Mid-D Article: A birthday gift for Shveta

A birthday gift for Shveta

We saw her dance her heart out and were disappointed when apli Mumbaichi mulgi, Shveta Salve, was a runner-up in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. We know how hard Shveta had worked at her dance. And we think she deserves a break. That's why, on behalf of Mumbai and all her fans, MiDDAY has decided to send her for an all-expense paid trip to Singapore.
For four days from next Monday to Thursday, Shveta will tour the Lion City getting a respite from the grueling rehearsals, the stressed finale et al. She hasn't even had time to celebrate her birthday on November 12.
"Oh, I am so excited," gushes Shveta, when we inform her about her special gift. "The last few months have been tough, emotionally and physically. I just need to relax, maybe go to a spa or indulge in some retail therapy. I am really looking forward to a short break," she says.
And MiDDAY will be making sure of it. Apart from soothing her tired self, we will make sure that she also gets to see Singapore and try the local cuisine. "I have been there only once and that too on a tight schedule. But this time, I will make sure I take in all the sights," she says. In fact, Shveta has promised to come back and write all about her experiences in Singapore. She is an amateur photographer (bet you didn't know that!) and hopes to practise her hobby during this trip.
Her fianc Rodney Barnes, who has been supportive of her throughout the show, will accompany Shveta on her holiday. "This is the best birthday gift I've ever got. I'll come back and tell you all about it," she promises. We shall hold you to it, Shveta. Have a great trip!
