It's just a few more weeks to the grand finale of the popular dance reality show Nach Baliye 8. While the couples are gearing to up their game and give in their best shot, the audiences are all excited to see their favourite couple win. The judges too have been stringent on judging the contestants for their performances. Talk about being strict enough and we have Terence Lewis who is known to be very precise and specific while pointing out the strong and the weak moments of the every couple's performances.

But recently, the gossip that raised our eyebrows was how Sanaya Irani and Mohit Sehgal who are one of the most popular couples on Indian television and also on Nach Baliye, were probably getting safe zoned by the home channel of the show. Apparently, a source informed us, "Sanaya and Mohit have been getting a 30 score but Terence has been carefully scrutinising their performance and his comments that are against them are not completely telecasted by the channel since they do not want to affect their viewership by losing out on the fans of MoNaya. So especially Terence's comments on Monaya's performance are rather rigged in a smart way to safe side Monaya, and it is making Terence infuriated." "Terence is completely unhappy with the fact and behaviour of the channel. In fact, he had also called Mohit to be a poor dancer," informed the source.

Rather filing the story without cross checking, we believed in getting the fact right from the horse's mouth itself. We got in touch with Terence who laughed on hearing the gossip revolving around him. The choreographer who does not believe in mincing words and prefers calling spade a spade, spoke his heart out before it turned out to be an unwanted controversy.

"How do guys learn about everything," said Terence laughingly. Rather than sticking to the quintessential 'no comments' line, he went on record to accept a few things. "No No it's not happened the way you guys have been informed. I have been strict with everybody, not just Sanaya and Mohit. I am very particular about the technical aspects. After every performance, I am very detailed about telling every couple of how they have performed and how they have to improve and where. But my comments are very detailed and not precise. Of course, the channel does not have that much screen time to telecast everything that I say. They have to alter my comments. It's not just here but every show that I judge, I have a lot to say and the channel cannot only give me all the screen time. It will be unfair to the other judges too."

We had also heard of how apparently Terence feels that Mohit is a bad dancer. When questioned him about it, Terence very bluntly said, "No No, when I said that he is a weak dancer, was when I meant that he is not a dancer at all actually. But suddenly Mohit has been upping his game way too much and has justified being in the competition. Others who are participating, have already been good dancers. But Mohit is not a good dancer but then too he has worked hard to match up to others in the cut-throat competition and also live up to Sanaya's dancing skills because she is a better dancer than him and he knows that. Also, poor guy, he doesn't know how to do the typical herogiri like RJ Pritam and carry off an act. He will behave just like this obedient guy and do exactly what his choreographers have told him. I have told him that he is not good as a dancer as compared to other stars on board but he has hard worked a lot. In fact, Sanaya-Mohit has got the best scores off late."

In the end, finally shrugging off the reports, Terence said, "I am not furious or anything of that sort with anyone. But yes its just that when they don't show my few comments on someone's performance, I am like arey, they should have telecast this comment and that comment. But I understand, I cannot get all the screen-time, I am not the star of the show this time," he signed off.

Phew! A stitch in time saves nine. What say?!
