Telling a story



Shobhana

Shobhana, actor and a Bharatnatyam dancer, has now turned into a storyteller. This star has lent her voice as narrator for an audiobook presentation of Kalidasa’s all-time popular Sanskrit classic, Abhijnanashakuntalam in Eng lish. The story is interspersed with Sanskrit verses rendered musically. The music has been composed and rendered by the Carnatic, Hindustani and Western classical musician Sriram Parasuram. This release is part of the bestselling Charkha Audiobook series for young adults and adults from Karadi Tales Company.

With this narration Shobhana too joins the list of eminent persons — Naseeruddin Shah, Gulzar, Usha Uthup, Girish Karnad, Nandita Das — who have lent their voices to Karadi Tales.
