“Shilpa Shetty Was Never Out Of Super Dancer”

 There  was   no  move afoot  to sack  Shilpa Shetty as judge  on   the dance-reality show  Super Dancer. In fact sources from the show  say she  was always  “much valued” on  the show.

A  source  from the  show’s core team  informs  this  writer, “Shilpa was  very much on board . There was  no  plan of  asking her  to  leave. It  was her choice to stay away from  shooting after whatever happened (Ms Shetty’s husband  was  arrested on July 19 for allegedly  producing and broadcasting  pornographic  content) .When she  informed us that she won’t be  coming we made  alternative arrangements. It was  up to  her to return whenever she thought  was the right time.And  now we’re happy to  have her  back.”

Sources say Ms Shetty was   waiting for  the controversy  to  ebb   if not die down  before  making a  public  appearance. Her  only  pre-condition  for  returning was, “No controversial  questions.”
