - it's impossible to take your eyes off him."

Shivam also revealed his admiration for contemporary dance and his desire to learn it someday. "I love contemporary because it combines strength, grace, and storytelling. It's something I would love to explore further."

Speaking about his go-to song for dancing, Shivam said, "'Ghungroo' from War is my absolute favorite! It's got the perfect beats and a happy vibe. Every time it plays, I can't stay still - it just makes you want to dance your heart out without a care."

Sharing his experience from the sets of Anupamaa, Shivam adds, "I really enjoy the dance sequences we do in Anupamaa. They are so much fun to practice with the cast. It uplifts the entire mood on set, creates wonderful memories behind the scenes, and strengthens our bond even more."

On this World Dance Day, Shivam Khajuria reminds us all that dance is not just about perfect moves but about letting go, celebrating life, and reconnecting with the purest emotions within us.
