But the journey was a lot of fun and I got to learn a lot from Rupesh bhai. After it became a duo show we got to perform together. Just before the winner was announced, I was very quiet and nervous while the others were relaxed. They were even joking about how tense I was, but all that I could think about at that point was to win the show. When they announced my name as the winner, I couldnt believe it; I was too stunned to react initially. But I cried and screamed in happiness. It was such a great feeling to hold that trophy.

I couldnt even pay for my dance classes, so my sir used to train me for free. He has been teaching me since the past 12 years and has even helped me many times by giving me money for shoes and travel. He has been my biggest support..
