I have always been a fan of Jai and Mayuresh and was upset that Jai got the least votes, but...If you guys think about, majority of the public voted based on the "overall package" not just dancing talent

Some substantial reasons why Salman won...

1. A very graceful dancer and does bollywood dancing very well

2. Creates great chemistry with girls as seen with Khushboo, Alisha, and also "Shree" (although she was ill)

3. Strong personality. I think this is one of Salman's most admirable traits. He is so modest yet confident. He doesn't brag in himself and even though he knows he is very popular, that "ghamand" or proudiness never comes across his face... To become a celebrity, that is a wonderful trai to have

4. Is able to appeal to the Indian audience emotionally. As many know, Indians are generally characterized as being emotional. It doesnt take long for an Indian to be swayed emotionally...

Now, how does Salman do that? Good question. He thanks "Allah" and his parents almost everytime. The way he went to his parents when he won was simply a wonderful moment. We Indians like it when celebrities (yes, I'm calling Salman a celebrity because he is worth it) respect our parents and have strong faith in God.

5. Yes, looks are important. This could be a reason why so many girls vote for him. But Bollywood is the place Salman is now heading where it is necessary to be good looking, which Salman has.

6. And lastly.... Luck plays a huge role. For example, he garnered top votes when he did not do as well during his last performances (his patriotic act and dance with Shree)

My personal opinion is that out of all the contestants, Salman will go very far, not because he won, but because he has a strong personality and large fan following. I adore his simplcity and modesty and also loved that he so graciously accepted his win. Many people like him a lot because of the way he presents himself, which is very imporant.

*Guys, I'm very happy for Salman even though I really wanted Jai to win since he is the true dancer. What I wrote is just how I feel about Salman's win and am not biased towards anyone. I don't want anyone saying, "Oh, so you have always been a Jai fan and suddenly you are favoring Salman because he won??" This is just an honest opinion of mine*

I totally agree with your reasons and who you originally wanted to win, but I think there is another reason too. Just to reduce the arguing and all, I won't say it. But I know for a fact we all know that reason. :)

True on some accounts. In terms of relating to the Indian audience - all four did. They were all emotional and thanked the Lord as well. None of them seemed arrogant. Looks - well they were all very good looking. Mayuresh is a stunner and his smile would electrify the Indian silver screen - but he didn't win.

Salman was a good dancer. He's strong and preformed many stunts thus he won otherwise what you listed - well it can be argued that all the contestants had.

I strongly agree with your 2nd point. He had great chemistry with all the girls, especially Khushboo.

And yes his attitude made a big difference and the way he presented himself in front of the audiences. Always humble.

Though Jai did that too, but I guess, the audiences couldn't make a contact with him, as he was really quite, and always hid his emotions.

And yes Luck plays a huge role. Like the difference between Salman and Alisha's votes was just a few thousands. So it was anyone's game.

To some extent yes, to some extent no...

In the entire description, you forgot about DANCE... yes, he is graceful and has great chemistry.. where was his versatility? as far as I have seen, he brings his grace in every dance... even in ja re hat natkhat, his torse was stiff...

but since i am not a judge, i will not say much. I am not disappointed, as he is no one to me or that I have no benefits out of this... But at the same time, I am just wondering why zee and the janta couldn't see what others had to offer....

Chalo, koi nahin.. Jo jeeta wohi sikander.. Since Salman won, which I am not too happy about... he's still a sikander.. 😊

Good luck to him in whatever he does. 😊

amazing post 👏👏 Couldn't have it said it better myself. I like all the dancers and say " awwwww" when they perform. But Salman just has something extra. It's not all because of looks. I find Siddesh goodlooking. But Salman!!! he leaves me speechless. The way he presents himself. His sincerity, amazing. I hope he makes it really really really big!!

No Piya, you are right. Salman was sort of used of commercial purposes. and his win was very predictable. although jai coming in last was a big shock

and guys, dont attack anyone. i mean, its a big thing for me to say that i'm happy that salman won when i was always a jai and mayuresh fan
