Did Sreesanth walk out of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa?

SreesanthAfter his alleged involvement in Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fixing, cricketer Sreesanth put on his dancing shoes to rock the dance floors of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7.

His first performance was well received by judges Madhuri Dixit, Remo D'Souza and Karan Johar. 

Later, he performed even when he injured his shoulders and hand during the dance rehearsals.

Unfortunately, he did not get enough audience votes for his latest performance. 

"Sreesanth was upset due to a change of sequence of his act," claims a source. "Then, when it was announced that he was among the bottom two -- along with contestant Pooja Banerjee -- he was shocked." 

"He didn’t get positive comments from the judges after the face off. Remo told him it wasn't one of his best performances while another judge said he could have done better. Sreesanth disagreed with that, as he thought it was his best performance, and left the stage without listening to anything more," added the source. 

The cricketer is not new to dance -- he had learnt break dance and street dance in his school days and has even performed at events and shows. In fact, he loves to dance!
