Bollywood's dancing diva Madhuri Dixit Nene got emotional and broke down after seeing a performance revolving around Parkinson's disease on the sets of TV show "So You Think You Can Dance 'Ab India ki Baari'" here.

Contestants Shampa and Ryan moved everyone with their phenomenal act. The concept of the act was a love story of a girl who has Parkinson's disease and a boy. They showcased their journey beautifully, leaving everyone emotional.

"Shampa is really talented and the way she showed the effects of Parkinson held our attention. I feel in our society there are so many people who need support from their family who face Parkinson's. It was a very touching and an emotional performance," Madhuri said in a statement.

Madhuri, often called the 'Dhak Dhak Girl' of Bollywood, is a judge on the TV show, which is aired on &TV. Choreographers Terence Lewis and Bosco Martis are her fellow judges.
