Aaah...see, that explians what I had been wondering since last night...when Shiamak danced in last night's episode, watch the video carefully, look a little to the right of where he's dancing, and you'll see that in the second song, Puneet knows the steps Shiamak is doing! He picks up when the main line Mohabbat karle karle re...begins, and from then on, it looks like he's one of the chorus of dancers that are behind Shiamak on his stage shows...does the exact steps Shiamak does...look immediately behind Puneet, and you'll see that Vishal and Prashant both know the steps as well...and Vishal has already mentioned the fact that he's been trained by Shiamak...
I don't think it's clouding Shiamak's judgement on the show though...and by judgement I mean what he thinks of a performance...because that apart, he's got no literal 'judging' to do on the show...the only time he praised Puneet specifically was last night, and that too because of his extensions which really were very good...that aside, he hasn't been partial to anyone so far...which is something I really respect...
Cheers! 😊
