/> It's final. The first winner of the avidly-watched Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa contest is Mona 'Jassi' Singh, thereby putting an and to the suspenseful contest between the two finalists Mona Singh and Shveta Salve and their respective choreographers,Tobey and Longi.

While Mona was over the moon minutes after the SMS votes from readers declared her winner, Shveta, considered a far more superior dancer by most and declared the best dancer since Madhuri Dixit by judge Sanjay Leela Bhansali, lost by a narrow margin.

Hours before the verdict Shveta had said, "I've done my best. Even if Mona wins I'd be equally happy. I'm having a party for family and friends regardless of whether I finally win or not.

I've enjoyed every second of this contest, although I must admit some comments by fellow-contestants did affect me personally and also affected my chances adverserly."

Mona on the other hand is ecstatic about the open support provided by the contestants.. "Specially Pooja Bedi who went out of the way to express her support for me. It was very very very sweet of her. Considering I was no dancer to begin with I think this whole experience has changed my life. Yeah, I'm over the moon," said Mona.
