Nach Baliye gave me recognition: Saroj By: A hitList Correspondent December 1, 2005

The nerves and the tension of being in the seventh round are obviously getting to everybody. Maybe that's why, this week's episode was a bit of a roller coaster!
While Varun and Rajeshwari were fabulous, and so were Sachin and Supriya's choreographers, Poonam-Manish and Delnaaz-Rajiv's dancing left much to be desired. I had to warn them, that if they wanted to win, they needed to clean up their act. I like to be frank and point out exactly what I think of the contestants.
No point being sweet and sugary and not telling them exactly what I think because they need to look at those comments constructively and improve their own performance.
Can do better
Poonam and Manish Goyal
I am hoping to see a lot more energy, interesting moves and more enthusiasm to justify their presence in the final rounds of Nach Baliye.
I was disappointed to see some of the couples dancing like kids after reaching the seventh round. I expected a more scintillating and well-structured performance, specially from Poonam, and Delnaaz.
I was unhappy with both — the choice of song and also the choreographer's work. After breaking standards and setting benchmarks, they have to now come across as seasoned performers in every way!
Winning ways
Some couples are beginning to dance like they have already won the competition. They are looking into the camera and the judges, rather than looking at their partners.
The title is not won, till the last dance is over. There is not a single choreographer that I can pick out and say that he or she will win the Nach Baliye show. They have to show me interesting moves and intricate steps — not just expressions or twirls. The show is called Nach Baliye — naach kar to dikhana hi padega!
Yeh kya ho raha hai
But like anybody watching the show, I was shocked when Parmeet and Archana were voted out — I had tears in my eyes. They deserved to be in the top three fighting this battle along with Varun-Rajeshwari and Sachin-Supriya. Even the public who are voting asked me about how they were voted out — and I have no answer.
What Nach Baliye has done for me is that it has brought me the recognition that even 40 years in Bollywood and numerous awards couldn't! I walked into a mall to pick up some groceries. I was mobbed by kids, families and teens asking me for my autograph and numerous questions about Nach Baliye.
Even when I was recently shooting in Delhi with Kajol and Aamir for Yashji's movie, 150 school kids surrounded me for my autograph. I felt awesome!
