Dear all,
Today, I am leaving this forum, and many would be surprised hearing this, because it can be observed that I am a Karan fan... So he going through the finals should have meant I would participate in all "for-Karan" posts round here and then be all happy about his reaching the finals... In true words I am, but not because he actually made it, but because anything, and everything Karan does comes and comes back to his popularity...I am a fan from Mauritius, so obviously I cannot vote, I haven't voted once, nor requested any relatives of mine to vote for me, but I've watched this show thorughout, each and every episode... But I don't think I've ever been as nostalgic as I've been today... Yes I am writing for Karan in this post, and yes those who aren't interested, please don't read further...
A lot of things have been said about him, on the show, on the forum, everywhere... I don't deny all of it is wrong, but I can't accept all of it is right either... When the guy signed that contract, I am sure he didn't once expect what he would have to face in this particular episode of JDJ, the humiliation or should I called it degradation he would have to face in this episode, or I can bet anything he would not have accepted it... Its fair saying someone else deserved the title, but is it fair bashing Karan for what the others don't have?? Popularity: from which angle is that his mistake? The two times I saw parts where they showed him while VM and SK were talking at the end, all I felt is that was his biggest curse, and looking at him, that was exactly how he felt too am sure... Many claim that if he was so modest and not proud of it, he should have left the show!! Easier said than done, there is a certain contract of the show and way things are done, they didn't let Ram back out when he wanted to against GK, nor did they let bring back HK today even though according to me she is THE best dancer on the show... So... I just ask one question, would any of you have backed off had you been in his place?? I guess no, but then again, if you don't have enough humility of hating the game rather than the player...nor would you have enough humility to accept that bit....
Today I had tears, watching both HK leave, and Karan being devasted, because I really like both of them... And whatever someone thinks, I really mean when I say that on a purely dance basis, I would have loved HK to win, had it of course been a 100% judge decision... Did contestants not know that when they signed? That they would have to rely on audience's votes as well? They did, and they seem to accept it, yet some people can't... For me, the show didn't unite us all as I expected when I first joined this forum, but devided us all, into Karan- and non-karan fans... In yesterday's epi and today, I saw how HK and Karan were friends, and how each contestant there accepts it is NOT his mistake he is so popular and gets so many votes... Yet we don't want to accept that... I have a friend who went to the sets today, thanks to her for whatever she told us, and let us know what happened behind the scenes, how judges were being harsh to him, most of it cut obviously in today's episode, yet, yet he said not a single word... That made me ponder that are we really blaming who we need too? We may bash a whole lot of people here, yet will it stop fans over India voting for him? And will he ever be redeemed of what he had to suffer as a mere human being from those comments throughout?? I guess his AV with his wife gave me the right answer: No!... Yet I still feel, people will forget, we as fans will forget, but he as a victim won't, because one never does....
I feel I can't say more than this... You all may reply, but I won't reply to a single post, not because I don't have any "VALID" reason for supporting Karan, but I feel that by discussing his integrity and modesty with other fans, I wouldn't want to degrade him more than some already have, on the show, or on the forum... We all claim no one is perfect, yet we always look for flaws to discuss in someone... Not the qualities, or let me put it, never the qualities... So you are free to start the discussion... Because I don't have anything left to discuss... Really sad about HK leaving today, and about Karan making through the finale, I have exactly his present sentiments... Thrilled, yet devasted... Hope he comes out of it someday, atleast I am glad he has fans who'll make him come out of it, and I feel proud to be called one of them!!!...
Great knowing many of you here,
And wishing all the contestants good luck for the finale,

EDIT : One more thing that struck me was, neither was SK surprised when she announced the 2nd finalist, nor were any of the other judges!! If my eyes are correct they were clapping hands, SK hugged him happily right??... Should they have been angry, or surprised, they should have been soo from the moment SK read that chit right?? Unless it was all preplanned... Am starting to doubt how much actually is true in these reality shows... Just a mere observation of my part!!...
