Apart from dancing, what valuable lessons did you learn during your journey in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11?
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 was a transformative experience that boosted my confidence in areas I thought were beyond my reach. Given my health challenges, where fatigue and illness were frequent companions, there were moments I doubted my ability to continue. However, facing those challenges head-on, I realized the hidden potential within me. Each performance, especially those lasting for 3 long minutes with scripts, seemed daunting initially, but I conquered them. It’s a testament to the untapped capabilities within every individual, often unnoticed without confronting such situations. Jhalak helped me discover my strength.
What inspired or motivated you to participate in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11?
Dancing has been a passion since my childhood. I harbored a dream to pursue it if given the opportunity. When the offer for Jhalak came, despite my health concerns and the presence of highly talented dancers, I decided to give my best for the weeks I would be on the show. I don’t compromise on my commitments. Throughout the two and a half months of Jhalak, it consumed all my focus. Despite receiving offers for other projects like music videos, I declined, believing in dedicating my full attention to one endeavor until its success. While some prefer multitasking, I find strength in concentrating on a single venture and delivering my best.
