Dr Punam Krishan, a Glasgow-born Punjabi, danced to ‘Bole Chudiyan’ from the 2001 film ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ as the first Indian film sequence on BBC’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The general practitioner (GP) in her 40s was tearful as she reflected on her parents’ journey with nothing from Punjab to make a life in Scotland.
“It meant everything,” a tearful Krishan told the host after her high-scoring performance.
She dedicated the dance to her grandfather who died during the COVID-19 pandemic.
