Bad Interpretor

I have installed cygwin in my windows machine. when i ran the sample script it was throwing the following error.
bash: sample.sh: /usr/bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory Till yesterday it was working fine. I dont know all of a sudden what happend.
i used to run my script by simply typing the script name. Now it is working only if I type sh <script name>. What went wrong? i have added C:\cygwin\bin to path variable.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

sample.sh

#!/usr/bin/bash
echo "Hello world'


output of which bash: /bin/bash

NAME
shells - shell database SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser- shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root. A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored. The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh. Note that /etc/shells overrides the default list. Invalid shells in /etc/shells may cause unexpected behavior (such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1)). FILES
