Singer Monali Thakur, who has learnt hip-hop and Bharatnatyam and is a trained Salsa exponent, says dancing helps her to get rid of her inhibitions.
"Dance helps me get rid of my inhibitions...It is extremely linked and as an artiste I feel lucky, privileged that I that I can combine these three (acting, singing and dancing)..." Monali told IANS.
Apart from crooning a string of hit songs like "Zara zara touch me", "Sawaar loon", and "Moh moh ke dhaage", the National-Award winner has also acted in films including Nagesh Kukunoor's 2014 released "Lakshmi", thorugh which she made her acting debut.
Asked if she would like to explore the acting zone more, she said: "Of course I will like to explore more of acting. I am an artiste...There are different ways which I can express. I love the process of filmmaking. I would want to be a part of it till the end."
But the 30-year-old singer says she is a "musician (and) that (fact) can never disappear at all..."
