After his ouster from 'Jhalak...', a furious Akashdeep Sehgal accuses Farah Khan of letting their past colour her judgment

Akashdeep Sehgal created quite a ruckus on the sets after being told that he and his choreographer Bindi Khare were being eliminated from 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa..', the celebrity dance show on Sony TV.
Yanking a mike from Archana Puran Singh, he first turned to former flame Farah Khan and let her know that she had judged him unfairly. He accused her of letting their past relationship cloud her judgement.
Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali was next in his line of fire. "Aap bhi yahan ho aur hum bhi yahan hain," is what Akashdeep is reported to have said. He even told Shilpa Shetty that she had no skills to judge a dance competition and said she kept taking cues from technical director Sandip Soparrkar on how to mark each pair.
"My spirit was being killed by their (Farah, Sanjay and Shilpa's) incompetence in judging dance forms. I was disheartened and expressed myself. I should not have joined this show since Farah was a part of it, but I was hoping she wouldn't be carrying any baggage from our relationship. But I'm glad that from being a complete non-dancer, I have learnt to dance," says Akashdeep.
The only person he spared was his choreographer, Bindi. But Bindi herself wasn't pleased with the actor. "He is a bad loser, is not open to suggestion and his tongue gets the better of him."
