I was thinking the same thing...when did Rithvik and Asha have a video shown about them...I just couldn't remember seeing one so I thought I might have missed it.
What Rithvik said last week was a spontaneous tribute to his father - Karan Wahi highlighted his parents in the audience and he took the opportunity to acknowledge them and pay tribute to the fact that his father is not educated but has worked since the age of 12 years and as a father worked and still works 16 hour days for his children.
That is very different to what was done today, Saturday, during the semi-final weekend leading up to the Grand Finale next Saturday when everything should be neutral for all contestants. This has not been the case throughout the show where Judge Sajid Khan keeps saying who should be the winner and also had the audacity to say last week after Rithvik and Asha performed that they are way behind Gurmeet and Debina as dancers. Really, I don't know what this judge sees because Rithvik is a much better dancer than Gurmeet and according to an article out now Rithvik and Asha even lead Gurmeet and Debina in scores from the judges so there is something radically wrong with Judge Sajid Khan's assessment because he is casting aspersions on the judges' marks also by making such a false statement - if that was the case then Gurmeet and Debina should be ahead in the scores and not Rithvik and Asha. Let's say it like it is and not how we would like it to be.

Hello, RITHVIK did not get a video!🤣
it was impromptu ... HE voiced his heart out (TAKES courage when you know you do not have a GODFATHER in the judges panel) ... in spite of one judge throwing daggers at him and ASHA time and again...
GURMEET GOT A VIDEO, featuring his parents, his journey!! .. and in the background, one judge smiled and championed his cause ...
hello, do you even know the difference!?😕🤔 ---
I DO like gurbina as dancers, but would have appreciated more neutral judgement
Thanks Trish & PrincessSJB - I really thought there what did the entire AshVik fans miss in terms of a Rithvik & Asha video. In fact they are one of the finalists couples and we didn't even get an individual promo of theirs when NB started. Even throughout NB, for example, when AshVik fans trended worldwide about them being in NB, Star didn't bother to acknowledge that much.
Fab point about the Godfather and cheerleader in the judges team Trish, in fact I'd say Sajid acts as the killjoy post a good performance when other judges give AshVik 11 and he nitpicks over non-issues like he saw acting or he saw balancing or he was confused or I-just-came-up-with-this-ridiculous-idea-now
No couple has had it easy but if the show constantly highlights struggles of one over the others, its bound to irk viewers, and not just fans.
