Shakti Anand and Sai Deodhar

With Sachin and Supriya winning high points in the second round too, there is trouble brewing on the sets of Nach Baliye.

The younger couples feel the older ones (including Parmeet and Archana)are being favoured by judges Saroj Khan, Farhan Akhtar and Malaika Arora Khan. Sources say actors Shakti Anand and Sai Deodhar are sulking over this and losing out on the sporting spirit.

Old is gold?

When quizzed about it, Shakti Anand says frankly, "It's quite natural that the sympathies are going to be with the older couples. It's human nature to get awe-struck at older couples shaking a leg. I'm sure it overwhelms the judges. But we are enjoying it and not cribbing or complaining."

Archana disagrees

Sachin and Supriya

However, the older block feels otherwise. Says Sachin Pilgaokar, "We can't have control over others' thinking abilities. I think it's natural to feel threatened. You only sympathise with people who are unfortunate and not with someone who is leading."

With Sachin and Supriya's jodi reigning, more couples believe it is the age factor that matters. Dismissing all such possibilities, Archana Puran Singh says, "I agree that at times, judges might give that extra mark or two. But it's not a case of gross over-marking. You can't win a contest like that. At the end of the day, you have to prove your mettle."

Battling it out

An insider says, "It all started as a big picnic, but gradually, the tension is getting to them with the rising pressure and the competition getting tougher. But it's not that bad yet for the couples to get into a fight. I agree Sai and Shakti are taking it a little hard, but at least they are talking about it openly."

While Sachin adds, " It's definitely a healthy sign. When you are envious of someone, it means you aspire to match up to them. Even I've experienced the same thing in my career. It only helps you improve." Adds Shakti Anand, "Neither Sai nor I are frantic to win the show. We respect the judges and their scores."

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad...

But personal favourites aside, its not just being awestuck at how the oldies are shaking a leg, they are damn good at it. Sai and Shakti have lil sense of rhythm and it seems to be a case of sour grapes.

i totally have to disagree.when it comes to sachin and supriya , not only are they able to shake a leg but they also excel when it comes to expressions and keeping it clean. dance is not just about steps and footwork but also about expressions and conveying the mood with body movements.sachin and supriya do great at that point.as for archana and parmeet, they have a bit of edge since they both have some experience of bollywood dancing and also they complement each other very well. as for the rest of couples, they disappoint me except for varun and raajeshwari.most couples either share very poor chemistry on stage or concentrate so much on steps/footwork that it almost seems as if they are doing a chore and not enjoying themselves.also they are so busy trying to create chemistry with vulgar actions, it is almost embarassing (whatever happened to chemistry conveyed by eyes, and keeping the dance for general public).

Yes I agree with you... Sachin and supriya have great chemistry,footwork and so does Parmeet and archana... Only on the 20th episode I thought Rajeshwari danced beautifully and Varun was also too good....
