Shakti Mohan is an Indian dancer, choreographer and television personality. She is the winner of Zee TV’s dance reality show Dance India Dance 2. She has been a judge and captain of Indian reality show Dance Plus since its inception.
Early Life
Though some sources claim she’s an only child, most agree she has three sisters: Neeti Mohan, a renowned singer, Mukti Mohan, a dancer and actress, and Kriti Mohan. Both Neeti and Mukti have carved their own paths in the art world. Shakti studied at Birla Balika Vidyapeeth, a boarding school in Pilani, Rajasthan. Later, she pursued a Political Science degree at St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai. Interestingly, before embracing dance, she aspired to become an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer.
While details of her early exposure to dance are scarce, it’s clear that artistic expression played a role. It’s also worth noting that her sisters’ artistic journeys likely influenced her own.
