Well I thought she had all the right to get irritated as why would you want to compare the situation to last time, that was a dumb question. But I am a punju and I know what she said, she does respect public opinion but can do much about it. I think she does not want to beg for votes or have any lame reasons (other than her performance) to ask for vote. In many reality shows you see contestants give melodramatic stories or even in JDJ there were people who were trying to milk their injuries. I dont think she does that and thats why I like her. She can give her 100% performance and cant manupulate the votes.
If you see her performance too, they are only pure dancing and she does not fill her performances with histrionics like taking her superman clothes off or use silly props. Her performance always has a dance eliment. Many others waste their performance time doing other things such that their actual dance time is less and it takes the focus away. Thats why you will never see her remove sindoor to put tika on judges, have a complete costume change during her dance, or start playing hockey, or make immitation of other dancers (jitendra, dharmendra, rajesh khanna, etc).
FOr me that why she has the dancing edge coz she is giving Pure dancing (also Sudha). If only she improves her facial expression, she will be as kisk-ass as Shweta Salve.
