''............ a fiery & dynamic dancer.........."

"When her feet made music................As always, she imbues a magical, mesmerizing quality to a dance form in which she defies the barrier of gharanas with fluid ease........and finally as she made her ghunghuroos dance to the rhythm of thunderous applause, she ad Spicmacay had made a connection" (Nonika Singh, HT , CHANDIGARH)

" Dance all the Way .............It was a spiritual journey on the symbolic route of life, courtesy danseuse Shovana Narayan.........combined with the taal of the ghunghuroos which matched perfectly with expressions of turbulence of the soul on Shovana's face till her final journey to tranquillity that had a lasting impression on the minds of the viewers" ( The Times of India , Delhi)
