Chennai, Mar 5 (UNI) It would be proud moment for Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth's daughter and United Nations Goodwill Ambassador Aishwarya Dhanush when she gives a classical Bharatanatyam dance performance at the UN Headquarters in New York on March eight--the International Women's day. It was a rare honour for the classical dancer-turned film director as it was, perhaps, for the first time, an Indian danseue would be performing at the UN stage on the momentous occasion coinciding with the World Women's day. Talking to reporters here, an elated Aishwarya said it would be an hour long performance and the event was being organised by India’s Permanent Mission to UN. The dance programme would be co-sponsored by America Tamil Sangam, an organisation formed by the Tamils in US to promote and development of the language. With this endeavour, the seeds for which were sown during a conversation she had with India's Permanent Representative to UN Syed Akbarudeen, Aishwarya would be back to some serious dancing as she would be performing a series of renditions during the hour long event during which the famed Indian director was expected to mesmerise the audience. She said it was a proud moment for her and her family. This year, the theme for International Women’s Day focuses on ‘Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030.’ The multi-talented director, who has earlier stated her passion for dance, would be promoting gender quality with her Bharatanatyam dance recital at the UN headquarters. “It’s my honour and pleasure to be performing at the UN headquarters on International Women’s Day this year', she had said. After a gap of seven years, Aishwarya got back to dancing last year along with her mentor Meenakshi Chittaranjan. Since both her father and her husband Dhanush were busy with their shooting schedules, Aishwaryana would be leaving for New York alone for the solo show, during which she would perform for the song 'Maithrim Bhajathey', sung by late melody queen M S Subbulakshmi in the UN decades back, to highlight the need for peace, she said. All the 190-member countries and top Indian diplomats were invited for the event. UNI GV CS 1559
