Super Dancer Chapter 5: Shanky Turns Emotion into Power, His Ailing Mother Joins via Video Call

The latest season of Super Dancer Chapter 5 is not just a celebration of talent and passion-it's also a heartfelt tribute to the real superheroes behind every contestant: their mothers. In the upcoming episodes, mothers of all the contestants will also be seen performing alongside their children. However, for contestant Shankal Gupta, lovingly known as Shanky, the moment was bittersweet. His mother, due to health issues, couldn't be physically present on the set-a fact that left both her and Shanky emotional.

Despite her absence, the team ensured that Shanky didn't feel alone. His mother joined him via a live video call to cheer him on and send her blessings. Shanky's father also performed with him. Fighting back tears, Shanky turned his emotional vulnerability into strength and delivered a power-packed performance that moved everyone on set.

Watching them perform via video call, Shanky's mother Seema said, "I'm happy that Shanky's father is performing in my place. All the mothers are performing, only I am not there with Shanky. I am feeling very upset. I wish I could have been there." Judge Geeta Kapur reassured her with a heartfelt message: "You are very much here with us. We all are praying for your speedy recovery so you can soon join us on the show."

The judges, including Geeta Kapur, Shilpa Shetty, and Marzi Pestonji, lauded Shanky's brilliant performance. The performance not only highlighted Shanky's dance prowess but also reminded everyone of the unbreakable bond between a mother and child.

Watch this emotional and unforgettable act on Super Dancer Chapter 5, this Saturday-Sunday at 8 PM on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV.
