Next, Gauri and Yash Tank performed. They were very innovative with their mimicry of Don. Yash dressed up like Amitabh Bachchan in Don, and Gauri like Shah Rukh Khan. They got a standing ovation from the judges, plus whistles, hundred rupee notes and catcalls from Saroj Khan!
But that is when the drama started. Yash, on being quizzed about how they managed such a great performance, said that a friend of his had helped him with the emotions. This was taken very badly by Saroj Khan, as she immediately took back her marks. As per the format of the show, contestants are not supposed to take help from anyone but the choreographer.
Despite Gauri's clarification that they just showed their emotions to a friend for a second opinion, Saroj wanted to stage a walkout. It was only after a long discussion with the producers, director and programming head, and a lot of coaxing and cajoling, that Saroj Khan agreed to re-enter the stage and give marks to Gauri and Yash. But not before making it clear that this was the first and last time she was doing something like this.
