02/11On his journey
In two weeks time I realised I can pull this through and once that feeling I got I started gathering a lot of confidence. I started enjoying the process and started performing. With that week by week I started building expectations in my head that I’m definitely going to the finale.
03/11I don’t remember what the judges said to us while I was eliminated
When this was happening, I wasn’t listening to the comments. I was only thinking about her and the final moments are blurry. I don’t remember what the judges said to us. I was only thinking about what I would say to her and I didn’t want to see her leave. Then the marks came out, it did not sink in. I hugged everyone, left and said goodbye.
04/11Was worried about Sangeeta - Not once did I think it could happen to me
Disappointed is a very small word that I felt when I got eliminated. Sangeeta has been my darling and since day one, I’ve really liked her. When I started to talk to her I felt like she was one of my cousins. On that day when we both were in bottom two I was feeling terrible about facing Sangeeta and kept thinking what if she gets eliminated. Not once did I think it could happen to me also standing there on stage.
05/11Divyanka got worried for me
Divyanka got really worried and she was like “Oh my god what can I do for you, how can I make this better?” I told her you can’t, there is nothing that you can do, it will take its time one day, two days, I don’t know. At this point if you ask me to be okay I can’t be. I told her this was my rock star waala heartbreak. My first painful heartbreak. I wasn’t expecting it at all, it was like a road accident. I was riding at a decent speed and suddenly a car came and hit me. It just ended there.
06/11It just happened all of a sudden and I was not prepared at all
I was not expecting my elimination, even my family did not see it coming. It just happened all of a sudden and I was not prepared at all. When I started I felt I shouldn’t do it this year and instead take time out, be prepared and all geared up to dance. But as soon as I started within a week or two I realised, I’m preloaded for the show and was underestimating myself to a large degree. Dancing is all about mind and body coordination and once you have learnt it in the past, it comes to you like cycling.
07/11I was not working for three years and I had a point to prove
I met people backstage and I knew everyone liked me in the production department as I shared a close bond with everyone. I was the first person to come and last person to leave every time. I was doing double shifts for this. As I said, I waited too long for it. I was not working for three years and had taken a sabbatical so I had a lot of fire in my belly. I had a point to prove that I can do this.
08/11People from production team hugged me and cried
I shared a very good bond and while I was leaving two people from the production hugged and cried. They told me we have worked in different seasons but we have never encountered a more hardworking and dedicated person than you. You didn’t deserve to go. I was keeping myself strong and didn’t cry when they were crying holding me. I was taking it like a sportsman and told everyone I met it’s fine.
09/11Maine Ek kona pakda and main phoot phoot kar roya
Then I reached home and only Divyanka and I were there at home. Maine Ek kona pakda and main phoot phoot kar roya (I sat in a corner and cried inconsolably). I cried inconsolably and I have never cried like this ever before. I had relationships in the past and I’ve always been proud of myself that I’ve control over my emotions. I don’t break down that easily.
10/11Heartbreaks have never taken a toll on me, but this was the first heartbreak
Heartbreaks have never taken a toll on me, but this was the first heartbreak where I cried inconsolably. It was not just that night, next morning I woke up and I cried in the morning, as the day progressed and I realised that there are no more rehearsals, I again cried. There was a void and I felt hollow. In the evening while having tea, I again cried.
11/11I’ve come to terms with it and it was a beautiful learning experience
I had my vision, mind set and was preparing for the future. Main mehnat kar raha tha aage ke acts ke liye. Now, I can joke about it as it's been a few days and a week has gone, I'm absolutely fine. I’ve come to terms with it and it was a beautiful learning experience. This was the one thing that I was missing in my life. It’s beautiful.
