36,000 votes for Hiten, Gauri
By: Vickey Lalwani
October 20, 2006

Hiten and Gauri

Shikha Bhatia, a 23-year old Delhiite, plays a big role in Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan's position at the top in Nach Baliye 2. Shikha, an ardent fan of both, has given them 36,000 votes till now.

Hiten and Gauri's low scores in the first round rattled Shikha to no end. She had registered 4,000 votes for them in the first week, but subsequently went all out to hit the 8,000 mark every week thereafter.

Every Monday, when one couple is eliminated, Shikha's heart is in her mouth. "I want Hiten and Gauri to go all the way. I'm leaving no stone unturned to see my dream come true."

How is she registering so many votes? Shikha, an only child, explains her modus operandi, "I've got in touch with many cyber cafes. I have told them to make their staff vote through their computers. I pay the cyber cafes accordingly. They are getting money, and my favourite jodi is getting their votes."

No expense spared

Shikha Bhatia

The Panju girl adds that her parents aren't fretting over the expenses she's incurring. "Mum and dad don't mind what I do in my spare time as long as I study well and do nothing wrong. I've completed two semesters in Chartered Accounting."

A fan is blind to reason, so Shikha complains that the judges have been a bit harsh on Hiten and Gauri. "I think they're giving them lesser marks because they know they have a huge fan following." How does she find them as dancers? Pat comes the reply, "Pretty decent, they're improving by leaps and bounds."

Shikha traces back, "When I first saw Kuttumb, I was stunned. I think nobody's more gorgeous than Gauri. Later, I started liking Hiten also. In fact, he's still my dream man. But I'm not jealous of Gauri. Today, I call Hiten my big brother. I have a lot of respect for him; I've spoken to actors on the phone and I think he's the best behaved."

Eye spy

Does she watch Kyunki...? "After Nandini (Gauri) went to jail, I stopped watching. Ever since her return last month, I started watching it again. Hiten aur Gauri jab saath hote hain to baat hi kuch aur hoti hai. They speak through their eyes and set the screen on fire."

Shikha talks to Hiten and Gauri on the phone at least three to four times in a month, but is still to meet them. "I'm coming to Mumbai in June 2007," she says excitedly.

Hiten on Shikha

"Shikha talks to us very often. We are looking forward to meeting her. Actually, she was supposed to come to Mumbai a few months back, but I think some exams came in the way. Anyway, we are extremely thankful to her. She is definitely playing a big role in our prospects in Nach Baliye 2. It must be sweat, toil and labour in every respect."

a big fan indeed but this is what i dont like people voting for their favourite jodi rather than the best dancers...thats why today narayani-gaurav are out and to a certain extent shweta-raja (mainly shweta though)
