Indian film actor Kamal Haasan’s younger daughter Akshara is the talk of the town. She is just 16 and has her eyes set on the Olympics already.
With dancing in her genes and a doting father, she’s just breezed through the first bronze test in ballroom latin conducted by the UK Alliance of Professional Teachers Of Dancing.
Ballroom Latin will be a competitive sport in the 2012 Olympics in London.
“I observe a lot. I try to get it right. I’ve been working hard,” said Akshara Haasan.

Akshara’s elder sister Shruti is already into music, and is firmly routing for her little sister.
“I see a lot of Kamal in her. He’s a great dancer himself and she’s very talented and is naturally gifted for dancing,” said Jeffrey Vardon, Director, Hot Shoe Dance Comp.
So as she does the Cha Cha and the Latin jive, Akshara knows she has to keep her feet firmly on the ground. To qualify for the Olympics she’s got 4 more levels to pass in the next 5 years.
