Controversy
- The stand-up Comedienne withdrew the competition, due to medical reasons, on September 22. She revealed that the real reason behind her quitting the show was to protest Isha's unfair stay on the dance contest. While standing against Rashmi in the bottom two, Bharti stated that her performances are of no worth as she vehemently proclaimed that she believes that the reality show has been rigged and Isha's continuous progression in the competition from week to week without delivering any performances is a visible proof that the contest is being plotted on unfair grounds. Not one to let her resentment go unnoticed, she told the media, “I want to see the rule book of the show because if Isha (Sharvani) can stay on the show without performing, why was I eliminated despite getting good number of votes and marks? I feel it was unfair that an exception was made for her when she dislocated her elbow, but not for me. I too performed despite being unwell." She added, “I was suffering from high fever on the episode where Kareena Kapoor visited the sets. Also, despite a severe back pain, I still chose to dance,” She was extremely unhappy that no contestant or judge supported her when the decision was made. “I was angry when I heard the result. I used to rehearse 8 to 10 hours daily, compromise on eating on time and go through stress. If the judges and channel wanted, they could have made an exception.”
