Aishwarya Addepalli MD

convinced my dad to do this one (ft. my mom in the back so focused hoping we don’t mess up) 😂 and my brother recorded this (a whole family endeavour) #pricetag #desi #indian

all while wearing a saree underneath 🫶 Officially Dr.Aishwarya Addepalli, MD! I’ve always wanted to do this trend haha #graduation #medschool #md #desi

adding the Indian classical touch to this trend ❤️ #bharatanatyam #dance #expression #mudras ic: @Chaithu

just me and my entire heart in one video ❤️ #southasian #desi #md #grad @aditya

@Ed Sheeran singing in PUNJABI? calls for an Indian classical fusion rendition! Love the cultural appreciation 🫶 this song is a bop! (Btw I am formally trained in #bharatanatyam and this is inspired by it!) #dance #sapphire

Replying to @Aishwarya 🩺 dad understood the assignment #desi #brown #pricetag

Indian classical fusion to Ed Sheeran x Arijit Singh 🫶 Punjabi is such a beautiful language!! #dance #sapphire Just fyi - this dance is actually Bharatanatyam, which is Indian classical dance originating from South India (Tamilnadu)! Punjabi dance forms include other forms like Bhangra and Giddha which I am not doing here (I am not trained in those) 💃 just wanted to clarify :)

two young engineers moved to a foreign country 30 years ago to give their children the opportunity to achieve their dreams. I owe it all to them. I am rich with love ❤️ they were feeling bad they couldn’t Hood me (bc they arent doctorates)- little do they know, that they paved the way for generations to come in my family, they walked so I could run, they helped me achieve my dreams and stuck with me through thick and thin. Becoming a first-gen Dr hits different ❤️ #family #graduation #md #doctor

Wore my amazing Grandma’s saree for my MD commencement! nothing more timeless than this 🫶 #md #graduation #doctor

(Will make a video on how I studied for my exams soon!!) #USMLE #medschool #med #md

Part 2/4 of my WOD 2025 HEADLINER performance- when your jewelry won’t stay on but you gotta keep going! haha (full YouTube vid linked on my bio!) It was an honor to be invited by @worldofdance as Headliner to represent my style and blend of culture, my Indian American identity! I’ve been doing Bharatanatyam since I was just 4 years old- little me literally grew up watching WOD wondering if there would ever be a space for a dancer like me! I never would’ve thought I’d be on that very stage, doing Bharatanatyam! Truly a full circle moment :) I had so much fun choreographing this. 🫶 Each song was chosen with intention!: ✨ I started by sharing a glimpse of abhinaya (expression), -then drew a connection with my (predominantly non-desi) audience with Nokia, -transitioned into one of my favorite Bollywood tracks, -and closed with a song in my mother tongue, Telugu. Im always trying to grow as a dancer and explore what feels like my own style of fusion! Hope y’all enjoy! 💕 can’t wait to hopefully do more big things like this!! Choreography + song selection by: me :) Mix by: @sphmre Songs: The Kapi Dance- Mahesh Raghavan and Nandini Shankar Nokia- Drake Rani Intro song- Rocky or Rani! Naatu Naatu- RRR 🫶 #indianclassical #dance #abhinaya #telugusong #worldofdance
