Popularity is a two edged sword ... while it makes one ride on success , earns you adoration and loads of fans, it also makes one vulnerable from inside to be able to live up to the expectations people have from you. San choosing to go to such lengths makes me think she wants to put in 100 % of herself in the work without depending on us fans and that is the righteous thing to do. She is doing what she is supposed to do that is Deliver ! She is doing what she can do ...
So what if she looked a bit scared once or twice ...it can be given a pass looking at the finesse with how the performance turned out as a whole !
I am not saying San is trying to prove anything to anyone, she does not need to ! It's just that this is how the human psyche works ... Many a times people tend to give a pass to hard work just because someone is really popular. So it comes off as more pressure to deliver in this condition ! To get this thought through that one really did slog to earn the trophy and it was not just what the other part of the world is doing for her.
However the opposite of this happens too when people tend to ignore Hard work and focus on just the popularity part which is wrong as well.
I loved what she did, more than that I love her spirit to give a performance that would ensure she is IN the competition on her own merit.
We know this competition depends on votes, she knows too and with Jai being so active on these sites, there is no way San has no idea of her popularity, yet she chose a difficult path to perform, took such a big risk , came and gave a smashing performance and this is what makes her a Stellar performer !!
I am ready to ignore anything in front of this Trait of hers to put in honest hard work which really does not need any voice as it speaks for itself.
I would however not want her to risk herself like she did because no Trophy is worthier than a person's well being ! She will shine more no matter what anyone says !! 😊
