| | | | Keerti Gaikwad and Sharad Kelkar | The inevitable has finally happened. After two successive escapes from elimination, Keerti Gaikwad and Sharad Kelkar are finally out of Star One's Nach Baliye 2. In the episode shot in Film City on Wednesday evening, the Kelkars failed to edge out Gurdip Kohli and Arjun Punjj, who were in the bottom two along with them.
Voted out
Says an insider, "While the votes were being cast, Keerti and Sharad looked relaxed because they thought that they would complete a hat-trick, considering most of the co-contestants are their friends."
But it's clear that the other contestants have taken judge Kunal Kohli's comments from last week seriously. After Narayani and Gaurav Chopraa were booted out, Kunal expressed his disappointment over the contestants having voted for their friends instead of the better dancers. He had said, "The better couple has been voted out."
With Sharad and Keerti gone, Gurdip Kohli and Arjun Punjj are now at the bottom of the list. Insiders insist that Hiten and Gauri are now leading the pack, followed by Shweta and Raja. Hussain and Tina are third, while Tanaaz and Bakhtyaar, who've been rocking the stage, have found themselves on a wet wicket.
Gurdip says, "Arjun and I were not nervous when the contestants started casting their ballot. It's a game. Only one of us will win and we are well aware of that fact."
Interestingly, Keerti and Gurdip are close friends.
Sharad: We're still in
When we spoke to Sharad, he refused to admit that he was out of the show. "Tanaaz is out. She had a fall yesterday," he said rather cheekily. The moment we told him we were going to quote him, he said, "I'll call you back. I'm entering a meeting."
Of course, the call never came. |
