I think you may have missed the point some people were trying to make. No one was trying to say that you should not criticize Urvashi or single her out at all. Many people do agree that she has unfairly survived while other much better dancers have been eliminated.
What people had an objection to is targeting her over her connections to Jai. Jai is honestly not that connected to influence the stay of his friends/students on the show. Moreover, other contestants/affiliates have had their students on the show. Most importantly no one has any clue on the logic utilized by makers of DID. Who they select, who they keep, who they eliminate is a mystery. Feel free to criticize and point out anyone who is undeserving to be there, but do it strictly on the basis of what we see on screen. It is Ok to bring in connections/relationships etc in humor ' but when you fixate on it, it becomes unfair and gossipy. Bottom line is, no one has a problem with criticizing or targeting Urvashi ' just do it on the right and fair basis.
The other point of contention some people might have is the insinuation of a relationship between Jai and Urvashi based on his FB messages. "I Love you, I'm proud of you" are words of endearment and affection. Some people never say such things unless they are really close to someone. But many people express such things frequently to close friends and people they care for and it carries no romantic weight. A good rule of thumb is always to try and avoid discussing social media or external media in general unless the main focus is actually the dance, the show and the content.
I know that, and I got that...but that is not even what my overall topic is about, I just wanted to widen the reasons why someone survives in DID, and it's a known fact connections play one of the biggest roles in it. I had taken Urvashi as an overall example so I decided to merely mention her connections with DID contestants, and the fact that she has connections with previous DID student(s) is not a co-incidence, I'm sure it plays some part in her being in DID, no matter how small.
But when did I ever criticize her based on her personal life?? Did I ever say she's a bad performer because Jai doesn't give bring her flowers everyday? 😕 It was only few days ago that I came to know she's connected to him, I have been criticizing her since the beginning.
Yes, if you read my messages properly I NEVER said Urvashi is Jai's girlfriend because Jai posts those statuses, I only mentioned it for the general knowledge of people because someone earlier had said "they don't believe Urvashi is connected to Jai". And his statuses proves that she is. 😆
