TOI:Royalty On The Sets Of DID

Maharaja of Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, Shri Pushpa Raj Singh and Maharani Raghini graced the sets of a dance rality show recently to support their daughter, Mohena Kumari Singh who has sealed her spot in the Top 11 contestants of the season.

Mohena who is already one of the Top contenders in the show and is performing exceedingly well was pleasantly surprised to have her parents on the sets watch her performance live!

A weepy and emotional Mohena said, "If not for my parents, I would not have been where I am. My mother has been my biggest support who fought all odds to fulfill my dreams of becoming an accomplished dancer. There has been a lot of opposition from my royal kith and kin who did not deem it fit for a girl from the royal household to pursue dance as a career. But my parents stood by my decision and gave me their whole hearted support. "

Maharaja Pushpa Raj Singh conceded to what Mohena said and commented, "Yes, there were oppositions but my family has a natural proclivity towards Art in every form. Mohena imbibed her dancing genes from her grandmother was an accomplished Kathak dancer. I have learnt the sitar for 18 years and it was my family who was responsible for bringing the legendary Tansen to Akbar's court. Hence, when Mohena expressed her desire to take up dance as a career, I was a little apprehensive in the beginning but then realized that you cannot ignore a flaming passion. Today, I am one of her biggest supporters."
