Rupsa's guru Nishant is all praises for Rupsa and calls her a gifted child and extremely hardworking. "I still remember, when I was paired with Rupsa, I was perplexed. She is only 6 years old. So it proved to be a learning ground for me from becoming friends with her to identifying her strengths as a dancer, to working according to her moods, to building that chemistry together and many other things. It took time, but I am glad we could establish a bond. She doesn’t speak much, but her dancing does all the talking. She is a gifted child and extremely hardworking. I wish her the best in all that the future holds for her!"
Judges Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Geeta Kapur and Anurag Basu were also in awe of the little wonder.
