Actress and a noted danseuse Shobana is busy performing at various sabhas in and around Chennai.

'For me both films and dance are very important. I treat them with equal respect', says Shobhana.

'I started learning dance when I was very young and my first professional performance was at the age of 14.

At that time I found it difficult to balance dance and studies, she says and adds, 'I have done nearly 230 films in all the South Indian languages and Hindi and two Indian-made English films.

The two films are Mithr - My Friend by Revathi and Dance like a Man.

I have played some good roles in Malayalam and Tamil. I would say my best films include four in Malayalam — Manichitrathazhu, Thenmavin Kombathu, Balumahendra's Yathra and Magalukku'
