Yeah Shakti is great and i love her, i too want her to win JDJ this season ..BUT if we talk about who's the best JDJ dancer ever, then it has to be LAUREN only ..THEN Shakti IMO.

Lauren has got this flawlessness in her performance ..it looks effortless and brilliant.

And about perfect scores..i said Lauren got in a row since 1st week..whilst Akshat NOT😃

Comparisonsn on IF are not allowed.. Its general Rule...

I find both dancers brilliant but I prefer Lauren without a doubt. She has the grace, the effortlessness, the clean lines, and always looks like she is having a blast doing what she's doing! 👏

I found it interesting that Lauren did a dance to "Tu na jaane aas paas" wherein her choreographer depicted her dad in the past season and Shakti did a dance to the same song where her choreographer depicted her dad this season. I preferred Lauren's performance on that song over Shakti's in this season.

IMO Shakti is a better dancer. Shakti's given fabulous performances in DID and D3.

But when it comes to performances given in Jhalak, Lauren has an upper hand till now. I am not comparing no of 30s given into consideration because Judges are never consistent in that department.

Lauren-Punit's performances in Jhalak have been fabulous. We have only reached halfway in Jhalak, so Im expecting some exceptional performances from Shakti-Tushar.

Lauren forever and always!!😆

Not only did she try numerous dance forms, she also put in the effort to understand the lyrics, lip sync and emote brilliantly along with executing the steps to the T. I find Shakti to very mechanical and limited expression wise. No doubt she is a fabulous dancer, but when it comes to emoting, she lacks big time.

Lauren, no doubt! She is miles ahead (And this is coming from someone who was supporting Drashti last season..I always knew Lauren was the best, but for some reason, I wanted a non-dancer to win & salman is 1 of my fave choreos so that explains why)

Shakti & Lauren both are pros who have been widely appreciated on other dance platforms! No don't need to provide excuses like one is more trained or blah blah. I think it's fair to compare them.

I chose Lauren b/c she has strong stage presence. When she dances, you just want to look at her ! She totally lights up the stage & keeps you glued. Her every move is full of life. & i like how she makes dancing seem so effortless & fun. It's also amazing how she can lip sync & give the right expressions eventhough she's not indian. Overall, I find her more graceful and expressive.It would have been great if Shakti was there last season! Now that would have been a great competition..

Anyways, Shakti is the best jdj had after Lauren. (I liked Isha too) Wishing her all the best

& Yayy for the challengers being back. Salman and Lauren are flawless <33

Absolutely!!! You just spoke my mind in more better words ..⭐️

@BOLD, Bang on about the stage presence thing! When she dances, you just can't stop looking at her ..she has got this flawlessness and great stage presence which is captivating!

Shakti is great too but ONLY after Lauren.. Lauren's ''Shama-Parwaana'' act is still considered as the BEST act/performance EVER by any contestant in JDJ so far!

I guess every dancer is strong is some or the other ways. Hence we should not compare Shakti and Lauren.

Lauren is a professional dancer but from another country, still Hats of to this girl for performing to some other country's dance forms and expressing other language with her dance... n still deliver strong performances👏.

On the other hand Shakti is flawless too👏 but she has an advantage to perform Indian dances and she knows how to express on Indian songs... so definitely Lauren lack these emotions a little because of her language barrier ...but still lauren's performances is close to perfection.

So for me both are perfect because a real comparison can be done only when when Shakti goes abroad and perform on other country's dance forms and meet their expectation. Right now I'm little biased towards Lauren because of her language barrier.

I just can't keep my eyes off from Lauren's performances.

Lauren, definitely!

both r very good dancers but lauren has a certain grace, a kind of fluidity in her performances...

shakti is more of a solo dancer but lauren adapts herself to everything...she shines in solo acts, has amazing chemistry with her partners in duets n also is a group performer...that is what i like the most about her...n this too coming from someone who supported drashti throughout last season.

n she emotes well too...shakti's steps r no doubt amazing but she needs to discover a certain kind of fluidity n develop n emotional connect...compared to lauren.sometimes i find her to be detached from the act which prevents me from fully appreciating some of her acts...though mindblowing.they dont have d same impact!

i havent seen TJ in jhalak as i really dont follow the farce of a show anymore,but judging from her youtube videos,she is great too...she is so damn flexible n has a certain poise which i admire!
