Why Reality TV is not Reality

Contestant Shantanu Maheshwari is not a non-dancer who is developing his skills on the show. In reality, he is a professional hip hop dancer who has competed at an international level. He should be judged keeping in mind that he is a professional just as Salman is judged at a higher level. Moreover, the choreography from the New Years episode was taken from his routine from 2015 and not Alisha's choreography.

Who even is backing Shantanu and Saying he is a Non-dancer? Rather all of us are saying yes he is a WOD winner so treat him in that way. And about not being Alisha's choreography. Shantanu and Alisha have a team of choreographers (which Everyone does) who help them out in JDJ. Macedon and Nimit who are a part of Shantanu's crew and who won WOD with him (therefo atleast we know concept is there own unlike Salman copying from a foreign show) and I would disagree that the 'whole' Performance was the same as the WOD one. Have seen that Performance a gazillion times and have see the new year epi dance many times too. The elements might be same and precisely 3 steps are same. Other than the costume having similarity nothing else. And yes we would be happy if Shantanu is treated like Salman. Where Salman is always overscored, and Shantanu is always underscored so who wouldn't want a talent like Shantanu get the right respect he deserves!

Its another kind of laughing session when people say that Salman is judged at a "higher level" Makes me wonder if I am watching a different show :P He definitely deserves one award this season and that is for being OVERSCORED throughout the season. And about contestant Shantanu Maheshwari u r talking about, he is a dancer, WOD champ and we have always said it since Day 1. The very first epi of Jhalak he was mentioned as a dancer only by Ganesh Hegde (check that out again) Most importantly, Shantanu deserves to win this season the most 😎

Here is the link of his 1st place performance oat the WOD competition:

Nobody said Shantanu is a non dancer...go check his Jhalak profile on the Colors website. It clearly states that he is a dancer.

No one here said shantanu is a non dancer. We want him to be judged as a dancer. Congratulations for making the joke of the day that salman is judged on a higher level. If u watch the episodes clearly it is Aishwariya who does the whole dancing and salman will be like a prop lifting Aishwariya but he's getting a 30 but shantanu dances for the whole 2 mins and he gets 26. I think they are being lenient with the so called dancer and strict with whom according to u is considered as a non dancer. Yes shantanu is a dancer and he won WOD. That's y we want him to be respected as a dancer the way they respect salman but I know it won't happen. No matter who wins this season, the most deserving contestant will be shantanu. They can underscore him but the public knows who's the best leaving some people who consider salman to be the mj of jhalak.

Contestants are judged as per their dancing level😆. Joke of the year. In this season of JDJ , nobody is judged at any level😆 despite of the fact that S9 contains the highest number of professional dancers such as salman, shantanu, poonam & priyanka, teriya, Nora ...potential non-dancers such as siddharth, shakti,suvreen...decent dancers such as karishma, arjun, swasti...unlike previous seasons but still this season is biggest flop. None of the perfomances can be termed as unforgettable or I can say WOW. Contestants are judged on the basis of their market value and fanbase as public voting is not available this season.This is where shantanu baazi maar gaya. Like D3 ( shantanu's previous show in Channel V) , here he is also a fluke😆. Between the GEC biggies and an established dancer like Salman, a guy like shantanu - who is first timer in mainstream , a simple and sober in nature and personality without any OTT drama, dukhbari kahani or pampering towards female co-contestants , would not have reached till final stage if he wouldn't have an active fanbase. Colors realised this and created this Jaqline-shantanu cutie drama to give shanatnu more footage.
