MEETS HER PARTNER
I don t know whether dancers are born, tut Sadhona seems to be a born dancer. There is more grace in the turn of her little finger tnan m ti e numerous bcdy twists and hip-rolls g ven by some of our well-known stage dancers who keep on inflicting their devil-dances at regular intervals on us.
With the usual artist's precocity, the romantically-m nded Sadhona plunged into romance at the eariy age cf thirteen. It was a bad case of love at first sight and the first sight revealed Producer-director Modhu Bose.
They clashed together in a show Modhu had organised and in wnlch Sadhona was dancing. Modhu saw her and fell in a swoon and he has st 11 not recovered himself, though they have been married since 1930.

The grand daughter of a reformist, Sadhona had rebel blocd in her and she defied them all, till in 1930, when Modhu held her hand in wedlock, two social rebels faced the world with an all-singing, alldancing symphony.

With her husband as her producer. Sadhona Bose turned the stage dizzy with popularity. People who came to criticise stayed behind to praise, willing victims of Sadhona's charming art.
Though she believes that the stage provides a greater scope for the expression of a dancer's art. she feels that the screen is more effective in popularising our ancient art of dancing, because pictures reach a much larger audience. HARD -UP SADHONA
