When I read the caption in an article: Ragini Khanna rooting for Gurmeet to win Jhalak 5, I was floored for isn't she the co-host of Jhalak 5? Here, in North America hosts or co-hosts and even judges do not pick favourites and/or root for anyone to win publicly if they are part of that show.
How does Jhalak 5 allow such bias whether in favour or against a contestant by a co-host? The code of ethics should require that they remain neutral and silent at least till after the winner of the show is announced.
Another thing that strikes me as odd is that if Jhalak 5's format allowed for wildcard entries then why is it the fault of these new entries and why is it not fair if they win. If the show made them audition and chose them fair and square to enter Jhalak 5, then what gives Ragini the right to say that Gurmeet deserved to win because he was there right from the start - is she openly questioning the powers that be at Jhalak 5 for allowing wildcard entries later in the show. In my opinion, if wildcard entries are allowed by the show then they should not be disrespected by a co-host the way Ragini Khanna appears to have done so openly before the show ends.
I cannot vote from where I am but I still say, may the best dancer win!
