Pammi Aunty can dance!

Not many know that Ssumier Pasricha, who is the brainchild behind Pammi Aunty, is a trained dancer. The actor-comedian is all set to return to dance after 15 years. Ssumier learnt Kuchipudi dancer under Padma Bhushan Raja Radha Reddy, a stalwart of this dance form. But due to his back problems, Ssumier had to stop his practice. 

Speaking about the inspiration, Ssumier says, “My last performance was in 2003 after which I did try to get back to Kuchipudi, but due to my back problem I was not able to. Plus, after moving to Mumbai, I had no time as I was busy pursuing my passion for acting. Recently I have been gymming, doing yoga and everything I could to strengthen my back and then slowly I returned to my favourite form of dance. Dance takes me into another world.”
