Hockey World Cup 2018 Opening Ceremony held in Bhubaneswar, Odisha has left the nation surprised for its magnanimous setup and performance line-up recently. Madhuri Dixit Nene, who was a part of the bandwagon, took the audience by surprise after she performed a graceful dance along with 1000 other artists in sync.
Elated by the entire episode, Madhuri said, `It was a dance drama act around a special number, The Earth Song specially created for this occasion. I've never performed as Mother Earth before. It's a powerful character and I particularly identified with its theme of oneness and its universal appeal. It's about breaking barriers, embracing diversity and respecting our environment. To bring to life a powerful character such as this, in front of a live audience was challenging, yet exhilarating experience. And the larger-than-life dramatic costume gave it a colorful twist.`
The actress went on to add, `I feel sports should be not just a part of one's life, but also a way of life. Over the past few years, I feel India has grown prominently in the field of sports, and not just in men's cricket. Hockey is our National sport and India hosting the World Cup speaks volume by itself; this goes to show that steps are being taken to improve the sport.`
