Television actor Karanvir Bohra remembered Krishnan as the ‘original Kathak teachers’ and told Indian Express, “I think he was one of the last of his kind – the original Kathak teachers. We learned like four years of Kathak at a stretch with him. I would never forget. He would teach us not only about Kathak but the way of life and the way to deal with people in this industry.”
