Nach Baliye 9: Urvashi Dholakia Berates The Show; Calls it A 'Popularity Contest'!

Much coveted celeb dance reality show Nach Baliye is currently in it’s 9th season and is getting more and more interesting with every episode. Power-packed performances by jodis, entertainful hosting by Maniesh-Waluscha and tough judgements by judges Raveena and Ahmed make the show favorite amongst viewers. 

Last week, ex-flames Urvashi Dholakia and Anuj Sachdeva got eliminated from the show. The couple had constantly been in the bottom two for four weeks, and finally got eliminated last week. However, this hasn’t gone down too well with her. In a recent media interaction, she spoke about the unfair decision of makers and partiality in the competition. 

While talking to Bombay Times, Urvashi revealed, “I have loved performing on that stage. I have learnt a lot and I’m happy to have stretched myself beyond my own boundaries to perform. I didn’t know that I was capable of pulling off what I did each week, and that too performing with your ex, which has complexities of its own. I don’t regret being a part of the show, but what's deplorable is the way the show has been formatted, without any clarity in voting, with partiality towards certain couples and without giving everyone a fair stage".

She also mentioned, "Well, if a couple has been scoring good marks, which is only increasing every week and there’s a certain vote bank that I know we have, then it’s difficult for me to believe that we were not able to win the love of our viewers. How can a couple be consistently moving up the scoreboard and yet be at the bottom four times in a row? Is this a dance show or a popularity contest?”

She added that because Anuj and she couldn’t fight and bicker on screen, they agreed to do the show thinking it’s a dance show and not a “bloody fighting ring!”

Well, what do you think about Urvashi and Anuj’s elimination? Let us know in the comment section below.
