Not answering the rest of your post since that's your opinion ... I saw enough dance ... more than I've seen in other emotional acts, more than i saw in the other emotional act this week even ... but that's your opinion. For me both emotional acts, Sanaya-Mohit's and Bharati's, had enough dance ... but more than that, they connected because i was personally invested in both ...
I had close relatives holed up in a room in one of the hotels under attack for four days ... by the last day, they had one apple left to eat, and no idea how many days that one apple had to last them before ...if ever ... they were rescued. Sanaya and Mohit's act brought back the terror of those days ... and how helpless and anguished the rest of the family felt that we were unable to do a thing to help them. The way they hid in the cupboard? My relatives actually did that when they heard voices in the corridor outside. They had children waiting for them too ... fortunately they made it out back to them.
I don't think it was milking the event ... I think we need to remind ourselves periodically about those days, and how lucky we are to be safe where we are. I know my relatives never forgot how lucky they were to be rescued when so many others lost their lives during those 4-5 terrible days.
But regarding what you term 'post performance rona dhona' ... I guess you missed Sanaya's words after the act ... she was at the spot where the attacks happened ...one of the encounters took place under her balcony at her building ... she saw the firing herself. Their balcony was open ... for all they knew, any one of the terrorists could have entered any of the buildings around. Some did ... not theirs, but another one close by. Those buildings are old, have huge open balconies, and have no security whatsoever. Sanaya and her family were under threat, in real danger, so were all the people in those buildings around.
I don't think ANYONE can ever completely forget something like that. To term it post performance rona dhona is, I feel, being not only unkind but very unfeeling. I am appalled that an Indian ... as I presume you are ... can even think this way.
