Immaturity has no place in showbiz

I'm one of those who is a RA and a SA fan. However, I wanted RA to win as they were the underdogs as far as their personalities were concerned...their underprevileged backgrounds, their lack of English speaking skills, Rakhi's preconceived reputation etc

SA had several advantages over them, not least was the fact that they are popular tV stars and are in our drawing rooms every week day via their serials.

Also, they are young, cute and freshfaced and have 'masoomiyath' like Salman said. And, obviously educated. This appeal is universal and would have garnered them many votes apart from their very obvious talent. The very fact that they got into the final round through sheer dint of the votes was indication enough that the trophy would be theirs.

Rakhi ought to have considered this on the final day when the results were out as the final result was a no-brainer. Which makes one wonder why Rakhi behaved the way she did. As an ardent fan, I feel very let down by her childishness and her utter lack of foresight. She and Abhishek would have won everyone' s respect if they had stayed on the stage and congratulated the winners and accepted the trophy gracefully.

Rakhi ought to have given a thought to tomorrow's newspapers and TV which will have a field day laughing at her behaviour. What ever goodwill she had garnered so far would be lost and the poor girl would have to start all over again.

Openness and speaking from the heart is all good but when it is reduced to childish tears and a refusal to accept losses, then the good qualities get lost and buried under the weight of the poor ones.

RA should learn from the younger couple who, even in the moment of victory, didn't leap about and scream. They were a picture of utter grace and dignity. I feel today, the better people won, not particularly the better dancers.

There is no excuse for immature behaviour especially in the cut-throat world of showbiz. Now, Rakhi will never live it down...for no one will let her forget it.

Btw, I don't understand why Vaibahvi had to go backstage and mollycoddle them. It only seemed to make things even worse!

I don't mean to offend Rakhi fans here as I am one of them. But today, I am very disappointed RA fan who feels very let down.

I havent watched the finale...but I can see what rakhi could have done. I agree, though I rooted for them, I dont agree with unsportmanship behavior. So sad, rakhi has lot more to learn.

Having said that, I always expected A-S to win as they were more popular. But I still support R-A for their superb talent.

in the final there could be only 2 possible results. win or lose. but it does not matter whether they win the final or not as they have as much support as A-S if not more hence they have come to the final. like how u enjoy ur sucess u shud b able to accept defeat gracefully. I can accept if rakhi can behave childhishly but i thot atleast abhishek wud convince her but...... hmmmmm.

they r not the first people to lose a final there were others too. losing here wud not make them losers. but after watching them 2day i can definitely say the high regards n respect i had for them as performers came down crashing as it was a black mark on them.

i am sorry if i have hurt any1 but i am also hurt too.

They tend to forget tht they r in a reality showbiz show/business and here, every single pin drop makes the most and biggest noise...after watching the way JDJ results ended and the way the runner wailed and complained, I was pretty sure, it would repeat here..and so it happened..wht is sad is, even though its applaidable tht people show their real emotions on TV, but they forget that they are professionals while they r on TV,and there is a certain code of conduct tht one should follow being a professional..Rakhi has far let us down on tht...

It is easy to sit out of the competition and say all these. RAKHI took participation in the competition knowing very well how good dance she and Abhishek is and with a wiining mind. No one in this competition is near Rakhi and Abhishek. SO HOW CAN THEY LOOSE.
SHE WOULD NOT HAVE FELT HURT IF SHE HAD LOST TO SOMEONE OF HER DANCE CALIBRE. SHE GOT FULL 10 FOR 7 ROUNDS. JUDGES COULD NOT FIND ANY FAULT WITH THE DANCE.

IT HURTS TO ACCEPT PARTIALITY AND FRAUD. SHE AND ONLY SHE KNOWS AND FEELS. SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE COME AT ALL FOR THE COMPETITION. SHE SHOULD COMPETE WITH ALL GOOD DANCERS LIKE HRITHIK ROSHAN AND PRABHU DEVA LIKE DANCERS AND THEN LOOSE OUT IT IS FINE.

AMIR AND SANJEEDA DID GOOD JOB AND REACHED SO FAR. I DO NOT BLAME THEM . BUT IT IS NOT MASSOOMIYAT COMPETITION. IT IS A DANCE COMPETITION. VOTING IS FOR DANCE DEAR. AND SALMAN KHAN........ IT IS BETTER NOT TO TALK ABOUT HIM AS HE IS A NON DANCER.

IF HRITHIK LOOSES OUT IN DANCING TO HIM THEN ONLY I WILL TALK ABOUT HIM.

ABHISHEK IS SUPERLATIVE. SO HOW CAN THEY EXPECT DEFEAT.

SHE IS RIGHT STAR PLUS CHEATED HER. READ MY POST ON THIS ISSUE.

IF ANYONE IS GENUINE FAN OF RAKHI PL DONOT GO WITH THE WIND. UNDERSTAND HER FEELINGS. I AM SURE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY IF SHE LOST TO VAIBHAVI OR ISHA.

IT REALLY HURTS WHEN YOU KNOW HOW GOOD YOU ARE. AS STILL A LONG WAY TO GO. THIS TROPY AND TITLE GO WASTE.

IF THERE IS A LIVE STAGE SHOW HERE OR ABROAD I DOUBT ANY ONE OF US WHO LOVES DANCE WOULD GO . YES THE COMMUNITY WILL DEFINATELY MAKE A RUSH TO ENSURE TO MAKE IT A SUCCESS.

WHAT IS TINA AND HUSSAIN DOING TO DANCE. ALL WASTED.

RAKHI EVEN AFTER ALL THESE IF SHE HAS AN ALBUM NOW ALSO WILL SALE OR HER SHOWS. SHE IS SINCERELY CONTRIBUTING TO DANCE AND NOW SHE LEARNT A LOT AND IMPROVED AND WILL GO A LONG WAY FOR SURE.

MOST OF HER FANS ARE NOT SO WEAK MIND TO FOLLOW THE AAM JANATA MIND SET AS IMMATURE, NO SPORTSMANSHIP ETC. THEY I AM SURE WOULD NOT GO WITH THE WIND AND GET INFLUENCED OR CARRIED AWAY BY ANY COMMENTS ETC. ON RAKHI. THEY HAVE THEIR HEAD ON THEIR SHOULDER.
