Cricketer Harbhajan Singh and TV actress Mona Singh's consistent and powerpact performance in the grand finale of the dance reality show 'Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena' helped them bag the award for the best dancers on the show.
The duo danced on the popular, fast and catchy number 'Nagaada nagaada baja' from the hit film 'Jab We Met'. The Sikh background gave them an edge over the other which left the judges - cricketer Wasim Akram and actress Sushmita Sen - spellbound.
Harbhajan and Mona were competing against S. Sreesanth-Surveen and Nigaar-Dinesh. in the final.The winning couple was awarded a trophy and a cheque of Rs.2,500,000.
Harbhajan and Mona's stint on the five-week long show wasn't free of controversy. In one of the episodes, Harbhajan danced in the role of demon-king Ravan and Mona danced with him as Devi Sita. Many Hindu organizations had objected to the dance, saying Ravan could not be shown dancing with Sita. The Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhs in Amritsar, had also objected to Harbhajan hurting sentiments of Hindus and even Sikhs.
The two had apologised for the act and sailed through till the end to win the show.
