'Roy' brothers come face to face in 'Yeh Hai Jalwa' on 9X

9X is all set to launch their latest venture, 'Yeh Hai Jalwa', a reality dance show wherein nine celebrities and five individuals from various walks of life come together for this exciting show. Yeh Hai Jalwa witnesses the who’s who of the entertainment industry, specially those who have mastered eclectic skills by participating various reality shows. Though the format hasn’t been revealed much by the channel, the show comprises of nine teams where five participants are paired up with a celebrity.

Post Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, where Rohit Roy and Ronit Roy teamed up as a host and participant, respectively, the Roy brothers come face to face again for the ultimate challenge in 'Yeh Hai Jalwa'. The Telly Buzz team catches up with the actors on the new Jalwa that’s about to hit the small screens very soon.

The host of most reality shows Rohit Roy, now faces the challenge of hitting the dance floors as a contestant. “I took up this show mainly because of the format. Though I cannot talk much about the format right now, I can only say that it is something unique. Also, I wanted to take part in at least one dance reality show, so here I am.” Talking about Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and competing against Ronit here, Rohit claims, “I was the conductor of the show there, here I am a co-contestant. So this should be real fun. But I don't want this to be only the 'Bose' brothers 'Jalwa'. We have a great list of contestants, so lets see…”

The 'Dancing Dynamite', Ronit Roy is back with a bang as a contestant in 'Yeh Hai Jalwa'. Ronit aptly says, "Yes, I had promised myself and my fans that I will be back in another dance reality show.". On taking part in the reality show, Ronit opines, "I love to dance, so this brought me into Yeh Hai Jalwa".

We questioned the 'Roy' brothers on the probable dilemma within the family as regards the votes. The elder brother Ronit says, "No, I don't think votes will get divided, it will only double up." Well, Bade Miyaan toh Bade Miyaan, Chote Miyaan Bhi Subhan Allah, as Rohit too echoes his brother's sentiments and says, "I think otherwise, in fact, votes will get multiplied. Our family will send equal SMSes to me and Ronit".

Rohit cannot stop himself from remembering the memorable days of Nach Baliye 1 and says, "Every moment of NB is memorable for me, because I took part in the show there with my wife. We even got our kid to the show as well."

Ronit who is very much excited to be a part of this show, has started rehearsing for it. "Yes, I need to do well here; this is in my mind right now", opines the elder 'Bose'.

Talking about the dancing styles of the two brothers, Rohit feels that Ronit has an edge over him when it comes to dancing. "Well, me and Ronit are both untrained dancers. But I guess Ronit is more graceful in his steps, while I am not a free flowing dancer like him…" Always the modest and protective elder brother that he is, Ronit immediately states, "Rohit is a terrific dancer. I can say that I can mould very well and am flexible in adapting to what is being taught to me.B ut I will refrain from classifying his style of dance."
