Nature is so unfair. Or else it would not move so much beauty and talent into one family. The beautiful dancing sisters Lalita and Padmini pair up for the dance sequence of today's pick. They tease the bride and groom at a wedding. A lovely light dance with perfect expressions and gestures by the sisters. Of course the two singing voices are absolutely cute too.
