"I know it's the saddest thing could ever happen to me," Chaitanya said, "and I really miss everyone from ZND. It's been a week now that I am in hospital because of severe fever. But certainly I miss ZND; it has taught me the ABC of dancing."
He said that personally too he had benefited from being on the show. "I have made really good friends on the show. And I miss them all from bottom of my heart."
What did he miss most about the show? "I miss my dancing!" he said, "It's a shame that I could not perform further, and I really worked hard for the finale. But unfortunately, I won't be able to perform further on ZND."
Chaitanya said that while he missed being on the show, he didn't regret missing out because that was part of life. "Sometime you are all set, but an obstacle comes and stops you and makes you stand still," he said philosophically, "but you move on."
He said he would rather focus on the fabulous time he had on the show. "The journey on ZND so far has been superb and I will miss it. Truly, it was one of the best dance realty shows I did," he said, adding that he learnt a lot about the aspects of dance forms.
He praised the judging to say that it had been excellent. We asked him if he had a word for those left on the show. "Best of luck to all for finale!" he said, "And may the best performer take all with him!"
