I watched the episode with his rang de basanti dance again (due to which he said all those nasty comments).. dude, he should've been out even BEFORE rati got out. farah and sanjay were right that he left his dance moves halfway thru. he DIDN'T perform well at all. you can have a bit of bhangra in any dance, but farah pointed it out that he started well, but then went downhill from there since he ended up doing more bhangra than samba. she was completely right. he left his moves several times (not just during the tikka scene which was totally ridiculous during the dance), but at other points as well.
As a matter of fact, there's only one performance of his that i liked. Mahesh, whatever gimmicks he may have, has always been synchronized with his dancer and is an Entertaining dancer. REmember that Shilpa always gave him scores that he deserved.. she never overdid it. So for Akash to go off on the deep end like that was NOT classy at all.. was childish, and was utterly nauseating. I was cringing with every sentence he spoke.
