She is great dancer but in international dance forms. Her footwork is better than all of the other female choreographers. If all the performances were strict international dance forms she would kill it but all the dances except the 2nd one has had lots of bollywood/ indian forms/acting to it and she is definitely lacking in that as it is not her forte. Which is why she is not fit for jhalak. I also think her chemistry is fine with Karan. She just lacks the masala factor that is very much necessary. She is not over-hypered,she is an excellent dancer, a pro choreographer from DWTS Australia. Her performances in DWTS were very nice👍🏼

Firstly choreographing to songs that you don't understand is difficult (like you stated),as she does not understand Hindi. And also the kind of facial expressions and acting you need in order to dance to indian songs , she does not have that for obvious reasons.

I think the channel should've realized that earlier before bringing her in. I definitely don't blame her. I feel bad for her, and for karan and solely blame the channel and producers.

I feel bad for Karan. I really love him and am supporting him, but I don't think Elena is a good fit for him. She's not utilizing him to his greatest potential. :(

elena is not over-hyped... that girl has moves and she knows what dance is!

jhalak dikhla jaa is much different that the international versions and judges have different requirements... yes at the end of the day the competition is about dance, but many times you could note how maks interpreted a dance much different than the other judges...

elena is a good dancer but its important to give her some time to adjust and understand how this show works... each dancer has their own strategy and techniques and karan has improved a lot in the past three weeks and that can't go unnoticed... better to give her a fair chance and give her some space to bring the best out of karan!

The Elena bashing was making me upset.

same here!!!!!!

dancing is honestly much harder than what it looks and trying different styles is so difficult!

i actually applaud elena for the way she gracefully did the bollywood dance last week...

indian dance forms are much harder than one would expect but she pulled it off! and karan just wants to come out of this show becoming a better dancer, and he already has done that so I'm content enough with that!
