Originally posted by: ..Benaam.. I'm sick of the hoo-ha about Shveta being a trained dancer. First of all she is NOT a trained dancer and has not regularly danced at concerts and shows. Secondly, as someone said earlier, if Baby Spice can participate in Strictly Come Dancing (the show on which JDJ is based) even though she danced a lot during her Spice Girls career, wtf is wrong if Shveta is in JDJ when she has not even danced regularly?? It seems some people can't differentiate between a trained dancer and a born dancer - you can be naturally graceful without necessarily being trained in dance.
Secondly, I agree that the criticism of Shveta towards the last rounds was entirely orchestrated. Pooja Bedi is/was part of Mid-day as a columnist. No surprise to see numerous b1tchy articles about Shveta there. And articles about how poor Mona was without a choreographer for 2 days - oh no the world will come to an end 😉 Everything looked totally set to make Mona look like a hapless victim and underdog and Shveta look like an arrogant greedy trained dancer. An choreographer absent for 2 days is not a disaster for Mona who could afford to rehearse 8 hours a day for JDJ. It almost puts her on level pegging with Shveta who could only rehearse for 2 hours per day and that too late in the night due to busy shooting schedules.
And then they say that Mona was the underdog - HELLO wtf is that supposed to mean? Mona was never in the bottom three, not once was she in the danger zone. She was always safe thanks to Sony or Jassi or anything other than her dancing talent (or lack thereof). In a Jassi versus Shveta Salve contest, tell me who is the underdog?? If anything it was Shveta. She could compete and win based on dance, but she just could not compete against 'Jassi'.
Sorry just had to get all that out hehe 😊
OMG,why didnt you register earlier😭....We Shveta fans truly needed someone as vociferous and eloquent as you to do the defending when this forum was inundated with anti shveta posts...We a handful of SHveta fans were defending her day in and day out against the battalion of Mona fans, some who annihilated Shveta's character in the most ruthless manner,and came up with all ludicrous reasons to defend their stance as to why she should win....You were truly needed then😭..me,mermaid,Purva,dancingdoll,maya etc had a tough time,we needed more vocal people like you..welcome to the forum🤗🤗
Yes,Mona wasnt the underdog in any way,and that is precisely what I had mentioned in the "Mona's improvement overrated" thread,and everyone pounced on me....Mona was never the underdog when it came to the votes....She had sony,the jassi fans and the aam junta who know zilch about good dancing on her side....
Completely agree with what u have written here and I respect ur views but tell me one thing ,what is Mona's mistake in all this ,why is she been targetted . was she wrong in working hard and learning dance, was she wrong for the adulation she got as jassi, was she wrong in campaigning for votes using the jassi image esp when people still believe she is jassi and call her by that name . was she the one who wrote the mid-day article ,was she the one who posted those anti-svetha articles .do think abt it, wouldnt it be unfair to not acknowledge her victory mainly bcoz she wasnt responsible for any of the injustice to svetha . thats the point I am trying to get across,atleast acknowledge the winner bcoz she was not responsible for svetha's loss or her win . She did everything right to win ,she did her best and the rest was upto the junta .
No,nothing wrong on Mona's part per se(if we forget her using her jassi tag,when she actually wanted to get rid of it😉)....But her victory is half baked,she isnt the winner in all the senses,She officially won,but she wasnt the best dancer,and many other factors clinched her the trophy....The victory is consummate only and ONLY if she wins in every aspect,which isnt the case..Just like how we tend to sympathise with the cricket team when it loses due to factors like rain ,and when in actuality they would have won,had the rain not wrecked havoc...Draw the analogy😃....Not Mona's fault,its her fans' fault for voting for her on basis of personal favouritsim and other factors like sympathy and not to forget sony,but fairly or unfairly,ITS SHE WHO HAS TO BEAR THE BRUNT OF THIS BIAS OF SONY/HER FANS/JUNTA WHO VOTE FROM THEIR HEART...and this is what I precisely said earlier,that by making her win,her fans arent doing her any favour..If we strictly look from the money point of view,yeah,she won...But if we look at the "COMPLETE" victory,then no,she hasnt won😊..Just my PERSONAL opinion
cmon its been barely a week ,not even a week since she won , why wouldnt she celebrate her victory .As i said she did everything right to win ,if u feel anger it should be against the junta coz MONA had nothing to do with it. From her POV she tried her best ,learnt dance and performed and campaingned for votes , so why wouldnt she rejoice afterall she played by the rules and worked hard for it . Its not as if she cheated , she is not responsible if people still identify her as jassi, she herself has said that she wants to be known as Mona and thats exactly why she joined JDJ but she cant help it if people call her jassi even now and whats wrong in using that to her advantage . The truth is SHE wasnt responsible for svetha's loss and she did her best to win period. and pls ,why was the post written so rudely. I wasnt targetting you nor was i targetting svetha .I was simply putting forward the practical view and the facts .
chill,nothing is said to you alone..If you see,you arent the ONLY person participating in this thread
Secondly,nothing derogatory has been said about Mona per se....Her win isnt consummate,according to some people...and when such an article comes up,we do tend to get skeptical....and reiterating,Not Mona's fault,its her fans' fault for voting for her on basis of personal favouritsim and other factors like sympathy and not to forget sony,but fairly or unfairly,ITS SHE WHO HAS TO BEAR THE BRUNT OF THIS BIAS OF SONY/HER FANS/JUBNTA WHO VOTE FROM THEIR HEART..
We can holler till we go blue on our faces,but nothing can change the fact that SHveta was the better dancer,in all honesty she deserved to win,KEEPING ONLY THE DANCING IN MIND.....Mona might call JDJ not a fully dancing competition,but a one where celebrities are involved,but I wouldnt buy it...Yes,its a CELEBRITY dance competition,and the fact that these are CELEBRITIES ended when the competition ensued.....From then on,all were on the same pedestal,they all are celebrities in their own right,and thereby the fact that the show involves celebs ends at the point when they started JDJ....Thier choice for contestants was based on their celebrity status,but ever since they started dancing,ONLY dancing should have been the criterion,and not who is the bigger or most popular celebrity....
and tina,CHILL...Maturity lies in IGNORING posts that are aimed at instigating you,not retaliating thus providing the perfect free of cost tamaasha and entertainment😉...and even I should learn to follow this in future😆
