Mouth wide shut!

Gurdeep Kohli and Arjun Punjj With the competition getting tougher, the tension in Nach Baliye 2 is also increasing. Apart from the fact that the contestants are now questioning the new format of elimination, some of them are even upset with the judges. Gurdeep Kohli has joined that bandwagon. You are upset. Yes, I am. I don't know what's happening. Why are we being given marks lesser than what we deserve? Not only my fans, even the people on the sets are saying that. We are not being criticised for our dancing, but yet our marks are being cut. Saroj Khan is complaining about my mouth being open when I dance. But isn't it unfair to cut my marks because of that? Go on... The judges complained that in the second round both Arjun and I lacked energy, but in both rounds we feel we've been underscored. Everybody is telling me that we deserved more than 22 and 20 in the first and second round respectively. We feel that we deserved 25 in the first round and at least 26 in the second. The couples that are not dancing well are getting more marks. We are giving variety, unlike what others are dishing out, but yet... Like who? I don't want to take names. The audience is not foolish. Why didn't you tell Saroj Khan that dancing with your mouth open is one aspect of your dancing? How can I tell her that? She is giving me marks. I have to make her happy. You told her that you'd stitch up your mouth and come in the next round… That's exactly what I'm going to do in Round Four. It's the comedy round and I can afford to take that liberty. But after this, will you keep your mouth closed? I'm going to work hard and keep smiling. When you put in energy and dance, one's mouth does tend to open. That's not the case with only me. There are so many people who dance with their mouth open. Many of my co-contestants are surprised that this is being held against me

Thx..uff this competition has only just started and most of the couples are getting so touhcy, if you cant hack the criticism then you shouldnt have taken part. This is wot i mean by NB2 being surrounded by drama, as the majority of the contestants are so well known being actors and are popular etc so their ego's get affected when thier marks are low. This is only the beginning, there can be only one winner and i hope its the couple that truely deserve it for being gd humble dancers.

True.. I agree..

For a dance competition like NB.. I think celebrities should leave aside the 'I-am-a-celebrity' tag, just be themselves and enjoy the entire process. I understand jealousy and insecurity seeps in, but then.. its not like NB is something that will make or break their career. All are successful in their own right..

all i can say is dat saroj is mad
this woman has gone crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
wat is this thing wid mouth open
tfs
gr8 article

Hi Guys ,

I think saroj khan has been unfair to this couple gurdip arjun . They deserve better than 20 or 22 . Ansd gurdeep is right in saying that what is it with her mouth open . she dances better than shweta not tiwari . and also tina and gauri .

Maybe Saroj Khan is a bit unfair on them. But I don't like the way Gurdip is sugary to her on stage ('oh my god, she's so good!') and then badmouths her in a newspaper. Won't help her marks any if Saroj reads that, will it? Why can't these people be a tad more dignified? 😕

thanks for the article....i always feel gurdeep and arjun are not being judged properly... 😕

i agree with gurdeep..i think they r rely gud dancers bt are marked unfairly.....tnks 4 the article!

I agree with u ekta.

They shd forget tht NB is just a part of their life , they have to move ahead of it once it gets over...
