The dance-off ended with Abhira winning, securing the spot to perform alongside her daughter. Armaan later joined them for the final performance, turning it into a family act.The performance itself was beautiful but the real twist came right after. As the trio took their final pose, a bulb hanging above them suddenly burst. Before it could harm them, Abhira quickly pushed Armaan out of the way and held Maira close.

The moment was enough to make Abhira forget her injury. Watching from backstage, Geetanjali’s expression turned from shock to clear disappointment.The competition ended with Maira and Abhira being declared as the winners.
