This weekend, Sony Entertainment Television’s homegrown dance reality show, India’s Best Dancer – Season 4, will welcome social media sensation, Uorfi Javed, for a fun-themed episode -‘Uorfi Ka Chauka’. Presenting a fresh challenge for the contestants with unique props that the contestants must incorporate into their performances, Uorfi will join ‘E.N.T’ (Entertainment, Newness, and Technique) specialists – Karisma Kapoor, Geeta Kapur, and Terence Lewis, adding her twist to the show.
Guest Uorfi Javed will challenge Akanksha Mishra aka Akina, from Lucknow, to incorporate light as a prop in her performance. Akina, alongside her choreographer Subhranil, has consistently impressed the judges and she will make a mark in this episode as well with her performance to the soulful track, ‘Tera Hi Karam’.
An impressed Uorfi Javed says, “Just like my unconventional fashion sense, I gave Akina and Subhranil an unconventional prop —light. Honestly, I didn’t think they could pull it off, but you managed it. Coming up with a concept is challenging, but it was amazing. The part you did with ‘karma’ was particularly impressive. Although I’m not very skilled at dancing, what I saw was fantastic, and I want to come over and hug you.”
Uorfi then reveals that just like Akina, she too belongs to Lucknow, which prompts Geeta Kapur to ask Uorfi, “When you wanted to make a mark for yourself, which you have successfully managed to do today, did you ever have to convince your parents or you did it because you wanted to?”
In response, Uorfi Javed says, “I ran away from home at 17. My family was conservative and I ran away anyway so there was no scope to convince anyone. Then my sister and I became the sole breadwinners of our family. Since then, I’ve seen and experienced so much. I’ve faced many moments where I wanted to give up, but I always got back up. There was never a Plan B for me. What worked in my favor was consistency and I think God must have showered his blessing on me, which is the reason I have been rewarded. Akina, if you stay consistent with your work, God will surely grant you what you desire.”
Furthermore, recognizing her immense talent and potential Terence Lewis will make a heartfelt promise to Akina, assuring her of his unwavering support in her journey ahead.
