So… the show has closed finally now.. no more acts to witness.. but gotta do this one final thing for this one kido who was my saving grace during some really serious stuff i was going through in my life.. he was the light, the smile, the reason I’d go on everyday.. my sun..
SANCHIT.
Masti me ghume ghume ghume ghume A-haa-haaaa
Ye jalwa haaye haaye haaye haaye A-haa-haaa
Jalwon pe chhaaye-chhaaye-chaaye chhaaye paa pa-raaa
(Sheher ki ladki act was my turning point with sanchit. I just loved this kid from that moment onwards)
Onto the finale-
Damn Vartika! We have immense respect for a young girl who decided to leave her comfort zone despite the immense popularity and fame she already had. Seeing her in her element, noone, and i repeat NOONE can compete with Vartika. But this season earned her respect, i feel. I shared so many opinions with other people about her “sexy dancing” when she was with tiger, but sanchit was her ball of light just like he was for me. He challenged her, and she took it like a champ. No, she didn’t create a mini-me.. nor did she stay in her comfort zone all season. Despite criticisms that could break someone as popular from inside(not to mention, the ONLY choreographer who got criticism).. she didn’t stop trying.. i hope people learn WHAT Vartika is all about. She is about accepting challenges, learning from your mistakes and yet keep the biggest smile in the world. Her solo was outstanding, and i hope reminded everyone that she truly was, is and will be the most captivating dancer on this show.. because she is absolutely PHENOMENAL by herself.. and yet this 21 year old girl is much much wiser than many on this show. She is going places, and I’ll be her biggest cheerleader. Love you Vartika, love every thing about you and everything you represent in this journey.
And then he entered. With the absolute best setup according to the act. His little face peaking from the plane. So tiny, yet so powerful. I remember listening to hairat in july and thinking it’ll look amazing on sanchit, and isn’t he just the gift that keeps on giving? His energy, power and technique were on point with the song.. the parts which required slow motion were exactly that, the parts that needed power and swiftness were that.. then nayan tarse came.. and i cannot emphasize how beautiful these songs look on sanchit.. with unique beats and vibes.. vartika joined him here and together they created the atmosphere of 2 superstars. Finally, bezubaan. Need i say more? Once the beat hit, sanchit was ready to end the show with a bang. Shut up the haters once and for all. This solo had completely different steps and execution as compared to the first one. It was even better than the first one, is that even possible? But Sanchit is the only one who can out do himself. The best finale act i have ever seen.
When raghav went and touched his feet, he was so humble about it. He is so graceful and so polite when people praise him.. i have always admired him for it. There is a place for everything, and he already knows that. The battle was everything i envisioned it to be. Raghav did his iconic signature steps and sanchit added his sanchit style to it, making it one of the most epic battles of all time! A lil 10 year old, writing a legacy! To think one second he is wondering whether to take off his jacket, and the other he is killing raghav in battle. The judges made a seedi for him and he went through that with raghav.. the highest form of honour that has ever been given on the show. Every now and then choreographers will make one, or the kids will join.. but this maestro deserved one from the judges. The version of title track was the tipping point for me. I cried when that was happening. Sanchit left the stage giving it his all, as did Vartika and I’m sure Sameep too. No matter who you support, it isn’t easy to forget Sanchit’s finale act. No excuses, nothing to cover up, noone to defend. He did himself proud. He shut everyone up and put his fans through all sorts of emotions as he did his bit. He out did himself. And that was the biggest reward as a sanchit fan.
As his third position was announced, he was almost jumping with joy. He was proud of himself. And i was proud of him. No tears, no fakeness.. nothing. And considering he is never able to hide his true feelings because of the very expressing beautiful eyes he has, he truly looked like he was beaming. So many debates, banters and what not.. but my baby was happy.. so who am i to not be happy? I was just happy seeing him happy. This position doesn’t dictate his true position in the show, nor his potential. He came in SD3 to get rejected, and left this time as one of the most celebrated dancers of the season. His smile spoke of how his heart must have broken during his rejection, and how he has surprised himself with how far he’s gotten this time. Not gonna use the very iconic word ‘deserving’, because that he was. But I’m not gonna carry the deserving to win card around with me anymore because my baccha looked happy AF. Vartika also immediately hugged him.. his happiness is the only thing that matters anyway. Rest is secondary.
Anyway, that was NACHPAN KA COMEBACK AVATAR, SANCHIT CHANANA for us all. I hope everyone enjoyed his performance too and he did us all proud.. but mostly i hope he did himself proud. His dad was crying, so was i. In the show, he had a streak of performances which received criticisms.. but he had a comeback everytime. I guess that’s life, there will be setbacks always, but the “COMEBACK IS STRONGER THAN THE SETBACK”. And that’s what sanchit has left me with. After all, he is the comeback avatar! I do not know when i will see him again, but i pray from the deepest corners of my heart for him to get the most love and respect always. May he go places and become the next biggest thing. May everyone know Sanchit and Sanchit Style in the future. May he be loved and appreciated always for everything he is. Mostly, may he never give up the fight.
I’ll leave some lines from the song bezubaan that remind me of sanchit below, because, well my kid has left a legacy. I will never forget him.
jaan le ki kismat ne baante hain, raahon mein kaante
aur main bhi hoon ziddi, aaun kismat ke aade
na roke rukoon, tu gira main uthoon
pinjre todkar failaaunga main par
tujh mein jitna hai zor, tu laga le, magar
hans ke kat jaayega, na jhukega ye sar….
Here’s to Sanchit Chanana. His dance. His precious laughter. His heart of gold. And Beat kill, His Legacy.
