From getting selected for the reality show ‘Super Dancer’ to entering top-12 and garnering praises from choreographers Remo D’Souza, Geeta, and director Anurag Basu, Jalandhar’s Sanchit Chanana can now soak in the meaning of being on top of the world.

While the 10-year-old, accompanied by his father, is busy impressing big celebrities with his dance moves as he shoots for the reality show in Daman and Diu, his mother, a government schoolteacher is in Jalandhar, taking care of her younger child and managing work, apart from wishing for her son’s victory and success.

Neetu Bala, the mother, said one of the proudest moments for her is when people recognize her as Sanchit’s mother. “There is nothing better than being recognised by your child’s name. It wasn’t easy to take this decision of letting him go during these tough times, but his talent is also something we couldn’t compromise on.” As mothers are, she never forgets to ask about his health.

Sanchit is a Class V student studying at Mayor World School and is equally killing it academically. Apart from his brewing love for dance, he is also a cricket buff. Neetu shares that before becoming part of ‘Super Dancer’, Sanchit had never been away from her even for a single day. “But for his growth it was important,” she added.

Father Sunil Kumar, a university lecturer, too, was into dancing and used to follow Michael Jackson. “I have always believed that one has to be perfect and serious when one gets on stage,” he told.

Sharing future plans, Sunil wants Sanchit to perform at internationally. “Bollywood is not my motive, but making him an international dancer is what my dream is.”
