Hello Everyone

Hope you are doing great and enjoying this second round of DID. I actually am having a blast as after watching a lot of reality shows I found this one really about the contestants . Congrats to Salman and cannot wait to see the next emerging star from this show.

While here we have high expectations this time around from the judges they have a new challenge too. This time they have a deaf girl Shakti. Initally the judges were not ready to give her a chance and it was due to Sowmya Shakti was brought back . Here are some questions and please remember that its not limited to just this for the discussion

Do you think that the judges made the right decision in giving her the takdeer ki topi

Do you think that the judges agreed very easily without even making her dance for the second time especially when she told them she knew other forms.

Should she not have been sent to Thandoo Pareeksha round to see if she really is someone who can learn new steps easily


Do you think that Shakti will have any problems learning new forms?

What about the mentor? How will she/he do different for Shakti?

The mentor you think she may be able to best communicate best?

What about the janta...will the really vote on her talent or will she end up get sympathy votes

Happy Discussing!!!!

Do you think that the judges made the right decision in giving her the takdeer ki topi

That's still 2 be seen…can only say in the next round

Do you think that the judges agreed very easily without even making her dance for the second time especially when she told them she knew other forms.

Yes, I think they did not want 2 trouble her or sth by having her deal with the stress of the tandu parikshya....plus while there were several good dancers who did not even get into the tandoo parikshya even after pleading and begging so much, she got the topi straightaway

Should she not have been sent to Thandoo Pareeksha round to see if she really is someone who can learn new steps easily

This is exactly what I was thinking thruout the episode….if the judges did want 2 give her one more chance 2 proove herself they shoul have sent her 2 the the tandoo parikshya like the other contestants becoz ultimately this is the major challenge she is going 2 face if she makes it 2 the top 18-learning the choreography in a short time and together with several other ppl …..moreover I doubt if the mentors(and their assistants) will b able 2 give her special attention n focus…

Do you think that Shakti will have any problems learning new forms?

She may have difficulty becoz obviously in a platform like this it is difficult to give a certain individual special time n focus n by the clips it seems she alone learns dance frm her guru and in the competition she'll have 2 do so with several other talented dancers…..but again she has such gr8 will n determination(which I believe is her major asset and 1 that earned her the topi) that I won't b surprised if she masters other dance forms as well no matter how long it takes…

What about the mentor? How will she/he do different for Shakti?

????



The mentor you think she may be able to best communicate best?

Definitely geeta 'ma'….just the way they communicated in the audition and the way geeta mam was able to understand her better…plus women have more patience😳

What about the janta...will the really vote on her talent or will she end up get sympathy votes

Judging by the result of several reality shows where often ppl who r known more 4 their humility than their talent have won and that the ppl of India r highly emotional I do believe she will get more sympathy votes although she seems 2 b a very good dancer…

I wish her all the best 4 her future :)

Great DOTW Priya! I was thinking about this right after the episode, and I totally disagree with their judgement :(


Do you think that the judges made the right decision in giving her the takdeer ki topi

No. They said no to her first, and I don't think they should have given her the second chance.. She performed, got a no, and should have left. It gives the wrong msg to other contestants..

Do you think that the judges agreed very easily without even making her dance for the second time especially when she told them she knew other forms.

Yes! If that was their reason for giving her a secons chance, let her prove she earns it! She should have gone for the choreography round.

Should she not have been sent to Thandoo Pareeksha round to see if she really is someone who can learn new steps easily

Yea, that's about what I said in the previos question :P

Do you think that Shakti will have any problems learning new forms?

Yes. No matter how good she might be, learning a choreography is hard when you can't hear the instructor or ask questions. It's clear she won't make it any close to the finals, so it's stupid to give her a spot that could have gone to someone else deserving.



What about the mentor? How will she/he do different for Shakti?
The mentor as in the three judges? It takes alot of hard work to train her a new choreography for each round. With so many other contenstants, she's bound to lag behind if they give equal amount of time to each participants, and if they give her more time, it'll ruin progress for the other dancers.

The mentor you think she may be able to best communicate best?
She seemed to like Geeta best, and Geeta seemed to be touched the most, so most definitely her!

What about the janta...will the really vote on her talent or will she end up get sympathy votes
I'm not giving any sympathy votes for sure. I feel bad for the other participants who lost their chance. They could have been a dancer they 'misunderstood' as well. Just cause yiu stayed around and shared your story doesn't mean you're a better dancer. She would never have got the second chance on stage if she hadn't been deaf.. Agree she's a good dancer, but her being deaf doesn't make her a better dancer.

This is a reality show and anything is possible to gain advantage with TRP's. So don't expect much than just enjoy the fun.

I'm happy that she got selected, and yes sympathy does come in there. I was really sad to see her cry, and then unable to express her opinion.

And she's one of those contestant who is already a winner. She can dance so well, being deaf, it's an achievement already.

She can use DID to showcase her talent to the entire world. And I don't expect her to make it big in the competition because it will be very hard to teach her, but will get recognition, and a name now, rather than being no one. So i'm happy for that. And I think it wll make her a lot more happy in life.

Also it also helps the show to have these special contestants, as people are more keen to watch them, as they haven't seen that sort of things before.

I think that the judges should have seen one more style of hers and then given her the topi...though it seems she can dance various forms. The T K Topi was given out too easily. But the feather is yet to be given so she has to prove in that round too. and I don't think it will be difficult to teach her or for her to learn new forms. I just saw this guy Vishal on Dance Premier League who can't hear but was one of their best bets. So if the judges decide they can do wonders in teaching special children. I just hope they are not taking her just cos DPL had one contestant who couldn't hear but did wonders....ad for the mentor, I think anyone will be good for her, Geeta is more emotional so it shows but the other two will also do justice if she is a good dancer....
