The journey of dancing reality show "Dil Se Naachein Indiawaale" came to a happy end with the trio of Priyanka, Vipul and Gaurav emerging as the winners.
Along with the trophy, the winning group took away Rs.10 lakh and a Maruti Suzuki Alto K10. The prize money will be divided equally among the three group members.
Priyanka Mydeo and her group had to fight it out with top 10 finalists, which included six-year-old Mannat, Russian beauty Elena and Chandigarh-based Naveen Arya amongst others.
The Zee TV show, which went on air Oct 11 with an aim to find the happiest dancer -- one who dances from heart and not technique -- concluded after five weeks of entertainment Sunday.
