"Woh stree hai, woh kuch bhi kar sakti hai," Pankaj Tripathi's iconic dialogue from the film Stree struck this writer after she stumbled upon a video of hula-hoop dancer, flow artiste and movement therapy practitioner, Eshna Kutty. The Delhi-based hooper was clad in a saree, flowing through the hoop, twirling it beyond her waist, legs, arms, back, and even doing the iconic butt pass, to the beats of the Desi girl chant by Kumari Suraj. The video has raked in thousands of views.

"While I have hooped in a saree many times before, I had never recorded a video. For the longest time, the global hooping community assumed that India didn't have a hooping culture. When I shot the video and created the hashtag #sariflow, I wanted to highlight Indian hoopers," says Kutty. The hashtag kick-started an online revolution as women donned traditional handloom sarees from their geographies and recorded videos at home as they hooped to popular beats, tagging Kutty, who plans to continue putting out more #sariflow videos.
