Saturday night rubbed the reality show “mujhe iss jungle se bachao” on Boogie Woogie and so the pre performance was started in similar fashion. After a lukewarm Friday, honestly I was waiting for some magic 
for Saturday night and was hoping that it does not turn as bad as Friday. Though it wasn’t as bad as Friday but it still comes under the mediocre attempt by mummy’s in the challenge set by judges. So is marriage to be blamed? Does being a mother, one can only be an average performer in challenges or were the mummy’s served the wrong food that they couldn’t be their best? Well, I personally feel the awesome performances by the kids prior to mummy’s set our expectations so high that “we” the audiences want to see only the same standard and anything less makes us upset.
But coming back to the Saturday night, the first mother who makes an bold entry to perform in the challenge round was Sonia Dias and she was given semi classical dance as her 
theme. Now we were so used to seeing Sonia do hip hop or some western that it was almost impossible to imagine in classical attire performing some Indian steps. But Sonia surprises us all by dancing on song “chupke se”. She wore a blue top with white lehanga. Sonia’s performance to the audience should look graceful and soothing. The hip hop dancer did a very good attempt by dancing fabulously and I loved all her steps, expressions and smile during her performance. Must watch! Sonia got great comments from Ravi and she also desired to perform on an item number in her future rounds. The after performance talk brought some touchy and memorable moments between Sonia and her daughter when she had a day out with her.
The second mother to perform was Saili Desai who got Salsa as her theme. Now with Saili, it was opposite to what it was with Sonia. She all the time danced Indian and one never saw her shake on a western number. This was the first time Saili 
performs a Salsa and I must say it was a good attempt. She wore a pink color costume and danced on song “kuch khaas hai”. Some of the steps that were worth mentioning were Boo dancers lifting Saili, that came out good especially the positioning of her legs and hands. Saili dancing around the chair and the steps that she took along with Boo dancers with the faster music were all good attempt. Saili carried herself very well and her smile and expressions were great. Though I felt there was a lot of walking in her dance but giving the benefit of doubt that she was performing for the first time, it will be called a great attempt. Saili got good compliments from the judges especially from Naved when he said that Saili turned out to be a chupi rustum and shouldn’t be under estimated.
The next mother to dance was Geeta Soni who got Rock n Roll as her dancing theme. Geeta the pretty mother danced on song “tumse mili nazar”. She wore a pretty pink color frock with silver tights and as usual she looked amazingly beautiful. Geeta’s steps were 
faster and it was a very good rock n roll attempt. Boo dancers added their own charm to the performance but Geeta was her best in her challenge. They also used props in her performance and it came out very well. I don’t know the technicalities and lets just leave that to the judges but from audience point of view, one must enjoy this performance as it came out as a good entertaining number. Well done Geeta!! The only problem that I found in Geeta is that she was never a good speaker. Like some of the mothers who speak non stop in their after performance talk and sometimes unnecessarily, Geeta when she needs to speak, she likes to pass the opportunity and move from the stage like instance when the judges asked her to say a joke, she asked them if she can go. I think Geeta must polish her people’s skills and once she does that, there shouldn’t be any stopping for her. I personally loved her performance and salute this mother who got a 16 year old daughter for her skills and also for her flexibility. Salute to her determination to do something for herself apart from being a mother! Awesome job Geeta!!
After Geeta’s performance, judges – Ravi, Javed and Naved celebrated Michael Jackson’s birthday on Boogie Woogie stage. They cut a cake and also danced to the song “Thriller”. Some of the mummy’s that got a chance to dance with the judges were Sonia and Ritu with Jaaved Jaafferi, Ravi danced with Ritu Gupta and one could also see Sumit and Vinod dance to celebrate Michael Jackson’s birthday. Jaaved Jaafferi also announced that soon after the Mummy’s Championship they will be coming up with Michael Jackson special where they will pay a tribute to MJ and it will be a two week special. Can’t wait!!
The last mother to perform was definitely not the least mother as she performed fabulously. Yes it was Ritu Gupta’s turn and she got Hip Hop as her theme. Ritu danced to the song 
“Masakali” remixed with “Gangster Blues”. She wore black top, white and black bottom with red color scarf along with a head band – a perfect hip hop attire. The best thing about Ritu’s dancing is anytime there are Boo dancers on the stage, it looks like they are there to support the participant but when Ritu dances with the boo dancers, it looks like she is part of the team and everyone together is performing. She plays a strong teammate giving her hundred percent to the performance and so this time too she succeeded not only with great matching steps but also great expressions and dancing movements and attitude. Her closure was fabulous too. Must Watch! Ritu also got great compliments from the judges especially from Ravi. Keep it up Ritu!
Unfortunately the one mummy to get eliminated this week was Geeta Soni. As we said, Geeta was a beautiful part of Mummy’s Championships and with her getting eliminated, we are going to miss her a lot. There surely is going to be a vacuum but we wish her the very best of best for all her future endeavors and we do hope to see her back on Boogie Woogie stage soon. Geeta, we are proud of you! Mothers like you always are very inspiring. We pray for the best for you and your family. God bless you!!
