Short takes, Straight from the Jhalak Dance Floors

It's the week to Hip-Hop and Waltz, and Prachi Desai and Deepak waltz on the number "O mere sapno ke saudagar mujhe aisi jagah leh jaa". The couple translated their dance through a fabulously choreographed fairy tale Cindrella act! From the dance, look, feel, with no exception to the shoe, their act was completely outstanding. This isn't just what we say...here's what the judges had to say –

Urmila says, "Prachi you did a wonderful job, overall fluid and beautiful, I just loved the act" Jeetendra quips, "Last 2 weeks mein aapne apne aapko itna unche pedestrian pe kar diya hai, you are doing a great job." Shiamak says, "I am happy you are not taking the marks for granted, aaj aapka nritya mere mann ko chhoo gaya"

Special guests Rishi Kapoor says, "Cindrella concept bohot behtareen tareeke se use kiya hai" and Neetu Kapoor said "I have seen you dance in the last 2 weeks and you are terrific"

An excited Prachi told the Kapoor's, "I'm waiting to see your son Ranbir too"

Watch Prachi dance like Cindrella with her prince charming Deepak this Friday, October 26 at 9.00 p.m. only on Sony Entertainment Television.


This week Sandhya Mridul and Javed danced to the evergreen romantic number "Kuch Na Kaho" from Anil Kapoor's hit movie 1942 – A Love Story, which resulted in Anil becoming nostalgic. He reminisces the shooting of this song with his co-star Manisha, who had him do multiple retakes due to her overweight. On Sandhya's performance Shaimak said, "Tumhara jalwa aasman main udh gaya, tumne mera naam roshan kar diya" Anil said, "It was beautiful but you missed out on the 22 kisses"( the number of kissing retakes that Anil had taken while shooting this song). An embarrassed Sandhya reacted by saying, "Woh aaj meri maa aayi hai mujhe dekhne ke liye, isliye" This quick repartee could be expected from Sandhya!

After her waltz, Sandhya had Anil Kapoor join her to the music of "one two ka four…to my name is lakhan" Although he has not been in his dancing shoes for ages, Anil left all his inhibitions to shake a leg with Sandhya. Anil to the pleasant surprise of everyone, thoroughly enjoyed dancing with her and was in complete synch with the energetic Sandhya.

So don't forget to tune tonight to Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa —Dancing with the Stars to watch the stars tonight at 9:00 pm perform the waltz and Hip-Hop.

You have seen him as the suave & charming Mr. Bajaj and the kindhearted Mihir Virani. That's Ronit Roy for you. But on Jhalak Dikhhla… you see a different Ronit altogether. Ask Nicole his 19-year-old partner. The smiling teenager finds the popular soap hero far too strong to handle!

If you think the choreographer is the one to teach the star, here is another story. Ronit, himself a passionate dancer, wants every move to be perfect, every turn & twist to be in sync…and that's not tough for Nicole, but Ronit as a taskmaster frightens the life of this teenager who had chef Sanjeev Kapoor, last season actually eat out of her hands!

Will Nicole manage the taskmaster Ronit Roy...will they survive the elimination this Saturday, October 27 at 9.00 p.m. only on Sony Entertainment Television. ...Stay tuned!
