These performances, along with the entertaining presence of celebrity guests, made for a truly memorable episode.
One of the most captivating moments was Saumya Kamble’s mesmerizing tribute to Madhuri Dixit. Her performance captivated the audience and left a lasting impression. But what caught everyone’s attention was knowing Team Owner Malaika Arora’s love for the evergreen Madhuri Dixit. Malaika praised Saumya and expressed her love for Madhuri since childhood saying, “Proud mother, proud team owner! Whenever this girl steps onto the stage, she draws you in and captivates you. You can shower Saumya with praises, but she stays calm and humble, and that will take you far in life. You’re my absolute favourite! Today you are performing on the songs of my favourite artist. There is no one who isn’t a Madhuri Dixit fan. We have grown up watching her, imitating her. I still remember performing her steps in front of the mirror. I would never miss that opportunity. I used to cut my hair like her, used to copy her steps and expressions. This is for all of us MD fans.”
Moreover, after the performance, Nora Fatehi sets the stage on fire and dances with Saumya on Dilbar.
Catch all the drama, emotion, and electrifying talent every weekend at 7 PM on India’s Best Dancer vs. Super Dancer: Champions Ka Tashan, only on Sony Entertainment Television.
