Urvashi Dholakia Miffed With Her Nach Balaiye 9 Elimination, Calls The Show Unfair And A Drama Competition

The competition on Nach Baliye 9 is getting tougher with every passing week and the celebrity duos are putting their best foot forward to inch forward in the race. The recently eliminated Urvashi Dholakia who was paired opposite ex-flame Anuj Sachdeva, however, feels that the process of elimination on the show is unfair. The actress expressed her disappointment over her rather shocking exit from the dance reality show and said it was too soon for them to have been eliminated.

In an interview with Bombay Times, the actress who played Komolika on Ekta Kapoor’s Kasuattii Zindagii Kay called Nach Balaiye 9 a drama competition and felt that her image was misused on the show. Still coming to terms with her sudden elimination Urvashi said, “Well, if a couple has been scoring good marks, which is only increasing every week and there’s a certain vote bank that I know we have, then it’s difficult for me to believe that we were not able to win the love of our viewers. How can a couple be consistently moving up the scoreboard and yet be at the bottom four times in a row? Is this a dance show or a popularity contest? And if we are being judged on popularity, then I am not ready to believe that 35 years of work leads to a low fan base. Where’s the score board to show where each of us stands when it comes to audience's votes plus judges’ scores? If the show was all about young couples, then why bring us in? If you have brought us on the show, then why the partiality? This is not just a misuse of my image, but total disrespect to the hard-earned place that I’ve made for myself in the industry. Anuj and I can’t fight and bicker on screen. We agreed to do the show thinking it’s a dance show and not a bloody fighting ring!”

The actress also suggested that the dance reality show was biased and revealed that some couples on Nach Baliye 9 were even allowed to re-shot their act with the support of the judges after they goofed up on stage. She also said that judges Raveena Tandon and Ahmed Khan took nearly half an hour before revealing their scores. The actress felt that despite drama being a prominent part of reality shows these days a dance competition shouldn’t be judged on the content fed by contestants, “It clearly seems like if there’s no drama, then there’s no prize. It’s not a dance competition, but a drama competition!”.“If washing dirty linen in public is the idea, then there are other shows that one can be a part of,” she added.

Despite the unfair, the alleged unfair treatment Urvashi doesn’t regret being a part of the show and doesn’t want to take up the matter with the producer of Nach Baliye 9 Salman Khan.
