"Salaman: Drashti has a huge crush on Remo..."
I think the statement came from her choreographer ... The closest person on set. I'm sure he didn't say that without being sure from DD or without her consent. This is a recorded program and the actor had enough scope of correcting it before being aired. Until now, I took it lightly, because it's natural for any one to have a crush on another person...
But your desperate efforts to prove that, it's not a crush while she accepts it as a crush, raises some doubt. I trust you, as a DD fan, I'm sure you are speaking the truth. That makes the other possibility more realistic.
Specially after watching yesterday's performance, I could see her desperation to score marks in every other way except dancing. Yesterday, she was quite kamasutra-isque in her postures and dress up, but very ordinary as a dancer.
So I tend to believe that the question that raised in your mind that; "is she trying to score by falsely claiming a crush on remo?" Has a greater chance to be YES. Atleast yesterday she got the job done. The points given didn't match with judges comments... She got all the praises for being sexy and sensuous and all negatives on her dance, so merely being sexy wouldn't bring her 9 from remo, if she didn't use that crush...😊
I accept all parts of your post including evidence that she only likes him but didn't have a crush. I trust you, she doesn't have a crush on Remo. But she falsely claimed that and used Salman to say that to score more points only... ... And she was successful yesterday...
I'm not the judge to say, thats right or wrong; I'm just stating facts...and analysis. Well it's not intended to bash her...
