Saroj or Vaibhavi: Who would you rather have?

The buzz suggests that Saroj Khan has made way for Vaibhavi Merchant on Nach Baliye 3. Last season Saroj received a lot of flak for her catty remarks but will not having one of the best Bollywood choreographers on the judges’ panel have an affect on the show?

Saroj is known for her straight up bordering on rude remarks on the show but Vaibhavi Merchant is no push over either. Her dedication to her work and non nonsense attitude has made her one of the best in the industry.

So we asked the jodis who would they rather have – Saroj or Vaibhavi?

Amita Chandekar and Karan Patel

To be honest it’s the channels decision so we can’t say anything about it. Both the judges are good choreographers in their own right.

Sweta Keswani and Alexx O’Neill

It doesn’t make us a difference one way or the other. We aren’t looking at it as a competition to win… its more about us dancing, learning various styles and improving our ourselves along the way.

Shivangi and Shakti Kapoor

Someone told me that Saroj Khan is not a judge any more so I felt bad as I have worked a lot with her. She is one of the best dancers in our country and has a lot of experience in classical and modern dance. I wish she could be our judge. But if the news is true then its very sad news for us. Its not that I am against Vaibhavi Merchant but it would have been good to have had Saroj Khan as the judge.

Amita and Vikas Sethi

I am sure that Saroj would have brought her own charm to the show. But at the same time Vaibhavi will bring her own flavour… we have no idea what we are in store for!

Kavita Kaushik and Karan Grover

We aren’t even thinking about all that. Our job is to rehearse and perform to the best of our abilities. It shouldn’t matter who is sitting on the other side to us.

Sanjeeda Sheikh and Amir Ali

I think we all will miss her bluntness and caustic remarks. We were mentally preparing ourselves for it. But at the same time we are sure that Vaibhavi will come with her set of remarks – good and bad!

Pooja Bedi and Hanif Hilal

As dancers it would be great to be appreciated by someone like Saroj but having said that it doesn’t mean Vaibhavi isn’t going be like that too. I am sure both come with their understanding of dance and one way or the other all of us will be in the firing line.

Ritu and Kiran Jhanjani

As far as Saroj Khan is concerned we wouldn’t have a problem with what she says she is a senior and experienced person. But how can I believe the comment of a girl who is lesser in age and experience? We think it will create ego problems. We think an experienced person should be the judge and Saroj Khan is the queen of Bollywood dance.
