@Akash:
I have implemented Demarau-Levenshtein algorithm but for the eg. I gave
above, it outputs 5 instead of 4. For some inputs it is giving the correct
output.
I think the demarau-levenshtein algo is just:

if(I>0 && J>0 && s1[I]==s2[J-1] && s1[I-1]==s2[J])
     table[i][j] =
min(min(table[i-1][j]+1,table[i][j-1]+1),min(table[i-1][j-1]+1,table[i-2][j-2]+1));
else
     table[i][j] =
min(min(table[i-1][j]+1,table[i][j-1]+1),table[i-1][j-1]+1);
