Aarti Kaushal Chopra

Founder and President

British-born, Indian-raised in America. A special education teacher and 32-year classical Indian dancer, Aarti grew up watching her mother and grandparents open their home to everyone. No strangers. Just family waiting to be found.

She founded Be Sanskriti Legacy to carry that spirit into the world, with a particular heart for those fighting ovarian and reproductive cancers silently and alone. Her 2024 show The Ancient Indian Goddess is becoming the first traditional Indian multicultural Broadway-level production created to raise awareness for social causes.

My grandparents had no strangers. Everyone who walked through the door became family over chai. That is the community I am building.
