Akina faces harsh criticism from Remo and Geeta 

Mumbai: This weekend, Sony Entertainment Television’s homegrown format ‘India’s Best Dancer vs. Super Dancer: Champions Ka Tashan’ raises the stakes with unique challenges thrown at the contestants. Hosted by the dynamic Haarsh Limbachiyaa, the show pits Team India’s Best Dancer, championed by Malaika Arora, against Team Super Dancer, cheered on by Geeta Kapur. With the legendary ‘Lord of Dance,’ Remo D’Souza, presiding over the judges’ panel, the stage is set for an electrifying battle featuring twelve exceptional dancers, six each from both the two celebrated shows.

Every week, Lord of Dance – Remo, presents thrilling challenges for the contestants, but this time, things are about to get even more dardnaak! Get ready for “Dard-E-Darwaza” , wherein the contestants will face unpredictable tasks with a twist behind every door. Akina and Florina were faced with the daunting Prop Challenge, which they had to pick from props that Remo had brought with him. Akina chose a shirt, while Florina opted for a bandana/scarf.

Akina’s performance with the shirt prop on the song 'Dil Jaana' was met with disappointment by the judges, who expected much more from her. Geeta Kapur said, "I have a lot of expectations from Akina, honestly yeh act ne mujhe impact bilkul nahi kiya," she said, emphasizing that the emotional impact, which the song demanded, was missing. "Jo props apne choose kiya, mujhe lagta hai ki iska asar mujhpe zyada hona chahiye tha. I am sorry Akina, I expect a lot from you.”

Malaika Arora echoed Geeta's sentiments. "Akina tried to show something different, but maybe the emotions didn’t come across well. It did not match up to Geeta’s expectations, and it’s fine." Geeta cuts in before Malaika could continue, clearly emphasizing that it wasn’t just the emotional disconnect but also the dance that fell short. "Mujhe emotions ke alawa dance bhi acha nahi laga," she said firmly.

Remo D’Souza was particularly disappointed with the overall execution of the act. "Hum log jab bhi comment karte hai hum yahi bolte hai ki aapne koshish bohot achi ki, but especially is show ki baat ye hai ki yaha koshish nahi karni hai, sab log karke hi yaha aaye hai," he explained. According to Remo, at this stage in the competition, it wasn’t enough to just try; the contestants are expected to deliver perfection. "Agar aap shirt ka act kar rahe ho, vo aisa lagna chahiye ki pehle kisi ne na dekha ho. Itna impact aana chahiye, woh nahi aaya," he added.
This week, Akina’s performance did not meet the show’s high standards, leaving the judges visibly disappointed. Will she be able to redeem herself and lead her team to victory in the next challenge?
