In the video, while Shoaib is seen interacting with the fans, he turns the camera towards Dipika who looks very emotional. Praising her husband’s journey she says, “Thoda bura toh lagta hai (it does feel bad a little), it is human nature. After a journey of 17 weeks and all the hard work, coming so close, Shoaib was never at the bottom. He has evolved so much as a dancer, Farah Mam praising him is a big deal. Anyways, congratulations to Manisha and Ashutosh, when I was on Jhalak, Ashu was assisting Vaibhav and this is his first season as a main choreographer, so congratulations to him.”
