Family Background

Born in March 2009, Tanushree's father Uday Kumar works as an electrical contractor. Her mother Sandhya is a homemaker. Tanushree's parents introduced her to dance when she was three-and-a-half years old. She has a whopping 269 stage shows across the state to her credit. The girl is currently learning Bharatanatyam, hip-hop and semi-classical dance at the Mukuntha Kripa Music and Fine Arts, Udupi.

Her father told TOI that Tanushree didn't attend any yoga classes as she knew dance movements well and her body is quite flexible. Five months ago, Kushi, a girl from Mysuru, set a record in 'Niralamba Poorna Chakrasana' by doing it 15 times in a minute.

"I casually asked my daughter if she could do it. Without practice, she did it nine times. So I decided to give her practice. To break Kushi's record, Tanu had to perform 16 times, but she done it 19 times in a minute. I'm proud of her," he shares.
