Umesh Shetty, director of the Temple of Fine Arts (TFA), ponders on what his father Gopal Shetty would have said about Rohini Shetty’s upcoming dance performance, Sadhana – The Grace Through Kathak in Kuala Lumpur this month.

Rohini, Gopal’s granddaughter and Umesh’s eldest child, recently graduated with an arts (dance) degree from Australia and will soon make her debut solo performance, fittingly on Malaysian soil.
