Jiya was rewarded with a prize money of 5 lakh, apart from a trophy. Hailing from Hyderabad, Jiya thanked everyone on sets for offering her a great learning experience. “DID Li’l Masters has been a great learning experience for me. It was my moment of pride when skipper Vaishnavi took me under her wings and made me a part of Vaishnavi ke Veere. During the course of the show, I have learned so much about dance and myself. One of the best moments of my life was when the dancing diva Madhuri Dixit called me ‘Choti Madhuri’. She even appreciated my performance and gave me her blessings,” the Indian Express quoted her as saying after winning the trophy.
