Kathak calms me down: Avantika Mishra

Avantika Mishra, who was last seen in Neelakanta���s Maaya, is busy learning Kathak these days and says it has a soothing effect on her. ���I learnt Kathak before making my debut in films. However, my ongoing commitments don���t give me a chance to practice on a regular basis. The thing with any dance form is that you have to keep practicing it; otherwise you'll forget the moves.So, whenever I go home I make up for all the lost time and practice the dance form. In fact, my dance guru and my mother keep pushing me to take it up whenever I am free. And whenever I travel, I carry a bunch of kathak videos and learn from that. It calms me down, whenever I have a bad day,��� Avantika says.
Currently, the actress is in Hyderabad to shoot for her next Telugu film and next year, she���ll start shooting for a Tamil film. And it turns out that she's seriously considering to settle down in one city. ���For the past few years, I have been shuttling between Bangalore, Kolkata, Mumbai and Hyderabad. I almost feel like a gypsy; however, I have made up my mind to move to Mumbai permanently and see how things go next year,��� she signs off.
