MUMBAI: Nia Sharma, who is known for playing the roles of Anu in Kaali - Ek Agnipariksha, Manvi in Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai, and Roshni in Jamai Raja, is highly disappointed with Nach Baliye 9’s Shantanu Maheshwari and Nityaami Shirke's elimination.   

Shantanu and Nityaami, one of the strong contenders in the dance reality show, apparently got evicted from the show. The news of Prince and Yuvika winning the show has been doing rounds on the internet as the finale was shot yesterday. And now, Nia, who will soon be seen in Naagin 4, took to Twitter to express her anger over the fact that Shantanu and Nityaami got eliminated. She got startled by the news as Shantanu is a professional dancer and he has represented the nation on the international dance platforms such as America’s Got Talent 11 and World of Dance Season 2 among others. 

Nia’s post read, “Shantanu Maheshwari gets evicted from a dance reality show? The same guy who represents the country on an international dance platform? Kudos!! All due respect to these reality shows but also please respect the guy whose very profession is DANCE!!” Nia and Shantanu were a part of another reality show called Khatron Ke Khiladi season 8 and they were friends since then. Many fans also believed the same and many said how eliminating him from the top 5 is what they did not expect. One of the users wrote, "Evicted at 5th position is the whole new joke..we don't believe him getting such less votes either." Another wrote, "Him not being the winner doesn't hurt..but keeping him till the finale for standards of dance and eliminating him at 5th place in finale is a joke..we bet he anyway got more votes than this. That hurts..Anyway, thanks for yeh support Nia. MEANS A LOT" For the uninitiated, the top four contenders were, Aly-Natasa, Yuvika-Prince, Anita-Rohit and Vishal-Madhurima.
