MUMBAI: Ever since Nach Baliye 9 premiered, the show has been making headlines continuously. This season also features ex-couples. Even before the show started, there have been quite a few reports on ex-couple Madhurima Tuli and Vishal Aditya Singh having a spat while practicing or shooting for the dance reality show. They continue to make headlines for issues between them. Now, this week the dance reality show will see their elimination.
However, there’s already a strong buzz that the exes will be brought back on the show as wild card entry in a few weeks from now. The duo, who had grabbed a lot of attention for their arguments refused to accept that the fights were staged. In a conversation with TNN, the two, soon after they shot for the episode that will now see their eviction, gave their versions.
Vishal told the daily, “We lost out on votes and were evicted. If people feel we will be back as a wild card entry because we added spice to the show, then I think they have lost perspective here. Did we not dance at all? Did we just keep fighting and arguing? Have other couples on TV never fought? If baliyes can have nok-jhok, in this case they have brought exes together... obviously there will be friction. What the show chooses to highlight in its promos is not my business. They will promote the product that is most saleable. I actually don’t like this word ‘content’. A lot of people said we were providing content to the show with our fights, but I would like to say that at least we were real. And I’m saying this for the last time — our fights were not staged. In a relationship, a guy should not always be blamed, the woman may be equally at fault. Had I thrown the mike like she did and said I don’t want to do the show, people would have abused me and said so many things.”
Madhurima added, “I agree that our fights became the talk of the town and we were in the limelight. Though the fights bothered us, they were not staged or scripted. We had those differences, but I did not realise then that this was a national platform; we got carried away. I think the fights got a lot of attention for us, but they were also one of the reasons why the judges felt we should be evicted. After we got eliminated, I threw the mike because it was getting on my nerves, and I decided to give up. I am sorry that it happened in front of the judges. I don’t know if we will be back on the show, but as far as a relationship is concerned, we will never be back together. Hopefully, it has ended well and that’s what I feel happy about.”
