On Sunday Ajay Singh, also known as Tiger Pop, took home the trophy for Best Dancer from India. The young man from Gurugram also received a cash award of Rs 15 lakh and a stylish Maruti car. His choreographer Vartika Jha also received a check for Rs 5 lakh.
Tiger Pop shared that he wasn’t sure he would win as he was up against strong dancers like Mukul Gain, Shweta Warrier, Paramdeep Singh, and Shubranil Paul. However, since he was receiving so much love from fans, he had high hopes.
In an exclusive chat with indianexpress.com, the winner said: “Everyone who came to the show was always very nice to me. Thus, he knew that he would also receive the same amount of love from the audience. I wasn’t really sure, but somewhere I had a feeling that I could be the winner. “
Sharing that he considered Mukul Gain a tough competition, Tiger Pop shared that he was praying a lot and had his eyes closed when the announcement was about to happen. “After coming this far, I didn’t want to lose. I was praying a lot because I didn’t want my mother to go back to her hard life. When my name was announced, I couldn’t contain my happiness. I was over the moon. Now I’m just looking forward to coming home and celebrating with my family and friends, ”shared Tiger Pop.
The young dancer revealed that he has been receiving messages on social media about how his dancing shows his love for the trade. He also shared that many people connected with him, given his identifiable personality.
When asked what his favorite performance was, the champion said: “There were quite a few. The one where I acted as Rajesh and then the ‘soul swapping’ act are my favorites. Other than that, every time I performed for the judges, it gave me a different kind of satisfaction. “
