Rupsa's mentor, Nishant Bhatt said, "I still remember when I was paired with Rupsa, I was perplexed. She is only 6 years old. So it proved to be a learning ground for me - from becoming friends with her to identifying her strengths as a dancer to working according to her moods, to building that chemistry together and many other things. It took time, but I am glad we could establish a bond. She doesn’t speak much, but her dancing does all the talking. She is a gifted child and extremely hardworking. I wish her the best in all that the future holds for her!".

Show's judge Shilpa Shetty Kundra was elated after Rupsa's victory. She said, "She deserves this victory. The way she performed week after week was really incredible. I am blessed that as judges, we could become a catalyst in her journey."

Geeta Kapoor said, "I am the happiest right now as her journey and her hard work has paid off. I just want her to be happy and continue what she is doing right now as she is too small to be pushed at something specific. She needs to enjoy what she is doing."
