First off, let me start by apologizing for my missing post. Yesterday was just a really busy day and by the time I got back home, I was just too tired to come up with a coherent post. So to make it up, I found some cute little videos and interviews that I'll link in this post.
Firstly, I found a cool video about Shakti's calendar launch. This is her second calendar and this year she has completely outdone herself. Last year's calendar was all about a dancer while this year's calendar has a distinctly India theme. The pictures are amazing and Shakti is looks every bit the Gods and Goddesses that she portrays. Here is a link to the launch video. You'll see Sneha aka the old Sharon, Vinti aka Vishaka and Alisha aka Neha talk about the calendar launch and Shakti herself. Along with the calendar, Shakti and her talented sisters Neeti and Mukti also produced this amazing dance video. Take a look...
Here is a link to Shakti's 2012 calendar pics. Click here for her 2013 calendar pics. Shakti has certainly come a long way since her Dance India Dance days and I wish her nothing but more success.
Moving on to Shakti's counterpart, Amar. I found this interview of Amar where he talks about how he's not such a big star compared to other contestants of Nach Baliye 5. It was interesting to hear his talk about that. It's true that he isn't as 'big' as the other stars on the show but he does have his loyal fan following. Ever since Dance India Dance, Amar and Shakti have made a place for themselves in the hearts of people.
Amar and Charlie have been doing a good job on Nach Baliye so far. They were even the most voted couple one week. It just goes to show that as long as one entertains the audience, the votes will keep coming in. Popularity is not the only factor that brings in the votes.
Now let's talk about the episodes. Every thing goes haywire. Nikaf quits the team because he didn't have his way. That caused the AVP to pull the plug on St. Louis entry into Nokia Indiafest. Seems like she wanted a reason to pull the team out and Nikaf's quitting provided her with one. The rest of the team members are shattered to learn that they will not be going. All their hard work flushed down the drain. Sharon is shocked to see that the dancers are so down. She tells them that they should protest the AVP's decision. Just because one person quits the team, it doesn't mean that the other members won't be able to cover for that person. The new dancers question Sharon as to why she is so passionate about it considering she isn't dancing with them. Sharon tells the team that they have to fight for dance. Rey, Swayam, Nilesh and Aashi agree but newbies decide that breaking the rules would be too risky for them. They back out. Now Sharon, Rey, Aashi, Swayam and Nilesh are left by themselves. They try to figure out a plan that will take them to Goa for Indiafest.
Check out the link for the full episode video...
Rey tells the group that he can't hide their plan from Taani and storms out. Later on that evening, Sharon calls him and tells him that he has to spend time with her. She then proceeds to kidnap Rey to Goa! That girl always gets what she wants! The gang finally arrives in Goa and reminisce about their previous visit to Indiafest. After the gang arrives in Goa, Sharon and Rey start arguing. Rey was not happy about having to hide all of this from Taani. Swayam tries to handle the situation. He talks to Rey and tells him that he shouldn't hide this from Taani. He tells Rey that if Taani found out from someone else instead of him, she would be very hurt. So Rey calls Taani but before he could say anything to her, she hangs up. Swayam tries to apologize to Sharon for being too pushy. Sharon as usual ignores Swayam and all of his cute little apologetic glances.
Aashi tries to find out more about the registration process. She tells the group that everything can be done but the performing group has to have at least 6 dancers. Just when they start to lose hope, Vicki arrives. He tells them that they couldn't just sit back and watch their friends suffer. The entire gang comes to Goa to support them.
And finally, before I leave, here is what we can expect in the forthcoming episodes. Looks like loads of Dil Dostii and Dance! Can't wait to see all the dancing, romance and comedy!
Now that the Indiafest track in finally on air, there is more coming up from the team of D3 according to this article. I'm hoping it's something super romantic and exciting. Since it's going to be Valentine's Day, I'm hoping it's something super amazing! Can't wait!
