Polo Grounds at Secunderabad reverberated with energizing music as the noted fitness trainer took the stage along with over 700 volunteers who joined her to take part in her quest to set the world record.
The Polo Grounds resonated with the applause and encouragement of army officers, participants and audience, who turned up in large numbers.
Several of them waved the tricolour proudly. Dinaz was the cynosure of all eyes as her nimble footedness, in sync with the music, drew applause.
