Chetan speaks about Aamir and Sanjeeda
Jodi No 7 Aamir Ali and Sanjeeda Sheikh's choreographers Chetan and Arun are surprised with their jodi's performance in Nach Baliye 3 in the first two weeks. Chetan says that although he wanted them to do well he didn't think that Aamir would be able to manage to get things this right in week one itself.
"Aamir's performance is like a surprise for us as well! We had a particular concept about the dance sequence and the steps so it is easy for us to dance on it but at the same time it is difficult for them to understand it and perform on it as well to take care of it that audience should also like it."
"I was at Aamir's place when the first episode was aired and that time his mum told me that she was watching him dance for the first time! So for a non dancer like Aamir it was really amazing thing to receive such comments," says Chetan.
So what's the secret behind such a great performance?
"The suspense behind both of them giving the best performance is that they really work hard and listen to us. We explain to them properly what we want. We do half an hour warm up everyday before actually going for the rehearsals. They have never told us that please hurry up we want to go here or there. They do their rehearsals properly and never look at the time. Whenever anyone does warm up before rehearsals they never feel stress of dancing," says Chetan echoing judge Vaibhavi Merchant's sentiments.
Chetan says that both he and his partner Arun now probably feel as much pressure as Aamir and Sanjeeda do following their great performances. "Aamir and Sanjeeda do synchronized steps and we never tried to hide that Aamir is a non dancer. Now he has proved himself and in the next episodes we will try to incorporate more acting or drama in our performances… we know that people now want to see them dancing more," says Chetan.
The latest buzz from the set suggests that the duo have managed to bowl over the judges with their second performance as well.

Aamir Ali = Sylvester Stallone?
Aamir Ali impressed all three judges with his very first performance and complimented him saying that he looked like a "dancing Sylvester Stallone." We spoke to other male contestants if that has them feeling a little insecure.
Hanif Hilal
He doesn't resemble Sylvester Stallone but he does look like Salman Khan as he is having a perfect physique. I'm very happy with Aamir and Sanjeeda's performance as Sanjeeda is very good dancer and he has perfectly matched his co-dancer.
Karan Grover
Why we should feel insecure as he has got that because of his hard work and being a non-dancer he has got such a good compliment from the director is really a worth.
Shakti Kapoor
We have come here to enjoy and if we are here to enjoy why would I feel insecure? Everyone's a fabulous dancer. I don't believe in competition I believe in enjoying dancing with my wife.
Karan Patel
It's very nice that he has got such good compliment but even I got the compliment from Ishaa regarding my head wave!
Alexx O'Neil
It's ok. The judges even liked our performance so now even we are performing with different strategy and concept as in the first round we had perform on North Indian style now its time to go south and to do experiment we have to take risk so but over all we are enjoying.
