Mink-Ada in conversation...

The most controversial jodi of COLORS' Dancing Queen chats about what went wrong and why they got eliminated…
 
What according to you was the reason for elimination?
Mink: I had a big fight with Ada during the time of elimination, and today because of me we are out of the show. However, I'm very happy with the decision as it was difficult to work with that psycho person.
 
Ada: Honestly speaking it was a sad day for me. All I would say is that it's due to my mentor that I'm out of the show and lost such a good opportunity.
 
What do you have to say about the controversies that happened during the shoot?
Mink: I did not want controversies; it was Ada who needed that for publicity. I taught her to be a cool girl. I did not want people to think that she has attitude, but in reply she told me that I'm established and so what is wrong in having attitude. She wanted controversies since long, and also planned that I will cry or do this or that. I always told her let's prove our talent with dance than such things.
 
Ada: Mink is here in this industry from 10 to 12 years, so you can better know who she is is and the manner in which she is known to creating controversies. I have never showed any attitude. Whenever we used to rehearse or go on the sets for shoot, she always dictated her terms. She never appreciated my suggestions due to which we are out today. Just because she is in a powerful position does not mean she can do anything. Who fainted on the sets, we all know that.
 
Was that faint real or again to gain attention?
Mink: I always had a problem in my back and neck, and on top of that Ada's tantrums made me go mad. I was really very much pressurized which resulted in me fainting during the shoot. It was not a spoof or something. Ada was very much frustrated and she was and is trying to spoil my image as we are out. I don't need to do any such thing as I'm already established and have projects in hand.
 
Ada: I never told anything bad about her and why should I do such a thing for attention? It was Mink who was insecure after the comments that judges made, that I'm a better dancer than her and she needed to buck up. Mink told me that I don't know Western dance but the fact was that she doesn't know any form of dance other than latka jhatkas, so we all know who needed the attention.
 
What was the basic problem between you two?
Mink: I never had a problem with Ada, but she had a problem with our choreographer. She never wanted that person to teach any more dancing steps and told the production house, but when she had no choice the psycho turned the blame on me. She lied and pretended that it was me who never wanted to work with the choreographer.
 
Ada: It was Mink who had a problem with the dancer. She even changed the choreographer and that is only in the hands of the mentor. She directly threw the tantrum that if the chorographer is not changed, she will not do the show. I had to take help of the production in this matter.
 
Mink's brother was blamed for misbehaving with Ada?
Mink: My brother never misbehaved with her. These allegations are wrong, it's all for one thing and that's publicity. He used to come on the sets to be with me as I was not well. After fainting on the sets, I had to take my brother along with me. She always called him bhaiya and now in a month she developed problems with my bro. It was Ada who always used to bring her whole family on the sets and during the rehearsal, but I never said anything. Who is she to say anything about my brother??
 
Ada: I called Mink's brother as bhaiya as he was elder to me and I respected him, but suddenly he started behaving weirdly and used to talk rubbish. This was the reason I had to bring my mother or brother on the sets and during the rehearsals. Who is she to stop them as during the shoot parents are allowed to sit??
 
So what's next with you two?
Mink: I am doing two movies down the South and am rxcited happy about it.
 
Ada: Well as I'm from theatre, so will continue with it. I also have an offer for a comedy show, but nothing is finalized.
