The multi-talented Adrija Sinha, along with choreographer Akash Thapa, will leave everyone awed with their unique interpretation of the song 'Ae Mere Humsafar’, highlighting the beautiful bond between a pen and paper. Mesmerised by the act, Judge Malaika Arora said, “You are so special, you're magic, both of you. What a beautiful story, you have narrated it with so much clarity. I loved it. You have done it so artistically.”
Special guest Juhi Chawla, who was blown away by the act, said, “I am so happy today because once again, your performance was outstanding. Both of you are such good dancers. Your synchronization, your movements, dancing on a slope, I am sure it's not easy, and coordinating together on top of that was very, very good. Superb.”
Not only this, but Juhi Chawla will also take a walk down memory lane and talk about her love story with businessman Jay Mehta, sharing, “Before marriage, he used to write letters for me every day. After marriage, all of that stopped (laughs). Those days, we used to send letters and cards to each other which has now turned into emails and WhatsApp messages. Jay and I met at a dinner and then he started hovering around me. Once, on my birthday, he sent me a truck full of red roses. And, I took a year to say ‘YES’ to him.”
