Anushka Sharma to show off her skills on JDJ 3
Anushka Sharma is sweating it out at the gym and rehearsing with a vengeance to make sure she is ready to rock the dance floor on dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 3, which airs this weekend. The actress is making an appearance on the show to promote Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi's DVD launch. We caught up with her to get the details of her performance, her new film and rumours of her exclusive contract with Yashraj.
Coming here has been a very good experience. I have come for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi's DVD launch and what better platform to choose than Jhalak. It is a hit show, watched by so many peoples.
Tell us about your upcoming performance on Jhalak.
If you've seen Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, the song Huale Haule has Suri, played by Shah Rukh Khan, performing on it. So, for the first time, Tani, my character from the film, is going to be dancing to it! And as I am performing on the track for the first time, I'll have to rehearse really hard. It is the remixed version of Haule Haule and Hard Kaur has rapped to it. The song is lovely and I am really looking forward to it. I think it's already playing on radio stations so people are aware of it.
Have you been following the show?
Yes, I have been watching Jhalak. Hard Kaur is my favourite amongst all the contestants. She is really fun and a fabulous dancer. She is a complete package and is tremendously entertaining.
Did you give the contestants any tips?
I have not given anyone any tips; they are all good dancers. In fact, I looked at their performances to try and figure out who is the best. I even looked to see if I could copy some of their steps! I'm alright at dancing but have no professional training. For Rab Ne?, Shaimak and Vaibhavi worked really hard so that the sequences turned out good. I just followed their instructions and I did okay. Now, as I am used to dancing, I can perform better than I did earlier; I have a little more confidence.
Have you considered participating in a reality show?
I don't know; I don't think about my future too much. I have not appeared in many reality shows. The first time was on Nach Baliye to promote my film and this time I am on Jhalak for the DVD launch.
What's your next project?
My next is a Yashraj film, directed by Parmeet Sethi. I am starring opposite Shahid Kapur. If I tell you what it is about you will think that it is clichd but actually, it is a very different movie. I have the read script and have fallen in love with it completely. I was so excited to start work on it. It is a fabulous movie and I am going to enjoy it.
Are you allowed to do projects outside Yashraj?
I do have a contract with Yashraj. When I signed Rab Ne?, it was in my contract that I would be doing two other movies with them. But this is not an exclusive contract and does not say that I cannot work on other projects. It was misunderstood by people; I was getting outside offers and everything was fine. I can sign films outside of Yashraj.
Do you think your career started off slow?
I do not agree with this. Even when I was modeling, I would choose my assignments carefully. For me, it is not about signing 5-6 films and people talking about it. I will do projects only when I want to and when they excite me. This is something that I entirely believe in. I am choosing my projects the same way I was while I was modeling. This way, I will not head in a wrong direction.
How has your life changed?
Well, people are recognising me now when I go out, which is really very sweet. It lets you know that they have watched you in film and they liked you. My life has not changed completely at all apart from this.
Which team are you supporting from the IPL?
I am a very smart person; I am going to support the team that wins. I will watch each match and cheer for the team that I feel is winning.
Anushka will be performing along with all the choreographers from Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa on Saturday's episode at 9pm. The wildcard entrant will also be declared during the episode.
