Disappointed in Shakti-Tushar so far. - Page 5

Yes and also the fact that they share a personal relationship while Tushar and Shakti are still getting introduced to one another. Comparing those two as couples and as individuals is quite unfair

so far i enjoyed their performances .. but agreed with some of the points pointed by many of you .. I also think Tushar Mauny would be better pair over shakti Tushar. ..

Since shakti is an experienced dancer she might be playing a vital role in choreography ... IF Tushar do the choreography alone I think we can see some thing more than what we are seeing so far .. This is just what i feel when i see their performances ...

Well one more thing they have delivered just 3 performances .. so i would like to give them a chance before jumping in to any conclusion ... after all both of they are absolutely fine dancers ...

shakti is not choreogaphing their performances...in their 1st iv itself they said..that she comes directly from shoot nd tushar keeps evrything ready for her to take...they rehearse nd she goes back to shoot...its completely tushar's call...

Maybe she is restricting herself from being perfect so that she doesn't receive the flak of being a trained professional dancer and being given advantage which is unfair? Quite a possibility because every dance performance she did in DID with or without a partner was excellent. So it's weird how she and Tushar doesn't have any chemistry together as a couple. Like Max said, they stand apart individually but not as a couple.

Also I found it weird that Remo gave Shakti 10 inspite of her legs being bent in some portions of the Laal Ishq performance knowing how strict he is with legs being always straight during a performance.

I wanted to reply a few days back but forgot...totally agree with this, Himani.

What I'm seeing so far is a lack of flow in the choreography...it all feels very MECHANICAL rather than SOULFUL...and there is no point to dance unless you are dancing from your soul...and Shakti is definitely capable of it from what we saw of her on DID...but now I wonder if a lot of it was Terence magic too...he worked very hard on making her a PERFORMER who could EMOTE onstage along with dancing...

These days I find her lacking in the emoting aspect when I watch her performances...like the most recent one on laal ishq...very very mechanical act on a song that is SO soulful...I couldn't connect to it.

Choreographing or not, contestants, especially the trained ones, always exert a great deal of influence on choreographers, good or bad, that much is an established fact by now. Just like Lauren influenced Punit's choreography last year.

Also people are saying this because last year there were articles about Mukti's choreographer and tShakti's intervention in his choreography which did not allow him to experiment, so people may have this doubt. In my opinion, she may not be choreographing, but she has a major influence on the choreography which is sorta disrupting their act a little.

No big deal. They just need to fit into each other's vision, hopefully soon.

Well in that case I guess it was a good influence...Lauren is much more trained and accomplished as a dancer than Shakti...the level of versatility and energy that Lauren has is just mindblowing...give her pretty much any style and she NAILS it...so if she was the one influencing Punit, it was a damn good influence and they worked out a good rhythm.

In Shakti-Tushar's case, I just don't see that kind of tuning...they aren't connecting on a soulful level needed for their acts...they seem more hung up on the technicalities of each act rather than capturing the soul of it.

Shakti is very good but I feel like she's stopped GROWING as a dancer...when she came on DID, we never had seen a dancer like her on an Indian reality show before...now the expectations have grown over time and I'd like to see some growth in her as a dancer...even if she does the same thing over and over again, do it with that level of conviction and soul...I find that missing right now and I'm disappointed cuz I've liked Shakti since her DID days.

I just watched the Laal Ishq performance. The thing with Tushar-Shakti is that Tushar is a Chhau dancer while Shakti has contemporary training (which is equivalent to being flexible in our country. If you can split in the air, BAM you're a contemporary dancer ) and the resultant combination is that they're stuck in a congruent neighborhood of dance forms. Neither has the expertise to try something like, say, latin, hip hop or even bollywood for that matter.

Shakti is an AMAZING dancer 👏
