That was the only truly creative act of the episode and I can't believe ppl are jumping on it considering it an "insult" to God...truly this is how creativity is stifled by narrow-minded views of this sort that are prevalent in society.
Word. Reminds me of the big hoopla made after Vrushali and Jai's "hai rama" performance. No pun intended there, with the "hai rama". lol But really, after that performance also, people were going crazy ki OMG they showed kama sutra and all that nonsense. There is no appreciation for thinking outside of the box and showing creativity anymore. Sad that it's always Terence that is targeted here. An artist who's so genius to be able to think of such creative stuff. And Remo and Geeta...no matter how many amounts of cheap acts they've shown, are never criticized in this department.
It just baffles me that people are so easily offended with this kind of stuff, but lap up the misuse of religious aspects in daily soaps happily. Of course there the Gods aren't portrayed as doing hip-hop na? Only the lead heroines are japoing religious gyaan MEANINGLESSLY all the time. That's of course less offensive. Here, Terence actually portrayed depth and understanding to religious aspects and that's too much of an issue.
And it really is quite hilarious that the entertainment industry in India today uses all kinds of cheap antics in order to "entertain" and nobody is ever offended by that kind of mindless crap.
Terence has always been brave enough to take risks with his contestants and think outside the box. And that doesn't mean incorporate x,y,z type of stunts in his choreography. He's a true artist and his level of thought put into his choreography and his creativity is unmatched on this show. Geeta and Remo can't even compete. Sad that this kind of creativity and a genuine sense of art isn't appreciated these days. People only want the standard, mindless stuff.
Edited to add: And LOL it's hilarious too that Terence actually apologized for this very reaction. Man, is our Indian audience predictable or what?
