Let me start with congratulating Faisal who is undoubtedly a fabulous dancer. I don't want to discredit him in any way. This is my first topic on this forum and I simply want to talk about our girl.
As a fan, I have always enjoyed watching Sanaya whenever she performed in award ceremonies and other events. The reason being Sanaya enjoyed dancing and I enjoyed watching her despite the fact that her dancing wasn't perfect.
I was never particularly excited about Jhalak because I don't follow reality shows any way. But this was the only show Sanaya wanted to take part in due to her love for dancing and she declined the offer participate in the past because of work commitments. This time around, she didn't have any other commitments...so she agreed to take part.
And being a fan, I decided to watch.
But I honestly didn't know what to expect.
She had a fairly weak start. Her 'lovely' performance wasn't good. I didn't know whether she would improve or how much she would improve.
I must have really underestimated her. Because if I didn't, I would have remembered how Sanaya puts her heart and soul into everything and that it wouldn't be any different for Jhalak. But she took every criticism in her stride, accepted every comment from the judges with a smile and worked hard. And she delivered.
From her Mujra, to Banno, to Chaplin, to that 'impossible' aerial act...I still don't know how they pulled it off... followed by the sensous act, dheere dheere etc. She gave many memorable and versatile performance and proved she isn't just a pretty face or a popular celebrity. She earned her marks. Sanaya Irani, who was a 'non-dancer', learned and became a 'dancer' through this journey.
Despite my initial apprehension. I started believing she could win.
Along with that, she made the judges and audience laugh and made some wonderful new friends on set. Even her 'non-fans' came out praised her. Many people who didn't like her or had a different opinion of her, changed their opinions about her after watching her in this show.
I don't buy for single minute all the rubbish that's being said about Sanaya having a cold war with Shamita or that she wanted to replace Jai. All the contestants must have been so busy with their own practices, where is the time to have a war with someone? And if she really wasn't happy with Jai, why would she put all her trust in Jai and do that risky aerial act? Knowing Sanaya, all that is nonsensical for me.
The only thing that breaks my heart is what Sanaya said about never winning anything. Those of you who have only watched Sanaya might not know what that sentence means. It's not the first time we have heard it from Sanaya. It's not all about winning this competition. It happens every time. I just don't understand why this happens. I guess we're just unlucky that way.
So that really, really hurts...and I am not going to lie and deny it.
Sanaya dear, even if you didn't win the competition this time, you've won countless hearts. And one day you'll definitely win...and you'll win it big. I still believe in you.
Till then, you have friends and family and your fans who love you. And to us, you're a true winner.
