Reality Reel - Part 4

Hey everyone! I’m back after going dark for a month—sorry about that! This part of Reality Reel  took an extremely long time to finish, because a lot of crazy things are coming up! The posts may take longer to complete because we are finally getting into the main swing of things. Enjoy this part! 16. The Final Lineup Once all the auditions end, the contestants chosen are called to the stage to introduce themselves to the audience as the new Super Dancers of this season. While I’m heading to the entrance, I steal a quick glance at the final list posted on a board: Top 13 Contestants Aman Kumar  Anil Tattikotta  Anshita Rajput Arshika Sharma  Eeshvi Mishra Florisha Gogoi  Neera Tiwari  Parita Tamang  Prakhya Das Prithvi Kongari  Sankalp Chanana Sobhit Barman  Swati Rishi Kashyap Seeing my name on the board, the newly familiar feeling of pride and being a contestant sinks in, and I smile big-time.

Reality Reel - Part 3

Hey there! So, quick heads-up on the uploading schedule of Reality Reel, now the posts will be up every Sunday instead of every Saturday, for me to increase more time to write them, and for you guys to increase readership. As for today’s part, we’ve got a big surprise coming up, so dive in! 11.  Char Mahine Ka Chamakdar And… we’re in Mumbai. The capital of Maharashtra, the centre of Bollywood. And the place where I’m going to get the redemption I deserve. After we landed in the city yesterday, Papa and I checked into our hotel and then went to the briefing for the first episode.

I shake my head. “If I was, I wouldn’t be telling you.” “Beta.”  Mama touches my hand. “I know Chapter 3 was not easy for you, and it’s understandable you may sense these things—” I pull my hand away. “Mama, it’s  not like that.  I know what I saw. Inderpal told me something about a Super Dancer ad, and I kept an eye on the TV to see if it was true. And it  is.”  I turn to Papa. “We can check on Sony LIV if you want to make sure.” Mama looks at Papa. “If he says it’s true…” Papa takes a deep breath and opens his phone. We wait anxiously as he goes through Sony LIV’s banners. Suddenly, he freezes. “Papa?” I prompt, expectant. “Sunil?” Mama asks, worried. Papa exhales. “Sankalp… you’re right.” “So…” I say slowly. “Are the auditions… open?” He presses his lips together. “Yes.” What?  It’s true? The auditi...
