There are favorites in any show and every show.... Lekin sides lene ki baat nahi hai, because they don't decide who wins!
Smriti said this yes, even I didn't like the indirect accusation.... But one thing we have to note is, they didn't point out Sharad... Clearly Smriti said people in backstage also have said to her that!
As for the comments again Ronit... Smriti and Ronit did say that the people who talked in th VT had spoken to them very nicely backstage and had praised his work... So not only him even when I heard it I thought how could any one be so rude on face commenting! I even felt this for Sharad, during his VT... So guess that doesn't account here at all!
As for on particular point here.... Smriti or Saakshi or Ravi as you said are not trained dancers and that's what gives them the full rights to comment on the dances in YHJ, because it is a public voted show... So obviously not everyone in public is going to know dance, not even ABC of it... So they are fresh eyes that trained eyes which are seeing the dances and clearly they can give good comments on it.... Because more than of technicality the spirit, the energy, the unity, and all is what is seen here....
Point to note I am saying nothing about Sharad here
