Jassi wins Jhalak... title

May the best dancer win? Well, Mona Singh's popularity seems to have had the edge over Shveta Salve's talent

Subhash K Jha

It's final. The first winner of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa is Mona 'Jassi' Singh. This puts an and to the suspenseful contest between the two finalists Mona Singh and Shveta Salve and their respective choreographers, Toby and Longi.

While Mona was over the moon minutes after the SMS votes from audiences declared her winner, Shveta, considered a far more superior dancer by most and declared the best dancer since Madhuri Dixit by judge Sanjay Leela Bhansali, lost by a narrow margin.

Hours before the verdict Shveta had said, "I've done my best. Even if Mona wins I'd be equally happy. I'm having a party for family and friends regardless of whether I finally win or not. I've enjoyed every second of this contest, although I must admit some comments by fellow-contestants did affect me personally and also affected my chances adversely."

Mona on the other hand is ecstatic about the open support provided to her by the contestants. "I'm referring especially to Pooja Bedi who went out of her way to express her support for me. It was very, very sweet of her. Considering I was no dancer to begin with, I think this whole experience has changed my life . Yeah, I'm over the moon," said Mona.

Hey Mona You rock!!! My support is always with you Naiya.

mona is disillusioned.....pooja didnt support her, she was mudslnging shveta!

I agree I think Mona is out to lunch. I hope she doesn't start thinking that she can really dance and open up dance school. 😉

I am sorry but Pooja bedi looks like a man with makeup.

Pooja Bedi was at her worst. There is no excuse for that kind of mudslinging. Sheer jealousy!

I think it was a nice gesture of pooja for saying favorite...she has every right to express who she likes the most (like she said, everyone does have a favorite)

but, I am going to agree with some of you a little here, it seemed a little anti-shveta at parts (esp when she mentioned "non-dancer")

whatever, to each their own

Thanks a lot for the article.We are with you Shveta and God is with you.I am a big fan you and I feel proud for it.

Hey Mona aka Jassi 😳You rock!!! My support is always with you even tough I live in USA😃

with lots n lots of love from your,

FAN # 1 Jasneeta😳
