Let's see, did she ask to be back? Did she put on a drama act when she was eliminated? In fact, I think she left very gracefully and chuked up her elimination to bad luck in her post interviews. Has she EVER played unfair while on the show? Did she exaggerate any type of injury? So I really fail to understand not only the three contestants behavior but their fans reactions. I guess fans always be blind or bias towards their favorites and that is simply a fact.

Precisely yaar. Yes it is not fair that all the other participants were not called for wildcard. But did Prachi make the decision of having only sudha and her in the wildcard? Wasnt it Sony that made the decision? How come Sony is not blamed and Prachi is? And you think it is really fair for three participants to show cold shoulders to one another contestant?

That only shows they are insecure. If Sonali, Sandhya and Ronit are people really taking about fairness, they would have spoken to SONY instead of Prachi. How fair isnt it?

I totally agree Ekta aint that great - people give her way to much credit. She has no sway over Sony or BBC, so it is completely idiotic to say that Ekta is the reason behind Prachi's wild card entry.

As someoen already said, Prachi was used as a scapegoat to prove to teh critics that Balaji actors weren't favoured over others,, which I personally think is bull anyway. Now Sony has lost out on valuable viewers, who only watched teh show for Prachi, they have lost out on TRP's and now Sony is doing everything that they can to rectify teh stupid mistake that they made in teh first place. It is not Prachi's fault that she is being used. Anyone who was kicked out of a show, than given another chance, would definetly come back, to prove to everyone that they were brought back for a reason. Everyone else is just scared, because Prachi is a great dancer and has just increased teh competition.

I will agree this post makes for juicy reading. But have you guys read the other pieces by Vickey Lalwani in Mid-Day? There is some speculation here and this person is known to make some hasty conclusions with anonymous sources. If I am correct this was the same writer that concluded wrongly that there was a Konkona-Ranvir breakup.
Honestly I find it hard to believe that Ronit would not talk to her at all. They were co-stars and he even asked votes for her. Sonali is no surprise as to her reaction. But I find it hard to believe Ronit would not talk to her. I can believe that Sandhya is not happy with the decision, but I really think it is rich of the writer to say Sandhya is jealous of Prachi's friendship with Ekta. That is like saying Sandhya has no friends, which we all know is not true and does not have a sizeable film career, which is also not true. Like someone else has stated, Prachi is being made a scapegoat due to the shoddy way the wildcard was done. Tell me something if Sony had done the wildcard with all eliminated contestants, wouldn't Prachi still have the most chance to win and therefore come back? The answer to that is most likely, yes.

True. I am sure Sony's panel of doctors would have looked into this too and given the 'fair' verdict without having to approach BBC and beg to have the original rules of the competition changed.

Wow...how gracious ppl can be and say that some contestant has to "beg" to change the rules.👏

Accepted Ronit is the only fair person in this whole world and Prachi is the who goes around begging to have her back.👏👏👏

We all know how the media is all bull so i dont really buy any of this lol. They are all adults and behave properly all the time (except for Sonali)

So no, I dont believe this article at all.

Hi Pinky,

Talking about fairness,how are we sure that Ronit and Sandhya are playing it fair? I know and I also understand that it was not fair to have a wildcard round all of a sudden. But what is Prachi's fault in it? Did she demand for one? If Ekta and audience demanded, what is Prachi's fault? Obviously, she could have rejected the offer but would you? It is just a game and she like anyone normal person wanted to win and when given another chance she took it. So what is her fault in this?

You have asked a very subjective question. So I would say that if I was in her place I would have refused the chance. I would have respected the rules of the competition as they were given to me and in turn respect the other participants who signed on with the same rules. Yes, it is just a game and like any other games it should be played by the rules laid out.

Talking about fairness, since they all felt it was unfair, they should have spoken to the Team of JDJ not Prachi. That itself is not fair. I am definitely not blaming them for their change in action but what they are doing is fair for you - Showing cold shoulders to a contestant rather than Talking to the Team who decided on wildcard?

I think Sonali, Sandhya and Mika did speak out on the stage of JDJ itself in front of the viewing audience and the judges. Showing the cold shoulder is not a good thing but it does happen in real life. Did people really expect them to jump for joy after seeing her back.

About Jay, whether he is doing it for his won benefit or other reasons, he atleast did not hurt other people. That is what matter at the end of the day. A lot of things in day to day life is also not fair, but we dont go around showing cold shoulders to people. That IS childish and does not show maturity.

Yes - life is not fair and this was a very good opportunity for Prachi to learn that basic fact of life. Sooner or later everyone has to experience this hard fact one way or another.

Also talking about negative publicity, actually isnt Prachi getting negative publicity with all that news reports about Ekta supporting her and Bajaj wildcard? In fact, Prachi is made the scapegoat in all this drama. She is also getting negative publicity.

Unfortunately, yes. From the press, from viewers who are not her fans and other participants. Instead of being able to go forward in this competition with dignity and grace she is made to look like the reciepient of some charity and/or a beggar.

Anyways, we can all argue on this till the cows come home but what has been done has been done. Independently or under pressure, the channel has bent its rules and the show will continue with the Wild Card Entry. Each one of us will feel what we feel and it is our choice whether to watch it or not. Nobody can take that away from us.
