Dance Deewane franchise has been pivotal in discovering some of the best dancers in this country, and it is now presenting a dazzling new format of ‘Dance Deewane Juniors’. With the promise of ‘Deewangi More, Dance Hardcore’, the show aims to find children with a flaming desire to dance and give them a befitting stage. Be it the incredible dance group ‘ABCD Little Angels’ including Rithyha, Navya, Janvi, Shanaya and Myra, the energetic dancing duo of Urva and Aska also or solo performers Geet Kaur Bagga, Aditya Vinod Patil and Anshika Dhara, their spirit and passion for dance is unmatchable. For the first time ever in any kids’ dance show this format of performing and competing in solos, duets and in groups will be witnessed. Along with the judges, the show will also have ace dancers: Tushar Shetty, Pratik Utekar and Sonali Kar as mentors training and nurturing the craft of the contestants.

Manisha Sharma, Chief Content Officer, Hindi Mass Entertainment, Viacom18, adds, “Kids are a powerhouse of talent and passionate about dance.

We have an array of performers and a promising line-up of contestants from different parts of the country who have given their heart and soul to their art form and Dance Deewane Juniors will give flights to their dreams.”

Neetu Kapoor said, “I am very happy to be coming into audiences home. I was waiting for the right opportunity. When I was offered Dance Deewane Juniors’, I was very excited about my judging debut. It is an absolute delight to see and mentor the little prodigies who are extremely talented and gifted. Along with the kids, even I am learning so many new things; be it different dance forms and styles or the Gen-Z lingo. I am having a blast on the show.

Marzi Pestonji shares his thoughts saying, “Dance Deewane’ franchise has done exceptionally well in finding great dancing talents from across the country bringing them under the limelight and I am delighted to be a part of Dance Deewane Juniors. While judging, my focus is majorly going to be on the technical aspects and how well the contestants make use of their skills as we are looking for the X factor in the solos, duet and the groups. The finesse, body language, choreography and above all, the energy. The talent in the younger generation is unbelievable, and I am all charged up to watch some hardcore dance performances.”

Host Karan Kundrra says, “COLORS is like my second home, and I am very excited as this is the first time, I am hosting a kids’ reality show. I adore kids and the contestants who have appeared on the show are incredible. I am hoping that by the end of the show, I become a better dancer and learn some impressive moves. I am delighted to join Neetu ma’am, Nora and Marzi on the show. Their vibe and energy are amazing, and it is such a pleasure to collaborate with them.”

Well for a long time we have seen them getting close to each other and the possibility of a ropmance brewing between them is barely a question anymore. However, the other day when Salamn Khan revealed Karan’s hypocrisy towards Tejasswi, the audiences were in for a bit of a shock because the bubble seemed to burst. And yet again we saw Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi at loggerheads. When Rashami Desai and Tejasswi Prakash got into an argument, it was Karan who intervened and tried to mitigate issues between the two. Tejasswi then requested Karan and Rashami to lt her speak and put forth her opinion.

However, Karan denied her that request and that is when Tejasswi’s patience broke the fence and she got agitated and teary eyed. On seeing Tejasswi lose it, Karan tried banish her by asking her to calm down and not shout. Now, this is when Tejasswi say, she is upset and that Rashami never talks to the point and confuses everyone. Her agitation then suddenly touched the fan and she hollered at Karan, “”The more you ask me to stay calm, I am going to lose it.” This gets Karan defensive and he leaves the conversation there and then.

However, Tejasswi tells Karan that she wants him to be part of the conversation and hen Karan returns to it, Rakhi Sawant comes in the picture and opines that Tejasswi should have been given a chance to talk. This gets Karan furthermore angered and he breaks a glass thereafter stating that he isn’t there to take disrecpect just because he is understanding and empathising by nature. He tells Tejasswi, “ “Do no talk to me in a derogatory way, I am eight years elder to you.”

This makes Tejasswi break down and she starts crying and sits all alone in one corner of the house. Karan comes to her and asks if he could talk. In the course of the conversation, Karan tells her that she shouldn’t have repeatedly asked Rashami whether she is insecure about the two of them (Karan and Tejasswi). Tejasswi goes on to indirectly castigate him by telling him, if a person gets hyper, no one shouldn’t ask that person to calm down because it makes the person frustrated even more. Karan apologises to her and says, “”Okay, lesson learnt.” Tejasswi feels bad for her behaviour and tells him, “I am sorry, I snapped at you.”

Later, once again for the camera, the two of them get cozy with each other and hug it out.

In the teaser of tonight’s episode Salman Khan gives Tejasswi Prakash a chance to speak to her mother. In another part the audiences see her crying and then tells Salman, “Don’\t say that, sir.” Then we see Karan refusing to take his father’s call because he will get weak if he speaks to him and that there was a time when no one else was there with him except his parents. Awww, how innocent!

Umar Riaz’s mother praises his son for his game and also tells him that winning or losing the game doesn’t matter. Rajiv and Shamita Shetty too are seen crying in the promo.

In the last episode we all saw how; Salman Khan was all praises for Tejasswi Prakash’s game and he chided Karan for being overbearing with her. He pointed out that Karan maintains has relationships with everyone in the house but has a problem when Tejasswi tries to speak to others. Salman also brought out Karan’s lies and hypocrisy in the open as he said, Tejasswi is never defended by Karan when his friend s mock her, he also stated that Umar Riaz had made fun of her friendship and Vishal and Rajiv had called her “two-faced and untrustworthy.”

Well, you read that right. Tonight, the very first contestant from the Bigg Boss 15 house will be eliminated.

The ‘junglewasis’ were nominated this week after Bigg Boss punished them. Miesha Iyer, Donal Bisht, Karan Kundrra, Tejasswi Prakash, Jay Bhanushali, Afshana Khan, Vidhi Pandya, Umar Riaz, Vishal Kotian, Ieshaam Sehgal, Simba Nagpal, Sahil Shroff and Akasa Singh are the ones on whom the nomination dagger hangs.

However, the audience has already decided who they don’t want to see in the show anymore. Well, it is Sahil Shroff!

You read that right. A little birdie informed us that Sahil will be the first contestant to be ousted from the glass-walled house. Sahil had very little time inside the house and therefore the audiences could not see much of him. On the contrary the other contestants to be nominated had garnered a lot of attention already due to their crazy antics and over the top mannerisms.

Earlier it was also being speculated that Simba Nagpal would be eliminated but Sahil would be shown the door tonight.
