Our nuclear programmes are completely transparent. But we are ready to show greater transparency and make clear for the whole world that the steps of the Islamic Republic of Iran are completely within international frameworks. The sanctions are unfair, the Iranian people are suffering, and our (nuclear) activities are legal. These sanctions are illegal and only benefit Israel.

Padma Khanna: From Bollywood dancer to classical dance guru

Padma Khanna, a popular name in Hindi and Bhojpuri films in the 1970s, who currently resides in New Jersey and runs the Indianica Dance Academy, says she never really gave up acting. And she says she still gets offers from Mumbai and is ready to return to celluloid if given a "very special role".

Still remembered for her dance in the song "Husn ke lakhon rang", the actress took life the way it came. "I never really gave it up; however, life brought me to a precipice. I was at a point in life where I had a choice and chose to start anew - to share the art and culture that drives me till this day."

At the young age of 7, she started learning Kathak from Guru Kishen Maharaj of Varanasi. At the age of 12, she started performing on stage to the accompaniment of tabla wizard Pundit Shamta Prasad. She learnt advanced Kathak from Gopi Krishna.

Currently, she is busy with the upcoming 17th annual cultural show of her academy - Chamakte Sitare 2013 - which will be held June 22 at Plainfield High School, New Jersey.

She debuted as an actress in the 1961 Bhojpuri film "Bhaiyya" at the age of 12. Her big break came in 1970 when she played a cabaret dancer in "Johnny Mera Naam". She acted in more than 400 movies of all Indian languages, among them "Saaz Aur Awaaz", "Biwi Aur Makaan", "Baharon Ke Sapne", "Sangharsh", "Dastaan", "Hindustan Ki Kasam", "Rampur Ka Lakshman" and "Saudagar". ...
