Known as the popping king of the show Dance Plus 4, 18-year-old Chetan Salunkhe is over the moon after being declared winner of the show. Apart from the winner’s trophy, Chetan took home prize money of Rs 25 lakh.
Chetan is flooded with congratulatory messages from all quarters. However, the win came after years of struggle, hard work and sacrifices.
