I like shakti a lot and would have loved to see her win this had I overlooked the other contestants. Unfortunately I can't overlook the standards of other contestants. This has been a problem since the 2nd season,JDJ has been pitching professional dancers against all other kinds including beginners. The contestants might amuse themeselves into thinking that the one who shows the most improvement is appreciated the most but that's not so in the minds of the audience. At the end of the day,we all fall for the best performance,which obviously a professional dancer will always give. And after watching some class acts,when the trophy goes to a mediocre dancer simply on the basis of popularity,it irritates u! JDJ was introduced on television as a show that would bring out the dancing side of non-dancers,it has been contradicting its own concept over the yrs,I won't blame a Shakti or a Lauren for it

I feel a lot of people this year have a problem with shakti becoz apart frm being an awesome dancer she has a massive fan following!! Last year lauren was there but she didnt have much fan base becoz of being a foreigner!! This year shakti has both, talent and popularity!!
But i stilll stand by shakti no matter what people say!! She is on the show to dance and i am there to see her dance!!
Shakti mohan all the way!! ❤️

Sudha's story is different. She's only trained in classical and she has a wooden leg. I remember that year, Sudha had done many different dances, different from classical. She is not of Lauren or Shakti's caliber. She was older in age so she was not able to move as much as them and she had a wooden leg which put her at disadvantage at times.

I'm still angry over the inclusion of Lauren in the show. I don't understand why she was a contestant while her movie co-stars Salman and Punit were choreographers. Where was the fairness in that? Where did that decision even come from? It did not and does not make sense. And don't even get me started on the bias toward Salman and Punit. I'm not happy with the selection of judges this year either. They should've been changed, its their third year together. There needs to be a new panel with new freshness.

And Shakti is a freaking trained dancer, WINNER of a dance show. She knows many different dance styles. What is the point of competing with her when she's able to master everything? That was the same problem with Mukti. Freaking Mukti was better than her choreographer at times.

It's just like having a singing show for non-singing celebrities and then asking someone like Shaan, who makes his living off singing, to come and compete with non-singers. It's totally fair...NOT.

I agree
I think if Jdj wasn't based on voting and purely in dance then it would have had been unfair to others but here popularity works and not only shakti has fans Ashish karan mouni kritika they all have fans

Exactly, why Shakti Mohan shouldn't be a contestant? This show's main tagline is 'Dancing With The Stars', She is a STAR! that is another thing that, she is a trained dancer also!

All the best, Shakti di :)



By that logic, why even have famous choreographers? Even the choreographers are stars in their own dancing fields. I think Sneha, Karanvir's partner from last year is a Salsa champion. By that status, she was a star in her field. What business did she have being a choreographer?


At the end of the day, Shakti has an unfair advantage over the other contestants.

Also, I'd just like to make it clear that I'm not a Shakti hater. I actually really like her and her dancing, just not when she's competing with people she has a clear advantage over.

In my opinion, there's a difference between trained dancer's and professional dancers. As a trained dancer, you've been taught to do some dance forms. You're good at it. As a professional, you're beyond good. You're amazing at dancing, basically perfect.

Ritvik is a trained dancer. But Shakti is a professional. She makes her living off dancing. There's no question at all, she has a CLEAR advantage over the others as the WINNER of a PROFESSIONAL DANCING show.

The show is Sub-Titled, 'Dancing With Stars' and not 'Dancing with Non-Dancers'😆😆

Just becoz other STARS are untrained or haven't won any reality show doesnt meant a trained one shouldnt perform.

Nor is deir any rule like Dancers shouldnt participate😳

As far as I have heard and seen..

THE FREAKING TITLE OF JHALAK IS 'DANCING WITH STARS'.

Isn't it?

Shakti Mohan is a STAR and no one can deny it.

Her fan following be it on IF or anywhere says it easily too.

There isn't any rule of Jhalak saying A STAR who is a dancer too shouldn't come as a contestant.

If their is any rule then comment n give me d link!

Forming ur own rules and giving ur own tags to a show doesn't make it one.

But one thing is for sure.😆

Everyone knows Shakti has everything to be the WINNER😆😆

Let it be the MARKS or the VOTES😆

Inshallah,

Hope other contestants get a bit less votes than my Diva and make her the Winner.

I am tensed about the voting frankly😆😆

Hope WE manage to get her across the voting too and make her TOP in that😆
