D3: Sharon hosts a farewell party for Neha... (August 9th, 2013)

Neha tells the D3 gang that she has decided to quit the team. She explains to them that she doesn't feel appreciated staying with the team. She feels as if she will be treated better by the Bhojpuri industry. Sharon agrees with Neha. She tells everyone that even though it is a Bhojpuri music video, Neha has been offered the main lead and that is what matters since they are all aiming to make dance their career. The team decide to celebrate rather than stop Neha. Sharon announces that she will host a farewell party for Neha at her place. Neha is touched by Sharon's gesture. Vicki gets emotional but Nilesh asks him to control his emotions. Sharon asks Swayam to make all the arrangements while she tells everyone that she will inform Rey. 

Meanwhile, Rey is in the designer's office. The designer's assistant is measuring Rey for his costumes when Sharon calls him. He answers her call. Sharon tells Rey that Neha has decided to quit the team. She tells him that Aditya spoke to her very rudely so she decided to take up the offer for the Bhojpuri music video. Rey is taken aback by the fact that Aditya was rude to Neha but Sharon tells him that Aditya and Neha are both right in their own way. She informs him about Neha's farewell party. Rey is glad that Sharon is hosting a party for Neha. He promises her that he will make it for the party. 

Sharon makes decorates her house. Swayam reaches her place with all the food and drinks. Soon the rest of the D3 gang make it to Sharon's place. They wonder if Rey will attend the party. Sharon informs them that she spoke to him and he promised her that he would attend. Finally Neha arrives. The gang shower her with gifts and make her feel special. Neha is touched by their gesture and thanks everyone. She especially thanks Sharon for hosting the party at her house. She wonders where Rey is. Swayam assures her that Rey is probably on his way over. Meanwhile, Aditya comes to Rey's place with the media for an interview session. He forces Rey to give the interview by telling him that this will help promote the music video. Aditya even takes a hold of Rey's phone. 

The D3 gang hang out together and celebrate when Sharon's doorbell rings. They assume that it must be Rey but it is Aashi. She brings with her that gifts that Neha got for the entire gift. She thanks everyone once again for hosting the farewell party for her. She also encourages them to move forward and wishes them the best. Everyone is impressed by her words. She once again asks Sharon where Rey is. This time Swayam wonders why Rey hasn't arrived as well. 

Will Rey be able to make it on time? How will the D3 gang react when they meet Rey? Looks like this is another move in Aditya's master plan to break up the D3 gang... 

So with the farewell for Neha going on, I wondered if Alisha Singh was leaving Dil Dostii Dance. I happened to find this article which states that she is leaving for a dance workshop along with Shakti and Vinti. Hopefully, Alisha returns to the show after her workshop...

D3: Neha decides to quit the team... (August 8th, 2013)

The D3 gang discuss about the costumes. They are upset that Rey is the focus once again. They feel as if they are not getting their fair chance. Meanwhile, Sharon waits for Swayam in the abandoned fire escape. Swayam arrives late and Sharon gets upset because of his tardiness. Swayam apologizes for his lateness and Sharon finally accepts his apology. Swayam asks her why she wanted to meet him. Sharon asks him why the team thinks that Rey is hogging all the limelight as he doesn't need it. Swayam assures her that he doesn't think that Rey is stealing the spotlight. Instead he tells her that the team feels like they are not being given a fair chance which is why they are upset. Sharon also asks him if there is another reason why the team is so upset. Swayam decides not to tell Sharon about Aditya's true intentions as he doesn't want her to get involved. 

The designer comes to St Louis to meet with the team. Meanwhile, Rey meets with the designer at her office to discuss designs and colors. He makes some suggestions about colors and designs but the assistant asks him what he likes and notes those things down.  The D3 gang see her and make their way to the rehearsal hall. Swayam and Sharon too join the rest of the gang in the rehearsal hall. The designer makes harsh remarks about each person's appearance except for Rinni's. The team is stunned that the designer considered Rinni acceptable over everyone else. Aditya joins the team and thanks the designer for coming out to St Louis. Vicki tells Aditya that he has a problem with the costumes that were sent earlier. When Aditya questions him, Neha tells him that the entire team has a problem with the costumes because Rey's costume is different from everyone else. Aditya gets upset and yells at Neha for interfering with his decision. He tells everyone that he is the boss and they have to follow his decision or leave. 

Aditya asks Swayam and Neha to present the routine for the music video right away. Swayam asks Aditya if they can get a hour to prepare but Aditya refuses. He tells them that the routine has to be set with his involvement. Swayam and Neha decide on salsa for the music video but Neha keeps making mistakes. Aditya reprimands Neha for her lack of concentration and trust in her partner. Sharon steps forward and tells Aditya that Neha is making mistakes because she is afraid. She asks Aditya if she and Swayam can present a routine instead. Aditya agrees and SwaRon dance. They present an awesome routine. Aditya is impressed with their performance. He once again berates Neha by telling her that she doesn't have what it takes to be the lead. Neha gets very hurt by Aditya's comment and leaves the rehearsal hall in tears. Vicki runs out after her.

Aditya watches as Vicki runs after Neha. He advices the team to be professional and storms out the room. Sharon runs out after Aditya. She tries to talk to Aditya about Neha. Sharon explains that Neha is very sensitive and he shouldn't have been harsh. But Aditya tells her that he gave Neha a reality check. He tells her that she needs to be able to convert her weaknesses into her strengths and if she can't do that then she will not be able to achieve anything in her life. He also tells Sharon that he doesn't have time to discuss further and leaves. Sharon although disagrees with the way Aditya spoke to Neha, agrees with him that Neha needs to move forward. Just then she gets a text message from Vicki. The gang meet in the projector room. Vicki tells them that Neha has decided to quit the team. The gang is stunned. Neha tells them that she is leaving the next day to film the bhojpuri music video. 

Will the gang be able to convince Neha to stay? With Neha out of the team, who will Aditya target next? Will Swayam be able to reveal Aditya's true intentions before he destroys the entire team? Let's wait and watch...  

Check out the D3 gang talk about their friendship. They also talk about their first impression of everyone when they first met. It's pretty hilarious!

And finally, looks like Vrinda Dawda aka Taani will be back on TV. Unfortunately there are no plans to bring her nack in D3 but check out this article for more info about her return. Wishing Vrinda all the luck for her new project!

D3: Rey yells at the D3 gang... (July 26th, 2013)

Aditya invites the D3 gang to celebrate and have some fun at Smaash. Once inside, the gang wonder where to go first. Aditya suggests that they split up into smaller groups and explore the place. Bharat, Swayam and Nilesh go off together. Neha and Vicki aka ViHa go off on their way while Simmi and Rinni stick together. Aditya asks Rey to stay with him and he wants to discuss some work related things with him. Everyone leaves. Finally Amar appears and wonders where the others are. Rey asks him to join the meeting with Aditya. Although Aditya is not amused he goes along with the plan. Aditya talks to Rey about the future of the group. They discuss about what would be an appropriate venue for them to perform. Amar listens but is more interested in the food that is served to them. While eating, he spills sauce on Aditya. Aditya watches in annoyance as Amar cleans up the spill. Amar notices Aditya's behavior and decides to find the others. 

Bharat, Swayam and Nilesh have a good time playing games. Vicki and Neha also enjoy spending some time by themselves. The girls too enjoy themselves in the club. Vicki and Neha head to the lounge where some other boys act inappropriately. Even though Neha tries to calm Vicki down, Vicki starts a fight with them. All the boys gang up and attack Vicki. Bharat, Swayam, Amar and Nilesh pass by and jump in to help Vicki. Amar stands away and watches the action. Simmi and Rinni also come to the lounge and cheer the boys on. Amar realizes that the situation is getting out of hand and decides to tell Rey about the matter. Rey and Aditya come to lounge. Rey sees the damage and gets upset. He yells at the D3 gang without trying to figure out what happened. Vicki who has had enough, gets upset with Rey and tells him that his behavior is out of line. One by one every member leaves the lounge, leaving Rey alone with Aditya. Finally Rey too leaves.

Aditya watches in amusement as he witnesses the gang have their first major fight. He hopes that he is able to separate Rey from the group as soon as possible. The D3 gang meet at Bharat's garage and talk about Rey's behavior. They are all upset with him for yelling at them in front of everyone. They are even more upset that he didn't even try to find out the truth. Swayam calls Sharon and tells her everything that has happened. He defends Rey's behavior and tells her that the entire gang is misunderstanding him. She assures him that everything will be all right. After al while everyone one get a text message from Aditya. He tells them that they will have a meeting in the rehearsal hall the next morning. The D3 gang wonder what the meeting will be about. They hope that their fight hasn't caused any problems with Aditya. Swayam thinks about the entire situation and doubts Aditya's intentions.

What will the meeting be about? Will Swayam find out the truth about Aditya's plans? Will the D3 gang accept Rey? Will Aditya succeed in separating Rey from the group? Let's see...

Looks like there's a Mega Monday episode happening...

Daily Update: D3, February 25th, 2013

Before going into today's episode, Channel V finally put up the full episodes of all the V for Valentine specials that they had. Now it wouldn't be fair if I didn't post the D3 videos, now would it?!

Check out the D3 gang doing what they do best - Dance their hearts out!

Check out ReYam vent their frustrations about Kriya and Sharon, respectively! I believe this was their first dance together and it totally cemented their friendship. Next up are the boys dancing in the rain during the D3 Monsoon Special. Once again all the boys totally rocked it! Then the entire D3 gang danced together to cheer up Bharat when the AVP insulted him in front of the entire class for not being able to speak proper English. We then get to the D3 gang rock it once again for Vishakha. They created a special dance video for Vishakha's dance school, remember that? The episode ends with the awesome Flashmob by ReYam, Aashi and Nilesh. I really like seeing all of their performances together. It really makes you appreciate how hard they work. Each and every time they try to create something completely new. It must be really tough to be a choreographer for D3!

This time we start out with the boys preparing Vicki for his relationship with the very filmi Neha. I loved how they mixed the songs for this performance. They boys are absolutely hilarious! Next is the group performance during the D3 Monsoon Special. Loved the song and once again they are all hilarious! We also get to re-watch TaaRey's first romantic dance together. Talk about sizzling chemistry. Amar and Vrinda have certainly come a long way! That sizzling performance is followed by the dancers from the Moulin Rouge doing their thing to Chikni Chameli at St. Louis. Crazy Kiya Rey is next! We finally got to see Taani actually dance and it was fun! Hope we see more of her dancing. The episode ends with a beautiful SwaRon performance. Vrushika's first ever performance as Sharon on D3   was just brilliant.



Suvreen Guggal takes us for a ride back in time. We get to re-watch some of the romantic moments in TaaRey and SwaRon love story. I've got to say, the rehearsal hall in St. Louis is the one place where all the romance happens. At first it was the fire escape, but now it's the rehearsal hall! It was really nice walking back in memory lane.

Now back to the present. Let's go over today's episode...

The D3 gang was heading back to St. Louis and getting ready to face the music. They were all prepared to step down from their titles and be punished severely for breaking all of the rules. But in stead they got a pleasant surprise. The Principal and the AVP informed them that their Indiafest performance has become very popular and as a result the name of St. Louis has also become very popular among the youth. Sharon wonders how the authorities found out about their performance. The Principal tells them that their performance videos are all over the internet and that the student body has made it very popular. The AVP also tells them that she has finally accepted defeat. She tells them that she is very sorry for trying to snatch away their passion from them. She also tells them that her work at St. Louis is done and that she is moving on to another college.

The gang is surprised to learn about Khushboo's transfer. They tell her that without her constant hurdles and challenges, they wouldn't have realized that dance was their passion. They thank her for making them truly think about what they want their future to be. Khushboo is overwhelmed by their positive response and tells them that she is very proud of them and their achievements. As she leaves St. Louis, she thinks are her time at St. Louis. How she came in and challenged the students at every turn. She thinks about her decisions and her agenda. She realizes that students need to follow their passion no matter what it is. She decides that from now on, no matter what, she will encourage her students to follow their passion wholeheartedly.

The D3 gang think about all that just happened. Although they are sad about Khushboo's departure, they are happy that they can finally have dance back in their lives. They are excited to be able to follow their passion and make it the center of their lives. They decide to celebrate doing what they love most - dance!

Here's a snippet of today's episode...

Special Update: V Wala Love with D3, Suvreen Guggal - Topper of the year & Best Friends Forever...

So instead of having a regular episode, D3, Suvreen Guggal and The Buddy Project had a crossover Valentine's special episode aptly called V Wala Love. It was completely unique and entertaining. Something like this has never happened on Channel V and this was really good effort. I hope Channel V comes up with many more amazing specials just like this one...

V Wala Love took place on the D3 set. The D3 gang hosts a Valentine Special for all the lovely couples namely Yuvraj & Suvreen, KD & Kiya and Prithvi & Sanjana. They invite all of the couples to the event and prepare special dance performances to depict each of their love stories. They follow the acronym F.L.A.M.E. Each letter represents a couple and their love story.

F is for Friendship. Yuvraj and Suvreen's love story begins with their friendship. At first they hated each other's guts but as time passed on they became each other' closest friends. Whenever Suvreen needed something or was in a sticky situation, she knew that she could count on Yuvi. Slowly but steadily their relationship evolved from friendship to love. Rey and Taani danced to Agar Main Kahoon and very cutely depicted YuvReen's love story! After their dance, Suvreen and Yuvraj took to the stage and danced to Ek Main Aur Ek Tu. I've got to say Smriti and Shivin looked so cute together! I totally loved their chemistry! Let's hear what they had to say about their experience on the D3 set and filming the special episode.

L is for Love. Rey and Taani's story is full of love but also a lot of misunderstandings and pain because of the love. Taani came specifically to St. Louis just so she could be close to Rey. Rey on the other hand treated Taani just as his best friend's sister and nothing else. As time passed, Rey realized that he genuinely cares for Taani. On the other hand, Taani felt as if she was a distraction for Rey. Just when she decides to stay away from Rey, he confesses his feelings for her. And thus begins their love story. Swayam and Sharon portrayed their relationship and danced to Chupke Se. It was really nice seeing Sharon and Swayam finally dancing together and I've got to say Vrushika and Shantanu looked really good together! Later Rey and Taani had their first proper dance as a couple to Be Imtehaan. Check out what Amar, Vrinda, Shantanu and Vrushika had to say about the special.

A is for Avoid. KD and Kiya fit that bill perfectly! They've never gotten along but when they were forced to spend time with each other they discovered something special. They have amazing chemistry but refuse to acknowledge it. KD has finally realized that he does have feelings for Kiya but Kiya seems to adamant that there won't be anything between the two of them. Neha and Vicki dance to Ladki Badi Hai Kamal Ki. It was funny and everyone seemed to enjoy it! It made me want to see more ViHa dances together. Every one of their dances has been very entertaining and fun to watch! Later KD and Kiya set the stage on fire to Aa Dekhen Zara. They totally rocked it! Check out that they had to say about their experience.



M is for Meant To Be. Prithvi and Sajana are totally meant to be together. Everyone sees it except for them! For some reason Sanjana is always weary of Prithvi. Even when he tries to help her, she always seems to misunderstand him and his intentions. Looks like they finally clearing the air between themselves. Hopefully it leads to more that just friendship. Swayam and Nilesh dance to Meri Pant Bhi Sexy. It was hilarious! Macedon totally owned the stage and Shantanu totally supported him! I want to see Macedon dance like a girl more now! Later, Sanju and Prithvi danced to I'm The Best. It was full of energy and masti! Check out their experience.



E is for Eternal. No other couple other than Sharon and Swayam would be able to aptly fit this letter. Sharon first started out hating Swayam. Even she didn't know why she hated his so much. She hated the fact that she was affected by the things he did no matter how small or insignificant. Swayam on the other hand always loved Sharon. When everyone else around him saw her as an arrogant spoilt kid, he always managed to see her sensitive side. He was able to see a Sharon that no one else could. These two are just meant to be together. Neha and Aashi danced to I Love You Bol Daal. Aashi played Swayam perfectly and Alisha totally nailed Sharon's attitude. It was the most hilarious performance of the special! Amar and Macedon were so funny as cupids! Finally Sharon and Swayam took to the stage and danced to Ainvayi Ainvayi and totally blew up the stage. I'll say it once more Vrushika and Shantanu aka VruShan have amazing chemistry!

The special ended with a group dance to Radha. It was awesome seeing the entire D3 gang together after so long. The last time they has a Bollywood group dance was during the D3 Diwali Special. I'm hoping that we get to see more such specials. Check out what the D3 cast had to say about their experience.



They are so cute! I love how they pull each other's legs! It's absolutely hilarious! Love them! 

Daily Update - D:3, December 27th, 2012

Now that we all know who is going to be playing Sharon, Cinevistaas has decided to let all of us know more about the girl playing Sharon aka Vrushika. We get to know about all the hard work that goes behind all the glitz and glam. As per the video, Sharon should be making an appearance some time next week. I'm betting it is going to be on Thursday, Januray 3rd, as we all know how Palki likes to keep fans waiting. Once again, I wish Vrushika all the best and hope that she is able to recreate the SwaRon magic and chemistry.

Enough about the new Sharon. Let's get to the update of today's episode. As you all know, Amar is busy with Nach Baliye. Hence from now on we will not be seeing him on screen all the time. For example in today's episode we see Rey and Taani reflecting on their latest misunderstanding/argument. We see Rey a total of twice in the entire episode. I guess we'll have to get used to that for the time being. Although I am glad that Rey finally realized that Taani does mean something to him and I hope that he is able to make things right between them.

On the other hand, the boys are upset that their 'girlfriends' are impressed by the Welham boys. Their Facebook statuses are all about the Welham boys and their Facebook walls are full of their pictures. Seeing this Swayam gets a brilliant idea. He comes up with a plan to study the Welham boys so that they know what they are up against. The boys as usual are their goofy selves and they totally make up for the lack of Rey! Along with the boys I have to mention the girls - Neha, Rinni, Simmi and Ashi are also hilarious. After watching the Welham boys do their thing, the boys realize that they have a rough ride ahead of them. From the pace of the story, I say most of next week is going to be about the basketball match. I'm hoping for an intense fight to the end. Here's wishing the boys all the best!

Here is a snippet of today's episode...

Daily Update - D:3, 24th December 2012

It's Christmas Eve folks! Hope all of you have an amazing Christmas and an exciting New Year! So for all you loyal Dil Dostii Dance fans, I have a present...

As I predicted, Sharon is finally going to be making an appearance sometime soon. I say we'll all get to see the new Sharon either by the end of this week or the start of the next week. I know for certain that Sharon will make an entrance after this whole basketball track boils over. For all of you wondering, the speculation is that Urvashi Gandhi, Dance India Dance Season 3 alum, will be the new Sharon. Here's a video of Urvashi in action. She's absolutely beautiful and amazingly graceful but I can't really picture her as Sharon.

As I mentioned earlier, it is all speculation. We'll all find out once Sharon actually makes an appearance on the show. Till then we'll just have to wait and watch...

Moving on, let's talk about today's episode. We're back to square one with Rey and Taani. As usual Rey is being his jerky self to Taani. I like how he constantly misunderstands her and then turns around and accuses her of not understanding him! It works both ways Rey. You don't take an effort to understand Taani, and in turn poor Taani has to bear all of your bad behavior. So the Welham's team finally arrives at St. Louis. As a loyal D:3 viewer, you know that whenever an other college team is visiting, they always turn out to be jerks. That holds true with the Welham boys as well. They are cocky meanies. Can't wait for the St. Louis boys to teach them a lesson!

Poor Taani has to juggle taking care of the visiting team and Rey's ego trips. Wonder when she's going to have her breakdown! Swayam on the other hand also has a lot on his plate. This brother-sister duo sure do work hard. 

So here's a snippet of today's episode... 

Daily Update - D:3, December 18th, 2012

Now that the romance is over, time for confusion and misunderstandings to step in - that's the theme of today's episode.

All the boys except Rey, of course, are injured and sore after their daily basketball practice. They are sitting in the locker room talking about how they are going to proceed. Just them Swayam informs them that Welham may be considering their impending match as a professional game rather than a 'friendly' match. Needless to say, the boys are disheartened by this and seriously doubt if they can match up to such a well-known team. In the middle of all this Rey realizes that Taani is avoiding him and goes to confront her. He finds her sitting in the projector room staring at a blank screen. He call her and she promptly ignores his call. Aha - Proof that she is in fact avoiding him!  

Swayam and Aashi watch as the girls comfort the boys and tell them to be confident in their abilities. Aashi makes him realize that he he made the wrong decision by letting his anger towards his father get in the way of helping his friends. He apologizes to the boys and agrees to become their coach and captain. Rey is happy that the team will finally have a chance. ReYam share another lovely bromantic moment! Just then Taani appears and tells Rey that she wants to speak to him.

At first Rey states that he is glad that every thing is finally okay between then. Then Taani starts talking. She basically tells him that he used her because he was stressed and has a lot on hims mind. Needless to say, Rey is hurt by what she says. Sidenote - I predict this misunderstanding is going to last another ten or so episodes until Rey mans up and tells Taani that he in fact does like her... 

Daily Update - D:3, December 17th, 2012

We finally get to witness a romantic moment between Rey and Taani. And how was it you ask? It was short and sweet and to the point. It was done well and I have to say Vrinda is a good actress. She really impressed me with her acting. Amar too did a good job but he has had plenty of practice with Shakti to perfect his romantic swag!

Let's move on with the synopsis shall we...

So Rey and Taani share a TaaRey moment together. Later that night Taani thinks about what happened. She questions herself about Rey's intentions - does he really like her? What was the reason behind the moment? Needless to say she is utterly confused. Who wouldn't be after this happened?

On the other hand, Rey wonders if he hurt Taani with his behavior. He wonders if he acted correctly. The next morning Swayam leaves early for college but not before assuring Taani that she can share her problems with her. Side note - Swayam's behavior is bothersome. He is shown working out and forgive me for saying this but he looks like Bruce Lee - a lean mean fighting machine! The boys try to 'purposely' hurt him just so he joins their basketball team but to no avail. Just then Rey steps in and diffuses the situation.  

Swayam and Rey share a bromance moment after which Rey leaves. I have come to adore the ReyAm moments! They are so cute. Over time their friendship has grown tremendously. They understand each other better than any one else. They respect each other tremendously and work well as a team. Their friendship symbolizes the 'Dostii' in Dill Dostii Dance...

Here is a snippet of today's episode:
