After a riveting rendition of “Zinda Banda” from the Shah Rukh Khan film “Jawan,” Shoaib performed “Badshah O Badshah,” which was based on SRK and Twinkle Khanna in the Abbas-Mustan film “Badshah” from 1999.
Adrija’s dance acts, choreographed to songs like “Chammak Challo,” “Nadiyo Paar,” and “Move Your Body,” won her hearts as well, if not enough to rank first.

“I owe it all to the love, support and encouragement of the judges and the audience,” she stated.
“I had no doubt that this encounter would transform my life, and it has. I had to prove myself twice as hard as usual because I was a wildcard entry, but every moment has been exciting and has helped me grow as a dancer.”
