Sanaya on JDJ8 - Week 7

This week the theme is  Andaz Apna Apna

Sanaya is doing a comic act, with strong shades of Charlie Chaplin. Strike that - she is doing a Charlie Chaplin act ... which has to be one of the toughest acts to pull off well. With her comic timing, she will do it justice, I have no doubt. And the pics and articles trickling in, seem to indicate the same.

Colors website article is effusive in praise of her act ... and apparently Salman Khan, the guest judge this week, loves it too.

Sanaya has shown us what talent she's got on Jhalak with her different Avataars in the six weeks that have gone back. Not only that she has been quite a favourite of judges as well as the viewers. And, in the coming of week she will surprise all of you even more!  The upcoming theme of ‘Adaz Apna Apna’ Sanaya stunned everyone with her childhood andaaz!




Sanaya Irani will be seen performing on  Bhag Milkha Bhag number ‘Ghul Mil Launda' and because our Sanaya loves to see other people happy, she will be seen in the Charlie Chaplin avatar.



According to Kharan Johar, her performance was one of the most difficult performances on Jhalak Reloaded. Salman Khan called her performance to be an incredible one and a great attempt after Raj Kapoor. Woah!  That’s indeed a big compliment. 



Salman does a "Jawani phir na aaye" with Sanaya!



Dance Guru Ganesh couldn't resist joining the duo on stage! 



Will she be safe for the coming week and how will she fare in Ganesh and Lauren’s scores? To know all about Sanaya’s upcoming performance, tune into Jhalak this Saturday and Sunday 9 PM onwards.

Sat 23/08 - Performances by Shamita, Irfan and Mohit. 
Shamita was very average, don't know why KJo keeps praising her to the skies. She had none of the sultriness and expressions required for the Madhuri song, and not much of the grace either. No wonder she never made it in BW.
Irfan was cute, and clearly out to enjoy himself, since he announced his retirement from theshow due to preponement of the domestic cricket season.
Mohit was average again, his bhangra lacked the gusto and energy required for that dance form.

Raftaar, Ashish, Shubhreet in bottom three. Shubhreet performed her first act with a prosthetic leg, and needless to say, she was not good. Hats off to her for her courage to go on stage within a week of getting her new leg, it takes weeks to months to get used to moving with an artificial limb. Good for her, the Jhalak stage gave her this gift. Her act was choreographed very well, but she was clearly unused to her new limb. She left gracefully and with a smile. I liked that she acknowledged that she made mistakes, Lauren pointed them out backstage, which she really appreciated, Ganesh never found any mistakes, which she also appreciated, but I think not as much ... she didn't want the pity he gave her.
Ditto Ashish, who has probably been expecting this to happen sooner or later, as he was the weakest dancer. His fans have been saving him, but this time he was injured due to a harness mishap in his aerial act, and had no choice but to accept 'elimination'. Feel Colors should have announced he was retiring due to injury, rather than subject him to 'elimination', but I guess the channel couldn't have two contestants retiring in one evening. 
Raftaar danced the best of the three, it was an okay performance. I don't remember either the dance or the song, which shows how average it was.
Salman Khan arrived at the end of Saturday's episode.

Sunday 24/08 - Athiya Shetty and Sooraj Pancholi are guests with Salman. Athiya looks more like her father, which is a pity, her mother is beautiful. Tall and ungainly, I was not impressed with her. Sooraj is better looking, spoke better than her. 
First performance - Sanaya with Wulu mulu wonda in Charlie Chaplin style. WHAT a cute act!!! Perfect synchronisation, perfect timing, perfect expressions, all of Charlie Chaplin's signature moves, his bumping into others, tipping his hat in apology ... the kiss from Lauren at the start, the umbrellas, the fight over the bench... all done to absolute perfection. A comic act is far more difficult than a sad, emotional one, a lot depends on timing, and Sanaya and Jai had theirs down pat. A performance my dad would have loved. Fabulous - I had a grin on my face the whole time, and I've watched it five-six times already, each time that grin finds its way back to my face! 
Judges all gave great comments, Karan said it was her best act yet, Ganesh commented on their synchronisation, Lauren loved it. Salman asked if she was a non dancer - Sanaya said yes ... he laughed at that! Sanaya got 30 on 30. Perfect! And she won Performer of the Week! Yippee!!! She's just getting better and better every week.

Scarlett did an emotional freestyle dance for her mother, a cancer survivor. Very good, very emotional. She also got 30. 
VD did tango with a football. He looked good, dance was okay. Too much concentration on the football, and not much done with it at all. 
Faisal was introduced with a sob story about his dad being an auto driver, and his mom working in a bank. His performance was very good, there was no need for the sob story.
