YES!

OMG! Was so scared thinking what if she falls!

Yes, I also felt if she be able to carry him. I am wondering what Cornell must be thinking. They did not show the close up and showed a long shot. Cornell must have kept his eyes open in case..

Hmm, well I guess it was more of willpower rather than strength, you know. Because I saw that she wasn't physically able to carry him anymore. She strained herself for the heck of the performance. So, I would say kudos to her will power.👏👏👏 Not undermining her strength though.

Yes, I was amazed too.. I had to blink my eyes to make sure it was Sonali carrying Cornell and not the other way - just in case if I was hallucinating!! And she carried him all the way up the stairs and I was worried for her!

Shakti did a similar lift of Amar in their Satrangi Re Paso Doble act, and though people said it was camera trick, it was pretty clear that Amar's was completely in the air and not touching the floor.. That was also very surprising to me as Shakti is so lean..

Yes, there are some techniques involved in all the lifts, and if not applied correctly it will exhaust the partner who does the lifts.. Terence always mentioned that to all the contestants in DID1 and DID2 when they did the lifts - that they should carry their own weight and not let the partner feel their weight..

With adrenaline rush people have done some very amazing things. This was perhaps one of the adrenaline rush to do the best.Definitely she deserves all the kudosClap

I think the act was too dangerous, also not good for her back.
The problem can come about later.
Hope she does not do it again.
Imagine going up the steps !😲

It is wonderful to watch the acts when they are done right. Things have gone pretty good so far and hoping for the best.

Agree, it can cause lot of back problems later. Looks like Geeta ma likes such difficult acts.

although sonali looks petite, dancers usuallyare strong, coz of all the strenous physical exercises they do.

while sonali is petite and short, cornell is also no bulky hulk like amar. so in a way it was nice
but the climbing up the stairs was surprising

Yeah, it quite surprising to see, but as others have mentioned, there is a way people can do the lifts to where they do not feel their partner's weight. If you lift their weight, then you will hurt your back and knee doing the lift! Especially when the person weights more than you.

It is dangerous for petite people to do that though too because if they mess up the technique, then they could damage their back!
