Bebo looking absolutely stunning grooves to the tunes of 'Its Rocking' and 'Mauja Mauja' also cheering the final five contestants and boosting their spirits before the final results.
The final fab five!
After Sameera’s electrifying performance, it's time to announce the final five contestants! The judges have given their verdict and the final five to battle it out for the coveted crown are Harshita, Tanvi, Parvathy, Simran and Sangeeta C.
The question posed to the finalists is “The rate of divorce in India is on a rise. What is the cause? Is western influence the cause or something else?”
The contestants were given 90 seconds to answer the question and the ladies came up stupendous answers!
Harshita : “Marriages are what we make of it. Divorces are prominent because we don’t have the abilities to sustain them. We have to be more strong and determined as human beings.
Parvathy : Divorces are not a result of western influence. At the end of the day, it is we who decide whose worth us. Marriage is not when one completes the other but is when both share their completeness.
Sangeeta Chauhan : Yes, western influence is somewhere responsible for the rise in divorce. Long working hours and stress are taking a toll on people.
Simran : The mindset is changing but divorces cannot be attributed to western influences. In fact we need to come up with a system to tackle this dilemma.
Tanvi : The rise in divorce is because of lack of compassion and not western influence.
The sizzling Sameera Reddy clad in an all red gorgeous jump suit offers roses to the lovely Zeenat as she begins shaking her leg to the electric 70’s dance numbers made memorable by Zeenat. From gyrating to 'Churalia Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko' and 'Laila O Laila' to seducing the audiences on 'Pyar Mein Dil Pe Maar de Goli...' Sameera is simply sizzling. Zeenat is so enthralled by Sam’s performance that she herself goes on stage to thank Sameera!
