During the episode, Dharmesh opened up about his struggling days to Jaaved and Naved. "My father had set up a tea stall, but the business did not flourish much, due to which the family was in debt. At that time, I only knew dancing and nothing else. So I participated in ‘Boogie Woogie' and used the prize money - 5 lakh that helped my family repay debts. It was my first door to success," informed Yelande.
