Dr Punam Krishan and her partner Gorka
A Scottish Indian doctor and author who is competing in one of the UK's most popular television dance competitions has made history by performing the first-ever Bollywood number in the show's 20-year history.
Dr Punam Krishan, a Glasgow-born Punjabi, danced to âBole Chudiyan' from the 2001 film âKabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' as the first Indian film sequence on BBC's âStrictly 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.
