On marital dilemmas and candid confession

On marital dilemmas and candid confessions - TellyScope

I still haven't got over the Thursday night episode of Nach Baliye. I mean, haven't seen something like this gyrate the screen in the last so many years. An awesome show, sexy, sleek, glamourous, slickly produced in every sense of the term - the sets, costumes, script…
I think, more than that, the concept itself rocked. It did not just ride on the popularity of telestars but cashed in on the viewers who are smitten by the reality bug as well. After all, we all know that when it comes to dancing, either you have it or you don't. But Nach Baliye gave an opportunity for tele couples to put on their dancing shoes even if they didn't have it in them. And like any other reality show, the viewers were slowly made a part of the personal lives of the "beautiful people".

For me, the show was not about dance and rhythm but about life really. And life is never really fair, and winning is all about getting your steps right at the right moment and time. The winners (Sachin Supriya jodi) were neither sexy nor drop dead gorgeous; ditto for the second runner up jodi where Poonam is all chubby rolly polly basking in the joy of motherhood.

We all knew it, including the judges, that there were other deserving jodis like Apurva /Shilpa and Varun/ Rajeshwari. But instead the janta voted for the oldest jodis. So, it was all about grit, determination, and the fact that there fought against all odds; considering Supriya with her severe back problem was on pain killers. So, it was definitely sympathy, empathy voting all the way. But whoever said reality shows were only about talent?

It was also a time for onscreen marital squabbles and candid love confessions on the small screen. I hope all these blessed couples continue to find rhythm in their own lives. All I can say is kissiki nazar na lage…

Empathy i can understand, but sympathy? From Round One itself, S-S were the frontrunners for the title. U necessarily don't have to be sexy nor drop dead gorgeous to win. u need to have talent and the grit to see through the entire period. Touche!

I was definitely touched by the ways in which different couples expressed their love for each other. It was so touching.
Anyway, Supriya seems to be missing from the pic. Why? 😕 It was such a nice one. 😭

thanks for the info and we all knew from the round one when sachin supriya got all 30 that they wud be clear winners
but havin said that if varun rajeshwari had been the finalists with them then it wud hv been tough to decide who shud win the trophy thats why i felt varun was voted out by the channel to make it easier for sachin supriya who were good but tough competition with varun rajeshwari
even manish danced really well in the final round and wholesome entertainment was provided in those 3hrs though it was bit dragging

Varun-rajeswari were the most talented from every angle.

if it wasnt for bad luck, only they deserved to win.

i agree that apoorva/shilpa and varun/rajeshwari wer deserving candidates..but i think itz unfair 2 say that they won bcoz of sympathy votez..i mean..if it wz the same situation with maybe rajeev/delnaz then yes id call it a sympathy vote..but with talented dancers like sachin and supriya..i think thats unfair!!!

it's destiny, what can you say or do. anyway, sachin and supriya were very worthy.

I agree too. They exhibited the necessary spunk needed for the occasion inspite of various trappings. Rajeshwari - Varun were very good but i don't feel much abt Shilpa - Apurva. They were ok.
