What she said was true or not is irrelevant. To me, saying all these things right before you are eliminated shows a lack of sportsmanship. She had a problem about her not being given rest, then she should've said so back when her problem started.
Also, the fact that she chose not to perform was not in the competition spirit. If you're going to be in a competition, fight till the end. Don't just give up. I guess she knew she wasn't gonna beat Rashmi, but what matters is trying. Giving it all you got to stay in the competition. I didn't understand what she meant by "if I was performing to stay for the finals, I would despite my pain. I didn't prepare anything for face-off and I won't dance with my pain just for a mere face-off." What was this all about? First of all, if you don't perform in the face-off, there won't BE a performance to stay in the competition and go into the finale, because you would be eliminated. So why in the world would you not prepare anything for it? Overconfidence that you won't be in the bottom? But even so, Madhuri kindly gave her the option to do her main performance in the face-off. But no! She won't do it unless it is a performance for the finals. I don't understand what she had wanted. To me, all it looked like was she knew she wasn't gonna beat Rashmi and she didn't want to perform and cause herself futile pain. Fair enough. But like I said earlier, accepting defeat before you are defeated is not in the competition spirit.
I just hated the whole tamasha. I have always loved Bharti and held huge amounts of respect for her. Always thought she was down-to-earth. What happened?...I do not know!
