Karan Patel will be joining 'Jhalak' as a wild card contestant!

Colors popular celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa: Dancing with the Stars is going to take a fresh new twist in the upcoming episodes with some surprising wild card entries. 

The very talented Telly town actor Karan Patel who rose to fame with shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kasturi, Suvivor India-The Ultimate Battle, Kasamh Se and Nach Baliye 3 is all set to shake his leg in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa: Dancing with the Stars.

In conversation with TellyBuzz, Karan Patel confirms the news about his entry in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa. He says, "Yes, I have been approached for Jhalak for a wild card entry and I have considered the offer as well."

This is not the first time that Karan will be seen dancing, earlier in Nach Baliye Season 3 too, Karan along with his partner Amita Chandekar entertained us with their mesmerising performances.

Talking about Jhalak, Karan says, "Jhalak's dancing level is way ahead in comparison with other dance reality shows. While the rest of the shows contemplate on celebrity fame power, Jhalak Dikhla Jaa concentrates completely on the contestant's dancing skills and the overall presentation."

Karan who is excited about his new project further goes on to say, "Jhalak Dikhla Jaa has come as a challenge to me that I've accepted. But apart from the high-level competition it is, the three judges have added stars to the show. I believe that given a chance to perform in front of - the dancing queen Madhuri Dixit Nene,  an amazing filmmaker Karan Johar and country's one of the wonderful choreographer Remo Dsouza , is itself a very big achievement."

When asked about the competition factor, Karan takes it sportingly. He says, "At present, the show encompasses some fine dancers and they all are doing a real good job. Amidst the stiff contest, Lauren Gottlieb is a tough competitor. It seems like she is from another planet. Though she has entered as a celebrity contestant, but I'm sure she can choreograph better than the other existing choreographers on the show."

"Other than Lauren, Siddharth Shukla and Drashti Dhami are on the competition list since both of them are face of Colors channel and are backed with huge popularity. So it would be a great experience to be a part of the show. I will have to work twice hard to match-up with the race."

Karan also goes on to say that he is looking forward to Jhalak and is very keen on learning different forms of Dance!

We at TellyBuzz wish the young actor all the good luck!
