Last but not the least, the Best 5 finalists also received the Patanjali Swadeshi Samridhi Card which is preloaded with INR 5,000.
Aptly titled as ‘Humari Choti Helen’ by Asha Bhosleji, Saumya gave it her best and presented some exceptionally jaw dropping belly dancing and freestyle dance acts along with her choreographer Vartika. While her father wanted her to become a doctor and mother an aspirant dancer, the elegant dancer meticulously balanced both their wishes without compromising on her skill. She was also coined as ‘India’s Best Daughter’ on the show by her father who was her constant support in her journey.
Saumya surely made a huge impact with her performances and redefined the Entertainment, Newness and Technique on the show.

I don’t know what the future holds, but dance will surely be an important part of it. I would like to thank all the judges Malaika ma’am, Terence Sir and Geeta Maa who have been a pillar of strength for all of us on the show with their kind words and constant motivation."
