Talking about her mother who has always supported her, Saumya Kamble shared, “I am here because of my mother’s hard work and support, it has kept me going. It was her dream to participate in a dance reality show but she could not. She has stayed awake stitching costumes for me and nobody knows about this struggle. That is why I always wanted to work hard because I wanted to make her proud. Before our performances, she would give suggestions to us and she has been more excited on the show so I have in a way fulfilled her dream because she wanted me to win this trophy.”
Further talking about her dream collaboration, the dancer adds, “I would like to either dance or choreograph with Nora ma’am (Fatehi). That is something I would definitely want to do.”
