So, I read a new article posted on TOI with Mukti saying that she is an untrained dancer... she has claimed several times in the past that she has trained under Terence Lewis, so I don't understand why she claims to be untrained?

An article from 2010:
After Shakti Mohan, it's Mukti to steal the limelight..
If Shakti Mohan is one of the top contenders to win this season's Dance India Dance on Zee TV, her sisters Neeti Mohan and Mukti Mohan are in no way less talented!!
For the uninitiated, Neeti has gained appreciation by being one of the singers in the 'Aasma' band, and has also been part of Shankar Mahadevan's team in Star Plus' reality show Music Ka Maha Muqqabla.
And now, Shakti's youngest sister Mukti Mohan is all set to take centre stage in Star Plus' Zara Nachke Dikha. Talking about it, Mukti Mohan tells Telly Buzz, "I am very excited about being part of such a big reality show. Working with so many renowned celebrities in itself is a big challenge and I would love to learn from them".
Though this is Mukti's debut appearance on television, she is getting pampered by one and all as she is one of the youngest participants in the girls team. Talking about her talent when it comes to dancing, she elaborates, "I am a trained dancer, and I have learned various dancing styles like Ballet, Contemporary style, Hip-Hop and also Bharatnatyam for 9 years. Currently, I am teaching at the Terrence Lewis Academy. But dancing on such a platform as Zara Nachke Dikha is a huge challenge and I am looking forward to it".
We really hope that Mukti Mohan utilizes the opportunity to showcase her talent!!

And the recent article:
"Shakti is my best critic" : Mukti Mohan
Beautiful and talented Mukti Mohan who is currently winning audiences' and judge's hearts with her electrifying dance moves in Colors'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa- 6, claims that she's not a trained dancer and that her sister Shakti is her best critic.
"I am giving my 100 percent to all my performances. I am not a trained dancer and whatever I have learnt is from my sister Shakti. My sisters have always been on my side. Shakti always helps me and gives me suggestions to improve my dance. She is my best critic as she always corrects me whenever I go wrong," shares Mukti.
Mukti who has earlier tried her hands at comedy with Comedy Circus and has also participated in a dance reality show Zara Nach Ke Dikha is not afraid of being compared to sister Shakti, "I know comparisons are bound to happen as Shakti is a fabulous dancer and has also won a dance reality show but I don't look at it that way. I learn from her in whatever possible way I can. She keeps telling me don't look at others just be yourself. This is only mantra that she has given me. I know everyone has a lot of expectations from me as I am entering one of the biggest dance reality shows. I believe every reality show brings the real you. So I am just going to give my best and above all I think this is a best learning opportunity for me. I am going to make a best use of it," concludes Mukti.

Here's proof that Mukti trained under TL (since everyone in this topic is saying that the only training she got was from Shakti and not formal)

Everyday, we would catch the 6.49 am train from Malad to Churchgate (College), rush to Juhu for dance class before reaching home. We had one cell phone between us. Shakti didi and I would conceptualise, choreograph, copy moves from contemporary dance videos."
