I was watching SBS today and they were showing a preview of Geeta's dance in the forthcoming episode this weekend. No offense, but I found her dance not at all of the caliber needed for a mentor of a show with as high a standard as DID. And the first word that came to my mind upon seeing her dance was 'BASIC'....the steps were simply too basic which anyone could have performed. The irony of which is Geeta had herself used this as a negative com ment on Shakti's classical number...
I don't mean to undermine Geeta's talent but throughout this season I have felt her choreography has been of lower caliber and her attitude even worse. I've never seen her performing any of the dance steps when teaching the contestants in the intro AV's before the performances and there are always other choreographers doing that instead (Deepak from Jhalak Dikhla Ja or Minnie from DPL etc). All the mentors have assistants but Geeta seems to rely more on hers..
Hope no one will bash me for these views lol 😳

There has already been a topic open for this discussion. But I'll post how I feel again.


The dance was average. Knowing that Geeta Ma'am comes from a Indian classical background, I was really expecting a tremendous amount more. I only saw a few classical segments. Jiya Jale is almost the perfect song to perform classical on. I have seen many dances on this song that have really showed a lot of classical. For example:

What better example to give than this? The entire segment she did was pure classical. Again I'm saying this because Geeta Ma'am comes from a classical background so its only obvious that I expected and wanted to see more classical segments, which were missed out. I don't know. Maybe age has a factor in this or maybe its just that she has lost touch with classical dancing and focuses more on bollywood. But I think the entire song should be done in classical. Some non classical moves were good in the act but still I feel a lot more classical would have made the performance even more amazing. Geeta Ma'am is still a great dancer & choreographer. Just had to be honest!

OMG Anu, what have you done??? Wait until her fans barge in and smash ya... Ignore them, else it will be your worst nightmare! 😉

Her costume was even worse!! She should have worn a long Kurti with those Muscle Pants, which are usually meant for men... And should have taken off that big jacket.. She looked as if she is drowned in those clothes and couldnt move freely... I liked her DID-1 finale dance better than this one... Geeta can pull off a nice Indian semi-classical dance well, but this one didnt come to that level... I love that song!
