Totally agree with you... its still to see the real proper chemistry between the duo...
i am still unable to connect them both...
both are good dancers i agree but somehow that is over powering their chemistry...
it is pretty mechanical for me...

shakti might be flexible so is tushar but there is no chemistry and that partner essence is missing.

i want to see shakti dancing classical coz i still see lot of contemporary moves in her classical dance. that softness that is needed is missing right now...

however i would reserve my comment till i see her full classical performance.

This!

Thank you, I agree. I think both of their strengths are overpowering their connect/chemistry and their performance lacks a soul...a connect. Individually they are good dancers. but they're not gelling well together for whatever reason.

I didn't see Shakti's DID performances. I just came to know about her in Jhalak. I have different opinion on bold part.. I have a feeling if Shakti performs with Deepak then I have a feeling they both will do great as a couple. I don't know how to explain this, but from this season's male choreographers only Deepak had/has compatibility with all his dancing partners in couple dances (Like Deepak-Rashmi, Deepak-Sophie). I hope there's couple swapping performance and if she gets Deepak then I will come to know if my theory is right or wrong.😆

Shakti had some exceptional performances in DID. Terence brought out some of his best that season. Yeah Deepak always has good chemistry with his partners...let's see who she gets paired with in the couple swap. I think it's happening in the later episodes.

Did is not issue here but even there she focussed mainly on her comfort zo e, contemporary and tl kept on giving hwr contemporary acts. Outside judges challenges, she only on e did a classical act and I remember how geeta merrily tore her apart which was justified too.
Anyway.this is jdj. And unfortunately fornat is couple work. So it has to be kept in mind that u havw to make it work with ur partner ans ita bot ur own show.

And I agree with Deepak. He is the best ballroom trained among the lot and he could have eased shakti into act.
Bjt colors listened to a lot of fan tweets this season whne it came to pairing and other stuff. So we see this nowtushar tbh is not that well versed in ballroom.
I agree kamli is a bad song for tangoalso why can't they use instrumental music? Why always song and dance? Tango works so much better with music only. And of recent songs, the total siyappa song nahin maloom is a good tango song and also an arr aong in recent albums.

tbh I really likes all the three performances of hers so far. But I dont like how the judges are giving perfect scores this early in the competition. Coming to shakti being weak in indian, I dont think so. In DID she did 'roop suhana' and 'inhe logone' indian classical performances, she does execute the choreography really well, the first indian performance' roop suhana' lacked in choreo as it was too simple. But she did well with the kathak performance.
So I dont think she is weak in indian, given good choreography I think she can carry it off pretty well. I do think that a lot depends on the song selected. kamli was out and out her song, i felt they should have picked something else. for the laal ishq performance I think they did work on their chemistry. In fact I really liked their performance and it was flawless.

Hmm, I don't really agree. He's pretty experienced himself.

They lack a connect while dancing and it's not because one is better than the other. They're both very good as dancers...they just need to perform so that both stand out. Maks is right. Shakti is a soloist. She is amazing when its about her but her partner work she has mainly done well with Amar, even in DID. I remember performances with other dancers like Punit, Jai failing for one reason or another.

Kamli was a bad song to pick for a Tango. Songs matter a lot more than most choreographers think. You have to choreograph according to the mood, lyrics of the songs, dance style. That brings about a complete performance.


No, Himani, I didn't mean their individual dancing, but the decision making process. Someone is overpowering someone else there in the process itself, hence the end result of safe performances. What I think is that this season will establish Tushar's popularity as a choreographer, but do absolutely nothing to help their pairing. As wonderful as Shakti is as a soloist, her couple work lacks connection and Tushar-Shakti's difference in strength are not helping their case. Mouni and Tushar share a similar forte in classical, hence IMHO, Mouni-Punit are not clicking well together either. From her DID days, her couple work has been shaky, so they are dealing with a case of incompatibility in performances. Although, I should mention that I liked their last performance much better than the rest, it was near flawless according to me and I noticed both of them.

Seriously its only the 3rd week, Shakti has lots of time to get out of her comfort zone. Calm down.

Some of you should be judges on JDJ, you're so strict as if your dance experts yourself.

I agree with some points here. In those first two performances I noticed only Shakti because she performed that well. Being a Shakti Mohan fan, even I felt that their last performance didn't match the level I was expecting it to be. Frankly there was so less dance. And yes, their was no chemistry between them. That portion when they were both touching their faces, I didn't feel anything like what i feel when Shakti dances with Amar. Those saying she is weak in couple dancing, let me say that she is NOT. Not a fangirl's pov but generally I'm saying this.I have watched her all performances from DID. And her dancing with Amar in D3 in the song 'In lamho k daman mein' is my all time favourite. For chemistry first they need to be comfortable with each other, which they are not and its clear from Shakti-Tushar last performance. Last year Tushar was much more comfortable with Sana, i feel. Anyways lets see. Its just chemistry does not always click 😆

^^ That is exactly what Himani is saying. Shakti's couple-work has only been marginally good on live stage when it was with Amar, her performances with Punit or Jai never really hit the scale, even when a choreographer like Terence was choreographing. So, this is a bit of a problem. Also, live stage and tv shows are different, so it's pointless comparing the two. They use retakes, props, an entire team of CVs to make chemistry click in tv shows. But stage is a different ball-game altogether. It requires much more effort and struggle to make a couple click on stage.
It's not about comfort either. More about the difference in their strengths, which is evident in their dancing.

They should replace Karan Yaar seriously...

Shakti takes criticism very well and improves by leaps and bounds.

How I wish there would have been one judge who would be frank.

Well there obstacle is their expertise in two completely opposite dance forms... when they try contemporary ,ballets or fast nos Shakti over power Tushar but when they use Indian classical Tushar over powers Shakti..

And I think because we have seen some out class n chemistrilicious performances of Shakti with Kunwar... we find something missing in their team work or partner work..

Shakti is definitely not at all weak in couple or pair dances because most of her popular performances on DID were in couple...

They need to find a mid way ... so that they can balance each other... n their expertise...
