Jhalak Dikhla Jaa's Second Season promises to be Bigger and Better. The Dance Reality show, this time is packed with a lineup of talented celebrities from various fields.

Heart beats are on the rise for the celebrities of this season’s Jhalak Dikhla Jaa. As they say, ‘The first impression is the lasting impression’, on the eve of the first episode of the mega show, participants are leaving no stone unturned to create the perfect lasting impression…

The Telly Buzz team talks to one such participant, Balaji’s latest kid on the block - Jai Bhanushali, who is all set to mesmerize his fans in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa, but this time, with his dancing shoes on. The Wonder Boy Jai who stole hearts in Star’s Kayamat will now make sure to put his best foot forward and win the season 2 of Jhalak Dikhlaja.

How is the preparation going on for Jhalak?

It's going really good, I got a decent start, I will just say that. You all need to see it and decide for yourself. I am here for fun, so I am surely having a blast. I am not thinking big right now, I just want to be myself, no big planning going on at the moment.

How has this experience been? Is it a relief from mundane work?

Yes, this is something new. It is different; it is a relieved change from the daily soaps to reality. I am having a lot of fun dancing here. I used to dance at parties, and that was it. But here, I need to be perfect in my dance steps, and technicality also counts. So with Shiamak around, we need to be perfect, otherwise, he will skin you.

Who do you think is going to give you tough competition?

I would say, Ronit Roy and Sandhya Mridul will surely give me a tough time. They are putting lot of effort and energy into their dance. Even Mr. Negi is popular with Chak De getting successful. So he is here fully motivated."

Of the judges, who is the toughest person to appease?

Ofcourse, Shiamak! A compliment from Shiamak will surely be a big boost. Then there is Urmila. But Jeetendra is so sweet, that he cannot say anything negative to even the bad dancer. He always comes up with something interesting to say, and has something good to tell the participants all the time.

Its not just the judges that Jai needs to woo, he needs to make sure to dance into the hearts of the people of India. Will Jai succeed in casting his magic on the dance floor as well? Well, the suspense will unveil tonight at 9:00pm on Sony Entertainment Television. So get ready to enjoy another Season of Sony's Jhalak Dikhla Jaa...
