Nach Baliye contestants air their views on Manav and Shweta buying 200 SIM cards to up their vote scores

Gouri Tonnk, Nach Baliye 2 contestant
I don't believe Manav and Shweta could do something like this. And, even if voting for oneself happens on the show, it is not a crime.


Hiten Tejwani, Nach Baliye 2 contestant
I don't know how to react to that news. It's not against the rules for a couple to vote for themselves. It is all fair in a game. All said and done Manav and Shweta are my friends and I don't want to comment any further.


Gurdip Kohli, Nach Baliye 2 contestant
No comment.

I stand by Manav and Shweta. I don't think they could have done something like this. There is nothing wrong in asking for votes. Last year, even I asked for votes from all my friends. I made STD calls to relatives asking them to vote for me. I even asked net savvy friends to vote for me through the internet.


Varun Badola, Nach Baliye 1 contestant
It is perfectly alright to vote for oneself and the channel allows it. Last year, we made a mistake by not voting for ourselves.

Everybody around us got over a lakh votes while we got just 10,000 to 15,000 votes. If SMSes are vital for judging a contestant's fate, then there is nothing wrong with buying votes.

I am not surprised to hear about this. It happens all the time. All couples vote for themselves, it is just that Manav and Shweta got caught. But telling family members and friends to vote is only human.

i am glad the TV fraternity is standing by them, irrespective. i still feel people (read media) are making a mountain of a molehill.

sorry but dont agree with you becoz if the stars wanna vote for themselves why fool their fans by asking us for votes at the end!!! People watch these reality shows and get emotional and think tht their one vote can really make a difference to their fav's. Well if the stars can BUY votes why fool us audiences!
I totally agree that its human to ask your friends and family to vote for you but buying 200 cards and distributing it to all and sundry seems very similar to match fixing to me!

NO offence to anyone this is just my personal opinion

OMG! that's so bad. if they have voted for themselves then they should be kicked out.

voting for oneself is not the same as distributing 200 SIMs 😉 this is rigging...

well... the stars don't fool the audience and they want their fans to vote for them but by voting themselves also they're just enhancing their chances of staying a lil longer in the show...

anyway it was nice for all the other ppl from the tv fraternity to come up and support them.. they're all united for their colleagues.. hats off to them.

Or maybe they are trying to sweep it under the carpet as soon as possible because most of them have resorted to it one time or another and were lucky enough not to get caught. You know what they say people is glass houses should not throw stones at others.
