Drashti is grateful to fans & feels larger than life on winning Jhalak but finds it difficult to believe that she actually won
Months of tasking schedule, sleepless nights, shedding blood, sweat, tears with their spirited and heart wrenching performances for over 16 weeks bruises and cramps...all the pain and hard work has finally paid off for Madhubala aka Drashti Dhami with Salman Yusuf Khan who very proudly bagged the Jhalak Trophy in the 6th installment on Saturday night in the presence of judges Karan Johar and Remo D'Souza. And have proved to the Trinity of Jhalak -Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Karan Johar and Remo D'souza and the viewers that they are the winners of the ultimate dance off -Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa 2013.

Drashti Dhami with the highest amount of votes in the Jhalak history. The no. 1 TV actress is now a popular Diva too.

Her never say die attitude, inimitable performances got her a lot of support from her fans and well-wishers that helped her bag the coveted title. Lauren Gottlieb and Sonali Majumdar were the first and second runner-up respectively.

Asked about her joining other reality shows, Drashti said right now her priority is Madhubala. "I will concentrate on Madhubala as I haven't given it too much time. As far as other reality shows are concerned, I don't know what I will do. As of now, I just want to rest and rejuvenate myself," she said.

Drashi-Salman team won the trophy as well as Rs50 lakh prize money. "I have no idea what I will do with the prize money as of now, lets see," Drashti said.


We must say her never say die attitude, inimitable performances got her a lot of support from her fans and well-wishers that helped her bag the coveted title. And a big thanks to her choreo-partner Salman Yusuff Khan. "Salman, my choreographer, was very understanding and pushed me to the level that has made me a dancer. Lastly, I will always be grateful to my fans who've always recognized my hard work, and never stopped showing their love through their votes," said Drashti.

The Grand Finale evening was graced by the Greek God of Bollywood - Hrithik Roshan along with Priyanka Chopra. The duo boosted the morale of the finalists who graced the stage one last time to give in their best.

India knew Drashti Dhami as a household name for her incredible acting skills as Madhubala but her challenge was to prove herself as a dancer without any prior professional training. With her choreo-partner Salman's supportive mentoring, Drashti transformed into one of the most graceful dancers on the Jhalak stage. Drashti has portrayed some breath taking performances from bollywood to hip hop, from semi-classical to international danceforms like Rumba and Paso Doble. A well deserving winner of the trophy, Drashti juggled between shooting for a daily soap and rehearsing for Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. During the course of the show, Drashti did go through some lows but she bounced back as a fighter thanks to the immense love and support she received from the viewers.


Drashti was balancing television soap Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon along with Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.The work pressure was so high that she told her choreographer, Salman Yusuf Khan, that she wants to quit. "I did think of quitting. There was a time when I started getting low scores. The amount of energy, which I was trying to put into my performances, was not showing."
"After a month and a half, there is no physical strength left. It is only mental strength. I was so tired, I told Salman that I want to quit. He was shattered," she added.
"But I knew, I would not give up...I know myself," she added. The 28-year-old described winning the show as a "larger than life" feeling.
"It is a proud moment. It is larger than life feeling. But I am very tired and really zoned out right now," she said.

When asked about the victory, she said, "I find it difficult to believe that I've actually won considering there were such great dancers with me in the competition. But after receiving appreciation from the judges, I was motivated to improve my performances with every passing week. Yes, I did believe my body was giving up in between as it's not easy to shuffle between two shows but the judges encouraging words were like a morale booster that helped me give my best always. Salman, my choreographer,was very understanding and pushed me to the level that has made me a dancer. Lastly, I will always be grateful to my fans who've always recognized my hard work, and never stopped showing their love through their votes."
The show's hosts Kapil and Manish were at their humorous best and were accompanied by Kapil's newest family aka Ali Dadi' Asgar and Sunil Gutthi' The ex-contestants of this season Sana Saeed, Mukti Mohan and Sidharth Shukla also gave an explosive performance on Raghupati Raghav from the movie Krish 3. Not just this, season5 contestants Rashmi Desai and Karan Wahi along with the last year winner Gurmeet Chaudhary showcased some fun-filled performances on the latest hits.
On the occasion of the Super Finale, Manisha Sharma, Weekend Programming Head, COLORS said, "This season we wanted to surprise audiences with pure dancing and fierce competition right from day one. Thanks to the incredible performances by our celebrity talent who dared to go beyond the usual and made Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa a top performer in the weekend and the No.1 dance reality show in India."
Jhalak Dikhhhla Jaa, the local adaptation of the BBC Worldwide format Strictly Come Dancing, is produced in over 40 countries worldwide including India. Myleeta Aga, the Senior Vice President and General Manager, BBC Worldwide, India and Content Head Asia commented on the Season Finale, "This season of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa we promised a bigger canvas with the bar being raised in terms of presentation and concepts and with the Super Finale I am content that we have achieved that. The winner Drashti Dhami truly redefined dancing by delivering international standards of performances this season

Since Saturday morning #VoteForDrashti & #DrashtiShouldWinJDJ6 trended for 14 & 10:15 hrs respectively!

A proud moment for all her fans that Drashti after all her hard work got the love of fans via their votes & the trophy of Jhalak season 6

I was in another zone, reveals Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 6winner Drashti Dhami


What were your immediate thoughts when you were announced the winner?
Honestly, I don't remember what happened, I was in another zone. My family came up on stage,
my brother lifted me, but for some 30 seconds, I was completely lost! Of course, I am glad that my hard work paid off. There was a point when I wanted to quit. My scores were low, my body had given up, I was completely exhausted juggling between the shoot for Madhubala and Jhalak... But Salman (Yusuff Khan - partner-choreographer) encouraged and motivated me.

At some point your co-contestants felt that you were being favoured...
I don't know about that because nobody said anything to me on my face. And if I was being favoured, I would have just come for a couple of hours for the shoot and gone. Instead, I used to be on the sets for more than six hours, rehearsing, performing and then rushing off for my Madhubala shoot!

How was your journey on the show?
It's been interesting and something I will cherish forever. Especially the judge's comments like Karan (Johar) saying I was better than Kareena when I performedHalkat Jawani (Heroine), or the one where they said I am meant to be the brand ambassador for Jhalak, (she started as a non-dancer) or that I look like a movie star! I remember in the beginning, everybody was saying good things, I was looking nice and generally running on adrenaline. I also remember the Egyptian act which got a lot of appreciation.

When I was rehearsing for it everything was going wrong, but the performance turned out well. The same happened with Humko Aaj Kal Hai (Madhuri Dixit's hit song from Sailaab)! I was really nervous about performing the song in front of Madhuri.

Tell us about your last performance on the Rangeela song?
The 3D mapping graphics act (where she had to match the steps with the graphics on LED and the floor) was something nobody has attempted on TV before. It was difficult and I myself didn't know what I was doing. Finally, when I saw it I was amazed that it turned out so well.

What next?
Now that Jhalak.. is over, I want to put myself completely into the character ofMadhubala. She is a strong, independent girl but these past few days I haven't been able to concentrate on her.

If not you, who would you have liked to see as the winner?
Lauren and the kids are dancers, so it would have to be Shaan because like me he started from scratch.

"It feels like a dream come true!" - Salman Yusuf Khan

After a long journey of more than three months in one of India's biggest dance reality show, Madhubala Ek Ishq Ek Junoon fame Drashti Dhami and choreographer Salman Yusuf Khan finally were announced as the winner of the show.

On his much deserved victory, Salman expresses his happiness with TellyBuzz...

How does it feel to win the competition?

Jhalak Dikhla Jaa is one of the biggest dance reality shows on Indian television. Winning the competition feels tremendously great. I really had a great time in Jhalak and I feel absolutely blessed with the faith and love everybody has showered on me.

How was your journey with Jhalak Dikhla Jaa?

It may sound clichd but it feels like a dream come true. I always wanted to be famous and it's not only being recognized but also being known for my work. I feel short of words when I think of my journey and I have to say that I'm living my dream. However, this season of Jhalak turned out to be more knowledgeable for me and also helped me to become a better choreographer. Personally, I have definitely groomed as an artist and now I feel more confident than before.

This is the third time you were a choreographer in Jhalak. How has this season been different than the earlier ones?

Jhalak has never been just a competition for me; it has always been a learning process. Having being participated in earlier two seasons and not winning it despite of putting in all my efforts and hard work, somewhere was disappointing. So, I had put all my heart, blood and soul for this season and left everything on God. Even though we were doing well in the competition, I have always worked whole-heartedly without being over-confident.

How has Drashti Dhami been as a student?

Drashti has proved to be the best student so far. Knowing the fact that she had to juggle between her daily soap and the dance rehearsals, Jhalak was a challenge for both of us. Irrespective of the time constraints, we managed to pull it off. Moreover, I'm a difficult person to work with because I don't compromise with my work. No matter how much ever tired she used to be after her 12 hours shift, I made sure that the 4 hours she committed to rehearsals were purely devoted to serious practice.

What had been your strength throughout the show?

My major strength throughout the show has been my dedication and hard work towards my work. I just love the fact that we were much appreciated by all the judges and the audience. So, the work satisfaction makes me feel content and winning the show is an add on!

Who has been your toughest competitor in the show?

My toughest competitor in the show has been Drashti and Salman. As a matter of fact, I have always concentrated on my own growth rather than bothering about others.

Have you made any good friend in this show?

Yes! Thanks to Jhalak that I have got a good friend in Drashti. It was a treat working with her. Now that we both will get busy with our work, I'll really miss her and the entire Jhalak team, as we all had become a family. Nevertheless, I will miss the stage!

Which is your most memorable dance act on Jhalak?

I think my most memorable dance act on Jhalak was our performance in the Grand Finale, the 3D mapping graphics act, whereby we had to match the steps with the graphics on LED and the floor. It was something that nobody has ever attempted on Indian Television before.

What are you going to do with the cash prize?

First of all, I owe a party to my friends and family. Then I would also donate a certain amount from the cash prize and save the rest of them to buy a house in Mumbai.

What are your future plans?

My forthcoming movie Freedom will be releasing early next year. Also, I am choreographing all the songs for Anubhav Sinha's next flick. In addition to this, I'll be going on a world tour very soon, followed by many events, so as of now I have lot many things in my kitty.

In future, if offered a reality show or a daily soap on television, will you be keen on doing it?

I don't know as it depends on the concept of the show. If it excites me then I'm surely thinking about it! As an actor I want to be versatile. I want to try my hands in all the genres right from comedy to action. There are no limits to it. I prefer quality projects. However, I cannot do daily soaps as it's too exhausting and for me daily soaps are like 9 to 5 job, which I'm not comfortable with. And that is the precise reason I left behind my career as a Mechanical Engineer.

Message to your fans?

To all my fans, thank you so much for your support. It is your love that pushes me to the limit and encourages me to work endlessly. I don't care if I break my bone but nothing will stop me till the time my work is accepted and cherished
