“Being a judge is a huge responsibility because the results are not decided by public vote. I feel personally responsible if anyone leaves the show.

So, I thought why not give them eight or nine instead of give them five or six and it’s completely unfair to call me indulgent if I’m trying to cheer up a non-dancer. People should watch the full episodes before making such judgments. Preity said.
