I first saw Jay in Kayamath. The OST of the show was quite catchy. I only knew him from that opening title track - never bothered watching the show as such.
Then came DID Season 1 (end of 2008). I was never a fan of his hosting skills, but his chemistry with Sowmya Tandon on the show was pretty charming. To me, he always came across as a sweet, mama’s boy kinda person which is why I never took him seriously. My eyes were glued to Sowmya’s hazel eyes. Fast forward to Bigg Boss 15 and the Jay I am seeing is a matured, fiery, masculine hunk pumped on testosterone. His quick thinking, witty behavior and a natural knack of putting Pratik in his place has won me over. I still don’t have any favorites or idols this season (like I ever had any in any season! 🙄). But yes, I’m finidng his new side interesting. I appreciate how he takes a stand for himself and stands firm. Sahil, Simba, and Umar are invisible. Vishal does his best, and Ieshan always makes an effort to be heard. But yes, Jay Bhanushali is definitely leading the tribe. Go Jay!
