Notes

• ^1 Divyanka couldn't perform in Week 3 because she was injured and a doctor had consulted her to take bed rest. Vivek asked the judges to allow him to perform with their choreographer Sonali. The judges allowed him but told him that they would neglect Sonali and would only see and judge him and give marks on that basis.
• ^2 Haarsh couldn't perform in Week 4 as he was injured and a doctor had advised him to take rest. Bharti asked the judges to allow her to perform with their choreographer Savio. The judges allowed them but told her that they would neglect Savio and would only see and judge her and give marks on that basis. Terrance also said this is the last where they would allow a contestant perform with their choreographer.
