You look anywhere and there’s a historical significance, a lesson that makes us who we are, as a Delhiite… and as an artist, I think that really resonates with the stories I hear. Adding a real site brings out the best in me. From my father.
Arora also revealed her keenness to explore places like Ghalib Ki Haveli, which have rich historical narratives, adding, “Anywhere you look and there is a historical significance, a lesson that makes us who we are.” , As a Delhiite… and as an artist, I think connecting the stories I heard from my father while growing up with the real site really brings out the best in me. Even now my father used to go to Red Fort for sightseeing and it is his favorite place. Having grown up here, I understand how heritage sites should be valued.
