Bhutia along with his choreographer Sonia picked up Rs 40 lakh in winner's prize purse.

"Winning the contest was nice. I am very happy about it, but no more dancing for me," Bhutia told PTI. "I am not a dancer and I am happy it is over," said the India football team skipper.

Bhutia and Sonia will share Rs 20 lakh each and the skipper has already pledged Rs 1.5 lakh to the West Bengal Chief Minister's Relief Fund for those affected in the recent cyclone.

Indian football's most bankable star feels dancing helps a lot in the game.

"Dancing is a lot about co-ordination and it helps in playing football. But I don't have any regret that I didn't take it up earlier," said the Padma Shree winner.
