“For almost three months now, these talented kids have put their heart and soul in the performances. We have developed a bond with them and I am going to miss all this excitement after tonight. I wish them all the very best for a great life that they will make for themselves hence on,” Shilpa said in a statement. As astonishing as it may sound, the talented dancer — who is trained in hip-hop — runs her own institute where she teaches dance to children of her age.
