This is my first post in this forum. I am an avid TV watcher, I watch loads of Indian TV for whatever it's worth. I have been watching Jhalak since it started almost 2 months back! I am not a big fan of reality shows, but I do love to watch dance shows, so decided to give it a try.
Among the contestants, the few faces I recognized are from the shows I have watched. Sanaya Irani( Rangrasiya), Vivian (Madhubala), Radhika (MATH) Dipika(SSk) and the kid from the historical show.
Among all the performers, I have been consistently impressed with the acts of Faisal and Sanaya.
The kid is a genius and I love watching him.

But Sanaya has way surpassed my expectations. I know of her as an amazing actress par excellence, but was not sure of her dancing ability. Her first few acts were not impressive, but what a growth she has shown over the weeks. Her Dhoom act totally blew me away, my husband watched along with me and asked me if this is the girl who played the docile and sweet Paro. I couldn't stop him from drooling over the hot chic act. We have been following the show religiously since then and have been mesmerized week after week with her act, silently cheering her on. From the crazy expressive drunken act of Kangana to the super cute and perfect imitation of Chaplin and from the aggressive femme fatale of Dhoom Machale to the inherently graceful and elegant Baby doll, she has gone from strength to strength acing every act adding the finest nuances to make the acts that much better. She might not be technically sound, but boy is she a pleasure to watch on screen or what!!!!!
I couldn't stop myself from coming here today after witnessing the most spectacular, mesmerizing and spellbinding act ever.
After the butterfly/flower act, my husband has been repeatedly asking me if this girl is a trained dancer. I was not 100% sure, but from whatever I have seen, I told him not. For an untrained dancer to pull off that jaw dropping, mind numbing, heart thumping act is way beyond admirable! What really seals the deal is that she did it without a harness. The lifts and drops were beautiful, and the horizontal had me gasping for air! The love story was so endearing and superbly choreographed by Jai. Worthy of mention is the trust factor between the two.
As soon as the act ended, my hubby was yelling "give it to her"..."that golden ball"
We were too much in a trance to notice that she had actually hurt herself during the act. I have seen many dance shows, but haven't seen an aerial act like this one ever before, as Lauren pointed out!!!!!
With this act, Sanaya has raised the bar for self and others and for the whole show this season! I am sure her die hard fans and supporters are proud of her, but a regular TV watcher and dance lover like me who enjoys her as an actress is also amazed at her journey and want to wish her the best.
Her journey so far can be compared to an air flight. For the last few weeks, she has faced many turbulences and strong winds as she soared through the clouds, but she overcame and steadied herself with her choreographers able support. There are a few more layers of clouds and winds to pass before the sky clears and she will be at the highest altitude of her journey to the stars.

PS: I am not the voting kind of person, but after this act both me and my husband have decided to vote for Sanaya till the end. She truly deserves to go all the way to the top, and we will do our part to take her there.

Very True and a beautiful post Sudha😊

Its really mesmerizing to see our beloved character put her heart and soul into this show. When a mere serial watcher like us feels the urge to vote, it shows that Sanaya has achieved already what she wished to. She is already a "WINNER" for us all no matter what👏

The same happening at my house, when the show started my hubby comment was like "Does she really need to do this?" to this week performance as " She is absolutely mind-blowing ,and very much deserve the trophy"😳 and this is coming from a non-hindi speaking person who hasn't seen any of her works so far!! now not to add my younger son's crazy steps to her numbers😆

I am smiling from ear to ear reading a neutral viewer and not a die hard fan writing this!!

And to answer your husband's question. No she has never ever been trained in any form of dance till she started doing JDJ this season. The only acts she has done were Bollywood dances with easy steps and multiple takes as they are prerecorded for awards shows!!

And thank you very much for starting voting for her!! She truly deserved it all and more after the phenomenal performance she and Jai gave last night!

The girl might not be technically perfect, but the grin, sweat, hard work and dedication are the things she lives by! Despite having such a big fan following she never takes us for granted. And she works so so hard!! Gives such amazing magical performances and makes us all so proud of her!!

She doesn't want to be there only because her fans are keeping her there. That has been her aim from before she performed her first act. And she is living by it!! Week after week she shows tremendous improvement through sheer hard work and Jai's amazing support!!

And reading this very post makes me realize she has indeed achieved that aim of hers.. you guys, who are neutral viewers who don't vote usually are voting because she has earned that vote through her dance!!

So once again thank you very much for sharing this with us! And most importantly for voting for her from next week!!! 🤗

Lets get together and bring her all the way to the clear skies and reach the stars...❤️ she deserved all the appreciation she received for such tremendous improvement... as a SanayaHolics... this is the lifetime MOMENT for me...

That midair horizontal lift is a breathless moment for all viewers... Hats off to SanJai for their trust and dedication... have u watch new interview of SanJai (you can find the link at first page of Sanaya AT thread)... they shared the 'turbulence' they faced to finish the act... Its gave me tears... when she said 'how can I do that to Jai...'she a gem bas!!😃

Thank You, for the wonderful post, Sudha. It feels really great to read a non fan write nicely of her. Her dedication, hard work and commitment shows in her every act and thanks to that, she is winning more hearts. She is a amazing person❤️. And deserves our support and votes for sure.

I can imagine what you and your husband felt when you watched the "Flower and Butterfly" act. I myself was gasping and in awe through the act. That was one gutsy and beautiful act.

My 5 year old loved the act so much that now all she wants to see is that dance. She keeps asking, "Keep that flower girl's dance. I like her. I want her to win." Lost count on how many times
we both watched and re-watched the dance, still it takes our breath away. She was so confused as to how Sanaya managed to fly like Jai with out a wire. Mainly when she was in the horizontal position with both their hands stretched out. I had hard time explaining that "How" to her later 😆.

This is a beautiful post, thank you so much!!! It means a lot, as it comes from someone who is not a die hard Sanaya fan ... so happy to know that Sanaya has won over both you and your husband with her hard work, and even happier to know that you will vote for her in the weeks ahead ... welcome on board!
You have described her journey on Jhalak so beautifully .. her start was turbulent, with her injury, but she has shaken it off, and is flying higher and higher every week. Now she's aiming for the stars ... and nothing can stop her!

Lovely post, Sudha! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Its is heartening to see the opinion of a neutral viewer who has seen her growth during this journey.
Glad she has impressed you enough that you have decided to support her and vote for her.
This is testimony to the fact that Sanaya is moving forward not only because of the vote support she gets from her huge fandom, but also because of the support she gets from non fans who she is winning over by her sheer hard work, dedication and passion.
Cheers!
