Shivanshu Soni’s melodic symphony of movements on the song 'Binte Dil', from the movie 'Padmavat' simply left the judges mesmerized. And in order to show their heartfelt appreciation towards Shivanshu Soni’s impressive dance, the judges gave him a well-deserved standing ovation. Speaking about Shivanshu Soni, judge Terence Lewis will go on to say, “Shivanshu has a brief backstory. A while back, I had discovered him on Instagram and texted him, saying, "I want to learn dance from you. After that, we collaborated together to create a few Instagram reels. I must also mention what a performer he is. I can't wait to see every one of your acts this season.”

On his part, Shivanshu Soni said, “Dance is life for me, but no one from my family is in the artistic field. My mother is a politician, my sister is a lawyer and my brother is an entrepreneur. So, my mother had noticed that I had an inclination towards dance and loved it. Even though it’s different field, my mother was always supportive towards my dance and she used to always take me for various auditions and workshops. They always pushed me to pursue my passion, saying whatever you are doing you are best at it. Today as I am standing here I feel extremely grateful and blessed to perform in front of such eminent judges, and I hope they love my dance.”

The USP of Shivanshu Soni’s performance was an impromptu dancing collaboration on the stage between Shivanshu Soni and Terence Lewis. This request was made by the show’s other judge Geeta Kapoor, who is also fondly called as Geetamaa. 'India's Best Dancer Season 3' premieres on Sony Entertainment Television tonight at 8 pm.
