Shweta's rambles of distraction Artical

Apart from matching steps on Nach Baliye 2, the jodis are also busy devising ingenious ways of causing stress to their fellow contestants. So it seems Shweta Tiwari has devised a rather unique method of distraction.

One of the contesting jodis tells us that when Tiwari comes up to the others to wish them luck ahead of their performance, she also ends up rambling, "Don't give a very good performance. Think about my husband and me, please! If you take all the scores we'll be left with none!"

This practice has irked a few jodis, who have decided to lock themselves up in the green room to prevent their interactions with Tiwari. We try to get the other jodis to speak their mind…

Jokes aside

Narayani Shastri: She would keep rambling things like, "Do not put up a very good performance. Think about our jodi. We're quite weak." But I never really paid heed to it, thinking that she's joking.

Gaurav Chopraa: Let's be honest, from the time you get off the make-up van to the time you walk backstage, other jodis are constantly ogling at you. They try to gauge your look and get apprehensive about your performance and scores. They wish each other luck as a formality, but it definitely lacks warmth.

Healthy competition

Gouri Tonkk: Usually, Shweta performs after us, so we never get to see her before our performance. We've never exchanged words with her.
Yash Tonkk: There's just too much chaos ahead of our performances. It's healthy competition on Nach Baliye, and I don't think that any
jodi is going to do something that.

Shallow talk

Shweta Kawatraa: We've been performing before Shweta so far, so we don't really get to interact so much.

Manav Gohil: I'm not aware of it. But if any jodi is indulging in such loose talk then I must say that it only goes to show how shallow they are.

Unkind lot

Ketaki Dave: The jodis who get good scores look through the weaker lot. I wouldn't want to take names, but there are people who are not so kind.
Rasik Dave: I have been on the show for only two weeks. But yes, people are quite anxious about their songs, costumes and steps. But that has never really caused any ego hassles.

Genuine friends

Gurdip Kohli: I have made so many genuine friends on the show. And thankfully, nobody has made any caustic remarks about us so far.
Arjun Punjj: This is unheard of. I perceive my fellow contestants as cheerful and jolly professionals. I don't think they can do that.

Chilling out

Hiten Tejwani: I'm hardly bothered about what people say and do on the sets. I prefer listening to music and focus on my steps, because I'm not a good dancer.

Gauri Pradhan: Be it ahead of our performances or after a couple has been voted out, the atmosphere on the sets is pretty chilled out. As far as Shweta is concerned, I haven't really faced this sort of behaviour so far.

Stooping low

Hussain: I don't think anybody will do something as hideous as that. At least I haven't faced it so far.

Tina: I'm not aware of it.

Dosti ki khatir

Sharad Kelkar and Keerti Gaekwad: Shweta is a sweet friend of ours. At least she didn't do that to us during the show.

No talking

Tanaaz Lal: As it is I'm having enough stress learning my steps. I would rather not comment on it.

Bakhtyaar Irani: Just before we go up to the stage to dance, there are talks that start with 'all the best' and then veer to other things. I would rather not talk about it. I don't even listen to what Tanaaz has to say, so forget Shweta Tiwari!
