Mohena Singh, princess of Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, has probably become the first contestant from a royal background to take part in any reality show on Indian Television. She has been successful over lakhs of other contenders and sealed her place in the TOP 36 of Zee TV’s Dance India Dance, Season 3.
She did a brilliant contemporary act on Jane tu mera kya hai from the movie Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na at the Mega auditions and bagged accolades in plenty from Grandmaster Mithun Da and all the three masters – Remo, Geeta & Terence. Mohena’s training in Bollywood routines, Hip Hop and contemporary dance forms helped her to secure a safe place on the most coveted platform for dance in the world.
During the city auditions, Mohena had shocked everyone by saying that her father, Pushpa Raj Singh is the Maharaja of Rewa, Madhya Pradesh which makes her a princess by default. Mithun Da was quite amused when he got to know that he will be judging a princess. Dada quipped, “Just in case we don’t select you in the Top 18, I hope your father will not reduce us into some squishy squashy pulp by subjecting us to the wrath of elephants. The DID stage is sacrosanct and does not discriminate between race, sex, creed, lineage or background. ”
Mohena could not stop smiling at Dada’s comment and replied, “Dada, this is the reason my family wanted me to participate in Dance India Dance and not any other show. I am a princess by birth but want to be an accomplished dancer by profession. I have learnt Kathak from my grandmother Rajmata Pravin Kumari Singh and have been a part of a dance company in Mumbai for the past 6 years. Even my mother, who stays with me in Mumbai is a Maharani but nothing in her behavior will suggest that she is a Queen.”
Master Terence like the other judges was very happy with her performance and said, “If you get through to the Top 18, I would love to have you in my team.”

Re: DRJ’s #6 -“6. How can parents irlafy evaluate whether their sons’ schools are teaching effectively? If the child does well, why rock the boat? If the child isn’t doing well, how can you tell if it’s because of the school as opposed to the child? “I don’t think that’s a question that needs to be answered. If your child isn’t doing well, does it really matter if the teacher is “doing everything right”? S/he is not getting through, things aren’t working, etc. As a parent your primary responsibility is to your child, not to your child’s school. It didn’t matter to my parents whether my teachers were doing the “right things” – I was six years old and getting headaches and stomach aches every day of the year, spending two or three hours a day in the nurse’s office. They switched me to a gifted program in 2nd grade and that stopped. Doesn’t mean that Stowers Elementary School was a den of evil, just that I needed something different.Re: vocational training -When I was in high school we moved to Ohio (my sisters and I were homeschooled) and most of my new friends weren’t college-bound, to say the least. The boy closest to me in age in my church group didn’t even take courses in a foreign language or math past Algebra II. But while I’m still getting through college stuff, about to go to law school, and will eventually graduate with well over $100,000 in educational debt, he’s been making over $50,000 a year since the age of 18, working as a stone mason. And if worse comes to worse, he’s got the skills necessary to take care of himself in any part of the world; he can even build a house for his family if he wants or needs to (my mother’s father did that – he built the houses my grandmother and my aunt live in today.) Which one of us is happier? I don’t think you can say; I’d go crazy working as a stone mason full-time, I think; I know he’d hate college. But I know which one of us has more security.Oh, and though it’s not school, per se, the boys in my Sunday School class (all age 7/8) do just as well, and often better than, the girls. I mostly reward right answers and following the few rules in the class, and give them time to move around. I’m not convinced that there’s a magic formula needed to get the majority of children on a path toward success. And the one kid I had problems with, has been switched to a different class and is doing much better (I’m in my 20’s and don’t quite have the “imposing authority figure” aura the other teacher does.) Oh, and my not very cooperative, bouncy, knock things over, “listen and look at me because I need attention” (!) kid was a girl.
