I'm sorry to interfere but this show is actually inspired from UK's BCC show called Strictly Come Dancing and America's Dancing with the stars. These shows didn't have any rules that said the participants had to be un-trained dancers.

And as for unfairness, well, there's lots of unfairness in this show.

For example, the kids are less inexperienced compared to their competitors however, they manage to beat most of them despite this.

Also, people like Shaan get saved despite giving poor performances, don't you feel that this is unfair,that people are saving their favourites only because they like them and not because they deserve it?

I think people should vote for anyone they like but when you say one thing is unfair then you have to take everything into account. If trained dancers are there, so are people with huge fan base who will get votes despite average performances.

It's not unfair. It's tough luck.

its totally unfair as behind kids act there are four trained dancers two chreos and two kids who r the winners of a dance show and if salman can be coreographer after winning a show then why kids are contestants ..they should not be in the show...similarly mukti herself is trained and also getting help from her sister and has a coreographer too..means 3 persons behind a single act and same is lauren she is proffesional dancer and a professional dancer has a coreographer [ sorry if u support any one of them .i dont really want to hurt any one by targetting her favorite] ...and behind shaan's and drashti's [ a singer and an average dancer] act there is only 1 coreograher who is using all his mind and energy to inspire judges and viewers so how come this game fair or based upon luck its totally not...if this happens then obviously the viewers will use ther sorces to save a targetted person ...and as per my thinking if competition is among all dancers or all non dancers it gives a good entertainment as just dance did...that show defines what dance actually is and what is the meaning of theme and choreography...as far as i think jdj is only for gaining trps for channels and making people struck with the show by bringing some good dancers ,some bad dancers, some popular dancers,,,, its just a mess on name of dancing ...judges even dont know what dance actually is..and contestants are more trained and popular then judges...

Yes it's unfair that the kids have extra help. However, so do all the other contestants. All contestants have assistants to help them except for Lauren & Punit which doesn't matter as Lauren is trained so Punit doesn't need one.

And I know you don't want to hurt anyone, I understand you're just trying to express your opinion and that's absolutely fine but I am also simply defending my favourite (I'm sure you'd do the same for yours). This show has always had professional dancers taking part (like Isha last year) and Lauren is just one of them. This show doesn't have any strict rules saying that untrained are not allowed. I agree trained dancers have an advantage but just because they are trained, everything is not easy as 1 2 3 for them. And did you even read my reply properly?

If trained dancers have an advantage, so do people with huge fan base as they will get saved despite poor performances. And you may feel that you're voting just because you think they are 'targeted' but that is not the case. You clearly like Drashti and that is the soul reason you vote for her. I have no problem with that (however unfair that is) because of course you're bond to want to save your favourites. But then don't go bringing others down. Concentrate on your favourite.

As I said before, it's not unfair, it's tough luck to both trained and untrained.

And of course this show is more about entertainment than dance. They don't care about the dance, they just want to get more TRPs and money of votes. That is why people like Madhuri are there. To gain more viewers.

Btw, I respect your opinion because unlike other fans, you have not stooped so low as to hate the contestants and write negative comments. It's better to love than hate :)

I don't feel any of the pairs should have both being professional dancers, Mukti, the kids and Lauren should not be in this competition because they are accomplished dancers already competing with non-dancers doesn't seem fair to me, the skills the Kids and Mukti have displayed the flexibility in particular, but also other things like balance after a lift the steady footing, hand movements can only be attained if you have been dancing for years not just a couple of months like the non-dancers.

I think the makers of the Jhalak show need to rethink why it's necessary to bring both professional dancers in a pair to be contestants in this competition, if they want to show the audience and viewers at home some nice dance routines which have been done to a high standard why not consider the option of having the choreographers pair up for three routines each night just for wow factor only and encourage the nation to dance if that's the objective they have of bringing them to Jhalak, but they don't have to have both professional dancers in a pair to be contestants because it's not fair to be competing with the non-dancers. In the UK where the rights of the show were bought from the BBC, their version I've seen each night the pair up the choreographers to dance a routine and the audience are happy, the same choreographers taking part in the competition with the celebrities which are non-dancers, so for example you would have Punit and Sneha doing a routine on a Saturday as well as a routine with their respective celebrity which is the contestant.

Hi everyone,
I've been following this forum really quietly but I am definitely a HUGEfan of this show (I've only seen this season) and I noticed something really strange.This show is created for non-dancers ("dancing with the stars") then why are professional dancers allowed to participate?? PLEASE don't misunderstand me, BUT participants like Lauren and Shonali & Sumant are obviously going to get AMAZING scores if they're already trained dancers. Whereas, contestants like Shaan, Sana & Drashti started from the bottom! I love all the contestants but this is clearly not fair!!

**SORRY if similar topics have already been posted!
***Please comment & share your opinions! ;)

Edited:
For people who have just ridiculously increased their blood pressure due to the fact that they are apparently "die hard" Lauren fans and I have apparently only raised my finger towards her, you guys need to get your facts straight! Yes, I agree that the American version may have invited professional dancers before but I'm talking about "Jhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa" and comparing both these shows is for sure...a complete joke! There is never a comparison between American Television and Indian Television. Furthermore, Karan Johar himself clarified the fact that this show is for non-dancers when Siddharth was eliminated. And for those creating useless posts about how this topic has already been opened...well I have already apologized for that matter and it is definitely not my fault if you guys are too blind to see the mistakes of the PH and need to be reminded about their faults constantly. Also, I am from Canada and I understand "Dancing with the Stars" much more than some of you expect, so please do not explain the rules to that show to me when some of you understand it after a great amount of thinking!

**EXTREMELY SORRY FOR BEING HURTFUL TO CERTAIN PEOPLE... but it was very heart-breaking to see some posts that some immature illiterate people created behind a computer screen about a regular person's point of view! Seriously, grow up and learn manners!

Whattt??? Just because people here want to give thier opnions on your topic doesn't make them Immature illiterate people, so please don't post such things unless you know them all personally 😕

i m not sure bcs last year there was so much hoopla on isha " y she is participating , she should go in did not in jhalak " ...she got bashed badly for being a trained dancer , especially from a certain fan group , daily there was a new mid to create bashing topic on esha , though that fan group fav won but all were disappointed bcs an untalented , poor dancer won

so it's very confusing point

Check-out Karan Johar's words to Siddharth when he was eliminated, he clearly stated the show is for non-dancers. Unless you guys Kjo also doesn't know the format of the show? LOL

Off course kjo isn't defining the concept of the show. And don't quote a judge to justify official view of the show...quite childish 😆 Read the official statement of the channel to get the concept of the show. Ya if he meant that then it's LOL ... But if he said for Sid's dil ki tasalli, then that's at a different level...u are quoting things out of context ..😆

As far as dancer v/s non-dancer logic is concerned, firstly the show does not stop them so technically they are eligible. Now with marks and votes having 50-50 weight balances the offset of popularity v/s being a dancer. My problem is two folds:-

1. As far as judging is concerned, how can anyone compare a dance of Shaan or Sid v/s that of Lauren. In absolute terms if Lauren gets a 30 Shaan cannot get more than a 20. Now before anyone gunning me, it is same as Shaan and Lauren entering a singing competition. Another problem is do they see the progress of a dancer then a Shaan or a Drashti would surely progress much more than Lauren because they are starting from a much lower level. On the other hand Lauren would always have much more wow factor in her dance and would be more consistent.

2. My second problem is when there is a 50-50 marks and voting weight the two offset each other then why have a dance face off. Because what that does, that nullifies the votes given because a dancer like a Lauren is almost assured of a place in the finals even if she gets 0 votes every week because no one can beat her even if she performs at her 50%.
