'TRADITIONAL ARTFORM IS GOING GLOBAL'
Geeta explains that there is quite an interest for the artform at venues abroad too. 'People outside of our country are so fascinated with this artform, especially when they learned that it comes from a small village in India. They felt an instant connection,' she says. 'They were most impressed to see how natural colours were used in unique traditional ways. They appreciated how deeply rooted Chittara is in nature, and admired its beauty and meaning.

'EACH PATTERN HAS ITS
MEANING'
Every design and pattern in Chittara has a meaning associated with it. From borders on the entrance of the house, to painting mud pots for cultural events, every painting has a different meaning, explains Geeta. 'Vessels used during festivals are hand-painted by artists. Again, each of the patterns here has a different meaning that adds cultural value to the entire customs and traditions followed."

It all happened during the filming of his much-loved debut film 'Maine Pyar Kiya', and the reason behind those tears is enough to melt hearts. Emotional moment struck during song shoot 'Maine Pyar Kiya', released in 1989, was directed by Sooraj Barjatya and featured Bhagyashree as the female lead. While shooting the popular song 'Kabootar Ja Ja Ja', Salman had an unexpected and deeply emotional moment that changed everything for him. He finally saw himself as a hero In a heartfelt interview with Hello! Indo-Arabia, Salman shared, 'I was about 18 years old, and there was a truly memorable moment during the shoot for the song Kabootar Ja Ja Ja when I suddenly knew that this was the role for me. During several narrations, I'd imagine Jackie Shroff or Anil Kapoor in those roles, but I could never actually see myself doing big films. That moment was the first time I really felt, 'Yes, I can do this'. I had tears in my eyes.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pierce Brosnan's Wife Lost 120 Pounds - This Is Her Now Undo A letter straight from the heart After the film's grand success, Salman reached out to his fans through an open letter.
