KZN woman lives out her dream of dancing in the snow
Dancing in a saree at 2°C in the snow takes real dedication.
As much as the snow in KwaZulu-Natal brought some panic and mayhem on the roads of our beautiful province, it also brought with it some happy memories.
It fulfilled many people as they dreamed of seeing and experiencing snow and could finally do so without travelling abroad. Where many dream of a white Christmas, we got a white Spring.
One woman, who is passionate about her Indian 'Desi' heritage, shared that she was delighted to have been able to live out her Bollywood dream of dancing in the snow and wearing a saree.
Nikita Salik shared a video on social media of her dancing in the snow in Newcastle wearing a saree.
She sang along to a Bollywood song, swaying her arms and moving her body in delight. Her love for dance shone through as the cold (2°C) did not deter her from performing in the snow.
Watch her in the video from TikTok below.

Salik left many other Bollywood fans in awe as they watched her video and delightedly commented.
She is the classic example of celebrating your heritage despite your circumstances (a true testament to Heritage Day). We suppose you could say she was someone who saw the snowflake amidst all the cold.
