refully and answer the questions that follow:
1. Mayuri's success encouraged him to dub the film in Tamil and Malayalam and remake it in Hindi as
Nache Mayuri, and Sudha Chandran made her debut as a film star. She has since acted in many films in
several languages, and has produced Kannada film, Kalabhimani, based on the true life of Balanna, a deaf
artiste who went on to become a great character actor. (Balanna, 74, has 400 Kannada films to his credit.)
2. Sudha's success was followed by invitations for shows from all over the world. She has danced in several
European countries, Canada, and the Middle East. A few years ago she went to the United States on an
eight-performance tour around the country. She remembers a young girl who, after the Washington
concert, struggled through the crowds around the dancer, and with tears streaming down her face, silently
handed her a card that read, Congratulations. You have made it!
3.
Did the audience know her story everywhere? No, not everywhere. In fact, at some of the performances,
people learned about it only during the interval and after that there would be a wonderful, heartwarming
response But then they have had their heroes too. Did any of them accept defeat? Like them, I have also
believed in asking, "What next?" rather than "Why me?" If Helen Keller could overcome her handicap,
so can 1. That is what I have always told myself.
That, Sudha remarks, is what she replied to her Indian fans, thousands of whom wrote to her after the
release of her films. 'People wrote to say that they were inspired by my story and that it had given them
new hope. I do feel thrilled that my message has got across.'
And what is that message?
"The seed of achievement lies in the human mind. When this realization comes, there is no looking back.
Once I decided that my handicap was not going to stop me from dancing that was it.'
