Prachi Desai, the most favourite daughter-in-law of the small screen, won crowned the winner of the Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 2 beating finalists Sandhya Mridul and Jay Bhanushali. Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif were the special guest on the show and announced the winner. Prachi won the content after a surprise earlier in season when she was vote off by the public. She returned back on the show via a wild card. The judges favourite was Sandhya, who was a great dancer on the show but lacked the public popularity like Prachi.
This is nothing new in real life tv shows, where similar thing had happended last year, when the judges favourite, Shweta Salve, did not win for similar reason. The other finalists, Jaissi Koi Nahin's Mona Singh was vote the winner by the public.
The question here is not who is more talented, but who is more favourite? Please leave your thoughts on this subject.
