Viral Video Sparks Debate: Did Goddess Possess Sudha Chandran at Mata Ki Chowki?
Mumbai, India – A video of renowned television actress and Bharatanatyam dancer Sudha Chandran has gone viral, igniting a flurry of discussion online. The video, taken during a Mata Ki Chowki (a Hindu devotional gathering) at her Mumbai residence, shows Chandran exhibiting what some are calling erratic behavior.
While attendees were immersed in prayer, Chandran’s actions became increasingly animated, with some suggesting she was possessed by a goddess. Others have been critical, questioning the authenticity of the display. Throughout the event, her husband, Ravi Dang, was seen tending to her.
Ravi Dang, a Punjabi assistant director, has worked on popular productions such as ‘Shaktimaan,’ ‘Lakhi Durga Saraswati’ and ‘Vishvavidhata.’ He also manages Sudha Chandran Dance Academy in Mumbai.
Dang has been a constant source of support for Chandran throughout their relationship. The couple reportedly met on a film set where Dang was working as an assistant director, and Chandran has described it as “love at first sight.” Despite cultural differences – Chandran is Tamil Brahmin while Dang is Punjabi – and initial opposition from their families, the couple eloped in 1994 after six years of dating. They secretly married at the Chirana Nagar Murugan Temple in Chembur, Mumbai.
Early in their marriage, Sudha and Ravi had made the decision to remain childfree.
Chandran is a celebrated dancer and actress known for her resilience. In 1981, she suffered a severe bus accident resulting in the amputation of her leg below the knee due to gangrene. She has since continued her career using a prosthetic limb, inspiring many with her determination and talent.
