From the start, Terence should have disclosed that Mayuresh was his student rather than portraying to the world that yeh koi naya banda hai... it's rather strange for me, I don't know what you think.
I think it's you who had posted regarding this in another thread... I have seen some posts in this forum early itself that Mayuresh is from Terence's dance academy. So it was no news to me. I didnt feel anything strange - as none of the mentors have mentioned anything about the backgrounds or their previous contacts with any of the students whereas they were already familiar with some of them. That could be part of the show's regulations too, as projecting that aspect to the viewers could cost more for the other contestants, who werent fortunate enough to have some highlights like that in their profile. Anyway, there was a thread regarding the profiles of the contestants in this forum, during end of Feb-early March. In that thread, Terence's manager himself posted his comments, which we all missed to notice as he didnt have disclosed his true ID then. His post is copy pasted below.
"Hi All. You guys have totally lost it. Firstly the contest was for anyone including professionals who wd want to become more than just background dancers for films and stage shows. Secondly, a few of them have taken part in Boogie woogie. So whats the harm. The point is who remembers them from those shows. Its DID that is really making a star out of them as its the first reality show in dance where the focus is not a star but the dancers and his talent. A few of the dancers that were freelancers and may have in the past worked for the mentors were also asked to participate, but guys they all had to go thru the audition rounds like every one. To be honest i was one of the contest and there were a few others too who have trained in Terence Lewis 's academy or Shiamak's but not all made it. Only the best were taken. So I can tell you in first hand that you are taking facts and misconstruing it. Its ok happens to many...The show though is enjoyable and fun. The dances are hatke and not the regular stuff."
