Chetan was competing against very promising Vartika Jha (a hip hopper & popper) and V Unbeatable group who performed nail biting acts throughout the season. And there was the jodi of Sujan-Aaanchel who too left everyone mesmerized with their dancing. The former two were from Team Dharmesh while the latter two from Team Punit. None of Shakti Mohan's contestants could make it to Top 4.
While many said that Chetan did not even deserve to get into top 4, the others who did become the fan of his dancing, still were unhappy to see the deserving contestants losing out in the final battle.

Chetan belongs to a less privileged family and his mother works as a househelp (maid). He was also termed 'modern day Shravan Kumar' because he dreams of providing his parents a better life. Chetan hasn't had a professional training but learned the art of popping by watching Youtube videos. Fans allege that sympathy won over talent and such "sob stories shouldn't be taken into consideration" while selecting a winner.
Final results were announced on basis of votes from the viewers and Remo's marks and the supporters of Chetan are defending him saying he won the hearts of the audience.
Amid all this chaos, now Vartika has spoken about losing in Grand Finale and in her Instagram post she shared that she "accepts the result which was standing 3rd". Vartika also congratulated Chetan Salunkhe for the win.
Vartika wrote - "Hello everyone! I am here again with you all. Really really thanks from the bottom of my heart wherever I am because of you all and my parents who are always with me [heart emoji] . And really it was not easy for me to be a finalist in dance plus season 04 but your love and blessings helped me alot, still I want to learn more, I accept the result which you already heard that I stood 3rd, still I am lacking still I am learning and its my promise to you all, I will do my best".
In her message ahead, she praises Chetan for his hard work, extending congratulations to him.
It read - "And Congratulations to @chetan_salunkhe_3931 Bhai, wherever he is, he is just because of his hard work and love from his elder ones, and also would like to congratulate @aaanchel_s_malakar,@sujanmarpatamang and @v.unbeatable_official_india for their hardwork which they did through out this period, really love you all guys.

Vartika's flawless dancing skills have left the guests like Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit completely floored and show's super judge Remo had each time after her performance, called her a star!
