D3: Rey believes he can win Taani back... (November 20th, 2013)

Sharon tries her best to get Swayam's attention. She follows him around and insists on helping him with the engagement preparations. Swayam ignores her but is always aware of her presence. Sharon hides behind a pillar and watches Swayam as he prepares the engagement location. She makes noise with her payal and watches Swayam's reaction. Rinni calls Sharon and asks her to come to the other room to put on mehendi. On her way out, Sharon purposely drops her payal behind and watches as Swayam picks it up. She reminds Swayam about the rehearsals.

D3: The D3 boys convince Aashi to play Seeta... (November 1st, 2013)

Swayam goes to talk to Sharon. He finds her on the roof top. He tries to ask her why she suddenly doesn't want to play Seeta anymore. Sharon tries to tell him that there is still time for him to reconsider his role. Swayam refuses and asks her what he should tell the D3 gang about her decision. Sharon tells him that she does not want to play Seeta anymore. Swayam meets the gang in the rehearsal hall and tells them that Sharon will not play Seeta. Meanwhile, the D3 gang try to figure out who else can play Seeta's role if Sharon doesn't agree. Rinni and Simmi offer but the boys make fun of them. They ask Aashi but she feels uncomfortable playing Seeta as Rey is Ram. She too refuses. 

Swayam and Rey wonder what will happen if they don't find Seeta soon. They tell the boys that if they don't convince one of the girls to become Seeta, one of the boys will have to play the part of Seeta. The boys are horrified at the prospect of playing Seeta, so they wonder who they can convince. They decide to convince Aashi to play the part of Seeta. The boys find Aashi in the projector room. They make up stories about how upset Rey and Swayam are and emotionally blackmail her into agreeing to play the role of Seeta. The boys go to meet Rey and Swayam in the boys locker room and give them the good news. Rey is in a bind as he didn't want Aashi the one to play the role of Seeta.

D3: Sharon fulfills Swayam's first wish... (August 6th, 2013)

Swayam and Sharon get ready for their first date after Sharon comes back to St Louis. Sharon wonders what to wear when Swayam calls her and tells her to hurry. He tells her not to worry about what to wear and just dress simply. Sharon heeds his advice and dresses in a simple t-shirt and jeans. Meanwhile, Rey wonders if Swayam is really upset with him as Aditya suggested. He sends Swayam and message. Just as Swayam is about to check his phone, Sharon snatches it and tells him to turn his phone off so that they can focus only on each other. Swayam is happy to see her and tells her that she is gorgeous no matter what she wears. Sharon asks him where he is going to take her. Swayam tells her that it is a surprise. He ends up taking her to Bharat's garage. Sharon wonders why Swayam brought her to Bharat's garage but goes along with the flow. 

Sharon asks Swayam why they are in the garage. Swayam tells her about how he used to meet Bharat here and hang out with him here. They used to drink chai together and have a good time. Sharon asks him where they need to go to prepare the chai but Swayam tells her that the chai has already been prepared. He removes a flask of chai from his bag and pours it for both of them. Both of them drink the chai and enjoy their time together. Meanwhile in St Louis, Neha is upset about Aditya's decision. Simmi notices Neha's expression and asks her what is bothering her. Neha explains that she thinks it is not fair to the other girls that Aditya chose Sharon as the female lead without meeting her and seeing her perform. She assures Simmi that though she thinks Sharon is a deserving candidate, she doesn't understand why Aditya chose her over all the others. Simmi agrees with her and asks her to either speak to Aditya directly or Rey about her issues. 

 Sharon asks Swayam about what he used to talk to Bharat about. Swayam tells her that he used to think about her and wonder if they could be together. He even tells her that he used to come here and dream about her. Sharon asks him about his dreams but Swayam refuses to tell her because he thinks that they were cheap. When Sharon insists, he tells her that he used to dream that she would stand on top of the car while her dress flew just like Pooja Bedi in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander. It actually reminded me of this scene when Sharon's car breaks down and Swayam convinces Bharat to repair it. Bharat and Swayam dance in the garage and Swayam even imagines Sharon dancing with him there.

He tells Sharon that he even kept a dress like that in Bharat's garage at the time hoping that she would come there and he could give it to her. Sharon asks Swayam for the dress but Swayam tells her that it was a long time ago and doesn't think that it is still in the garage. Sharon forces Swayam to find it for her. He finally finds the dress and Sharon takes the box from his hands and leaves. Swayam hopes that she didn't get upset. The lights turn off and Swayam calls out for Sharon. Sharon instructs him to turn a switch on and when he does, he sees Sharon standing on top of the car just like in his dreams. Oh the love! It's so good to see SwaRon back together!

After their lovely date, Swayam drops Sharon off and heads over to his place. When he enters his place, he sees Rey waiting for him there. Rey immediately asks him why he is upset with him. Swayam wonders why Rey thinks that he is upset. Rey tells him that Aditya mentioned that he seemed upset by his decision to make Sharon the female lead opposite Rey. Swayam assures him that he is upset because Sharon is Rey's partner. He tells Rey that he doesn't understand why Aditya chose Sharon to be the female lead since he hadn't met her previously or seen her perform. Rey is relieved that Swayam is not upset with him. Swayam asks him why he thought he was upset. Rey mentions that Aditya had suggested that Swayam was upset. Swayam realizes Aditya's plan to break up ReYam's friendship.

Will Swayam be able to convince Rey that Aditya wants to break up ReYam's friendship? What move has Aditya planned next? Let's wait and watch...

Daily Update: D3, May 13th & 14th 2013

Rey sets his plan into action. He tells Taani that he will meet her for lunch hoping that she'll come to the rehearsal hall searching for him. In the meantime, Rey asks Sharon to meet him in the rehearsal hall. Rey tells Sharon that it is finally time to set his plan into action. Rey tells Sharon that he is with Taani only because of Swayam. He complains about Taani's lack of ambition and childish nature. He makes sure to say things that will shock Taani. Taani overhears Rey and Sharon's conversation and is shocked to hear about how Rey feels. She leaves the rehearsal hall in tears. Sharon tells Rey when Taani leaves. Rey breaks down knowing that he has deeply hurt Taani. Taani tries to reason with herself. She wonders what made Rey say those things. Oblivious to Taani's state of mind, Swayam tells her that he is leaving for rehearsal. Taani asks him if everyone will be there. He tells her that he wanted to rehearse by himself but he called Sharon. He tells Taani to have her dinner and sleep off.

After Swayam leaves, Taani calls Rey. She asks him to meet her at her house. When Rey refuses, she tells him to think of it as her last wish. Rey agrees. Taani decides to break up with Rey and make new plans for herself.

Swayam and Sharon meet at the basketball court. They try out new moves for their NDC performances. Swayam guides Sharon as she skates with him for the first time. I can't even tell you guys how awesome it was seeing a SwaRon performance! VruShan totally stole the show with their awesome chemistry. It's really nice watching them dance together because they seem so comfortable with each other. Even though Sneha was a good dancer and had good chemistry with Shantanu, they didn't quite have the same level of comfort as VruShan. And to top it off, they danced to Zara Zara from Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein which is an awesome romantic song in itself! In the middle of the SwaRon romance, TaaRey go through an emotional time. Taani breaks up with Rey. She tells Rey that if he was tired of her, he should have talked to her. Rey tells her that if she wants to break up with him then he too is done with their relationship and leaves. Taani watches in shock as Rey leaves.

Rey is in tears when he leaves Taani. He calls Sharon and tells her that Taani broke up with him. Sharon tells him to stay strong. Just when Rey thinks that he can finally be alone, he is surprised by all the boys. Nilesh. Vicki, Bharat and Amar surprise Rey and tell him that they came over to discuss choreography for their NDC quarters. Rey tells them that Taani and him are not together. The boys are shocked with they hear the news. They vow to cheer Rey up. Meanwhile, Swayam comes home and finds a hysterical Taani. Taani tells him that Rey and her are no longer together. Swayam is in shock and asks her about what happened between them. Swayam decides to meet with Rey. Wonder what effect this breakup will have on ReYam's friendship...

A belated birthday greetings to Alisha! She totally rocks! Hope to see more of her amazing dancing in the future!


Vrushika and her antics! She is so cute!

Daily Update: D3, January 30th, 2013

Looks like the Sharon Patao plan worked but not before Sharon gets wind of the plan. Sharon isn't stupid! She can tell when her friends are trying to force her into doing something. She figures out that all of her friends are trying to get her to become the captain of the new dance team. ReYam, Aashi and Nilesh want her because of her leadership skills. They know that she can get stuff done considering they don't have much time for rehearsals. Sharon doesn't want to be involved because she has sworn off dancing. Just when she is about to walk off, Rey comes to the rescue. He creates a situation which makes Sharon aware of the attitude problem that the new dancers have. She immediately steps into Captain mode and takes charge. After all she can't just stand around doing nothing when her college's name is at stake. 

The whole jealous Sharon scene was hilarious! It's nice to Sharon being affected by what happens with Swayam. Normally we get to see things only from Swayam's perspective but this time we saw a reaction from Sharon. I'm hoping that this captaincy brings back the SwaRon romance. I'm tired of seeing these two fighting. We also got to see some cute TaaRey moments. I'm liking this whole sing-a-song approach that Rey tries to manao Taani. Most of all it's nice to see Rey happy for once. He has finally moved on and found love again. I just hope they stick together and help SwaRon to get back on track too!

Flashback: Last year this time, Rey was trying his hardest to manao Kriya at the group study which was held at Nicole's house. He was goofy then and he is goofy now too! We also see a jealous Sharon once again! Nicole was the one who stated that SwaRon have amazing chemistry. Sharon kept denying it and Swayam had decided that he wouldn't pursue Sharon. Yet everything Nicole talked to Swayam or danced with him, Sharon would be green with envy. It's also nice to see TanHa aka Shantanu & Sneha and ArSha aka Amar & Shakti together.

Also now that Sharon's in, I'm starting to notice that the oldies are starting to miss dancing. The last couple episodes have been riddled with montages of their previous performances. I'm pretty sure something major has to happen before the oldies finally realize that dance is their true calling. I wonder what will happen to the newbies. Today's episode definitely highlighted how much they miss being together in the rehearsal hall doing their thing. I wonder how much longer till we get to see the Indiafest episodes. My guess is at least 1-2 weeks. 

Until then, here's a snapshot of today's episode...

Daily Update - D3, January 24th, 2013

First off, let me apologize for being late! I was working yesterday and when I got home I had the worst headache! I just couldn't think! I just needed to sleep.

Now that I got that out of the way, let's focus on the episode in question. The VP introduces 4 dancers to Rey, Swayam, Aashi and Nilesh. He tells them that they are going to be a part of the new St. Louis dance team. ReYam realize that they have a huge challenge on their hands and decide to face it head on. Meanwhile, all of the other boys and girls go to the rehearsal hall and reminisce about their pat experiences. They are saddened by the fact that they won't be able to go to India Fest because they chose other avenues. That was a really touching scene. Each dancer relived his or her glory days and craved to have that fun back in their current situation. I'm sure that in the future episodes they will realize that it is indeed dance that is their true calling.

Just when they are leaving the hall, the new members of the dance team walk in. One of the guys clearly has an attitude problem and picks a fight with Vickie. And suddenly everyone is arguing. That's when ReYam, Nilesh and Aashi walk in. They calm everyone down and diffuse the situation. Swayam introduces the rest of the gang as the "Ex Team Members" while Rey asks the newbies to respect them.  I wonder what will happen to these new dancers considering they are not the ones who will be performing at India Fest.

I'm glad to see Lipsa! Check out Lipsa do her thing! She was a contestant on Dance India Dance season 3 just like Sneha Gupta aka Aashi. It's fun to spot DID alums on Dil Dostii Dance. I'm glad to see that they get lots of opportunities because of their participation in such a huge dance show.

Moving on, TaaRey have their first lover's tiff. Taani is late for their bike ride and Rey gets upset. It's cute and I couldn't stop saying "Aww" when I watched their scenes. I couldn't help comparing their tiff with KriYansh tiffs. I feel like KriYansh tiffs were very childish but TaaRey are a bit more mature. They are innocent and cute but certainly not childish. I feel like a certain amount of heartbreak allows them to appreciate the simple things in life much more. They don't take each other for granted and truly understand one another. KriYansh was like puppy love but TaaRey is more of a romance. I can't wait to see what happens next. 

So here's a snapshot of what happened in the episode...

Just like Shantanu and Sneha were christened TanHa, I hereby christen Shantanu and Vrushika ShanIka. And to all those ShanIka fans out there, here's something special for you. Looks like ShanIka are going to be making an appearance at an event in Hyderabad. Check out the video for more details...

PS: Don't forget to vote for CharMar aka Charlie & Amar (if you like their performance, of course)! You can call or vote online here.

Daily Update - D:3, January 9th, 2013

All those questions about Sharon's sudden rude/cold behavior towards Swayam were answered in today's episode. Before she left, Sharon made Swayam promise that he never stay away from dance. But everything changes for Sharon. She is forced to stop dancing. She feels incomplete without dance in her life and she doesn't want Swayam to feel the same way. She doesn't want Swayam to stop dancing because of her. So she decides that staying away from Swayam is best solution to her problem. 

I have to say the SwaRon dance to Yaadien was absolutely beautiful! I have to Vrushika totally killed it! It was nice seeing SwaRon dancing a contemporary dance. The song and the dance totally fit the mood of the situation. I must say I'm really like Vrushika. She's really doing a good job. 

The only other time Sharon was shown dancing contemporary was during the Charity Event. Rey and Sharon danced to Apologize. Sneha did an awesome job matching steps with Amar who is known to be an awesome contemporary dancer. Looks like Vrushika and Shantanu will definitely be able to re create the same magic Sneha and Shantanu were able to create previously.

Other than the awesome SwaRon dance, there is some super awesome TaaRey moments. Rey and Taani finally confess their feelings for each other. I'm glad that at least one love story is on track. I wonder what Swayam's reaction will be when he finds out about Sharon's problem. I know he will support her but I wonder what his plan of action will be. Even during the India Fest track, Swayam was the only on who help Sharon gain back her self-confidence. I'm sure he will make her realize that even though she has been told to stay away from dance, she can still be involved.

Finally, take a look at the snippet of today's episode...
