They all were very decent, Varnita. Not only Nandish, Rithvik and Rashmi were also very supportive and sweet when they lost. They wholeheartedly congratulated Gurmeet and hugged him. I mean, yeah they also had tears in their eyes, but they did not make a scene like Bharti.😳 As for Nandish, he was really sweet also. He looked naturally disappointed that his wife did not win, but he took it well at the same time and congratulated Gurmeet.😊

Aww that is so Sweet ❤️ I felt bad for Rashmi and Rithwik! They were amazing Dancers but there should be only one winner at the end! And I feel grateful to them for being so genuine with the victory of Gurmeet and congratulating him whole heartedly!

Nandishh is indeed so sweet <3 He and Debi much know each other from the early times, Remember they have done an add together?

lol I dont know what Bharti had Done when She was eliminated? 😕

Yes, it's true that there can only be one winner, and you know Gurmeet was right in saying that since all three made it to the finale, all three deserve to be the winner. But 1) we are fans of Gurmeet so naturally we feel happiest when he wins and 2) as sweet as Rashmi and Rithvik may be, it's most fair if a contestant who was there since episode 1 won, more than a wild card entry. But yeah, it's still sad that they lost because their humbleness makes us feel a bit sad for them.

Bharti just made a scene when she was eliminated, saying she didn't deserve it and all and that she was surprised she's eliminated when others in the show are being allowed to remain (I think she was talking about the wild card entries)...even Gia made a scene.🤔 But Bharti got over it I think, because she was rooting for Gurmeet during the finale.😆 I think she was just momentarily agree, which is natural actually.

Shanta Devi was Kaushalya's daughter, and the story is that when she was born, a friend of Dashrath, a sage called Romapad, was passing through the kingdom and congratulated Dashrath on the birth of his daughter. When Dashrath found out that the sage was childless, he felt himself overcome with sympathy and gave Shanta to Romapad. In gratitude, Romapad blessed Dashrath that he would have Gods as his children in the future and reared Shanta lovingly as his own daughter. Shanta later on was given in marriage to Rishyashringa, whom Dashrath later on approached for the putra kameshti yagna, remember? So Rishyashringa is actually Dashrath's son-in-law.

Shanta often visited her mother and father at Ayodhya and there are some folk stories that say that she was a friend to Sita and her sisters when they came to Ayodhya as brides.😊

So it's actually wrong to say Kaushalya was childless. She was not childless, but her child was taken from her at birth so she too was blessed to the divine payas after the putra kameshti yagna.😳

What Really? 😲😲😲 Is it So? OMG I didnt know that, thanku SO much for letting me now 🤗

OMG Risi Shringa was the Son in law of Dasharth?. 😲 Means the Four brothers born very very very late when Dashrath's First daughter already got married 😲😲 That is interesting 😃 I love all these behind stories of Ramayana! Thanks, Keep telling me whatever U know 😳

So yes, Dashrath was very old when Ram and his brothers were born. And though Rishi Shringa was his son-in-law, he still gave him the honor of a sage as you notice from the first epi of Ramayana. Dashrath was a great character.

Gurmeet Choudhary wins 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5'

He's proved he can dance

Gurmeet Choudhary is the winner of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 5. The actor talks toDivya Kaushik about his high and low points over the last four months, battling doubt and living up to fan expectations

More than excitement, Gurmeet Choudhary exuded a sense of relief and satisfaction as he spoke to us on phone minutes after lifting his trophy as a winner of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 5. We could hear the celebrations on the sets in the background but the TV actor, who rose to fame as the flamboyant Maan Singh Khurana in Geet Hui Sabse Parayi and now plays the subtle Yash inPunar Vivaah, was thinking what next. He believes that his versatile stage acts will finally open the doors to his ultimate destination: Films.

"Some offers came in while I was doing Jhalak but since I wanted to prove a point as a dancer, I didn't want to divert my attention or give them serious thought. But after this victory, I am sure of better opportunities coming my way and will consider them," said Gurmeet.

"Jhalak has meant a lot to me. It has changed my life forever and I have worked really hard in the last four months. There were testing times as I used to shoot for 12 hours for my daily show, travel for two hours and then rehearse for my performance. There were times when I really couldn't do justice to my practice sessions and thought I wouldn't make it. But some unknown passion drove me and I was able to reorient myself and focus on the goal," he added. Clearly, his journey was tough with both superlative and jerky performances and the judges testing him at each stage. "They always expected me to excel and surprise them. Thank God they raised the bar."

Jhalak has helped Gurmeet open up as an actor. "The show has helped me improve my dancing skills, which is a must for any good actor. Also it gave exposure to my talent and helped me expand my range. When you are acting in a daily soap, you are limited by the contours of your character. Your scope to innovate is limited because the audience expects you to act in a certain way. But in multi-performance shows like Jhalak, you have an immense opportunity to show people you can do different things and can mould yourself as an actor," said Gurmeet, whose expressions have been consistently praised by the judges.

Isn't he scared of the ephemerality of seasonal reality shows? "If you follow the past record of the show, you will notice that every contestant and every choreographer who was truly talented has been able to do what they wanted after their success in the show. So I was sure this was the right platform," he added.

The TV hunk, who is trained in martial arts, always wanted to learn dancing but somehow it was never possible. One of the major reasons he opted for the show was to take his passion for dancing seriously and get a crash course of sorts. "I have been a great fan of international dance forms like Rumba, Jazz and Breakdance but never got an opportunity to learn them. I knew a bit of this and that but I wanted to know more about the international dance forms as my body is suited to them. My choreographer in the show, Shampa, realised my strength and used it perfectly during training. Shampa has a keen eye to sense where I am going wrong. During the initial episodes I was never able to score high and Shampa and I thought a lot about it. Both of us realised that we needed to work on concepts that could layer our duets. That was when we came up with the jungle and robot dance. Our concepts were always loved in the show and I think that contributed to our victory. Sometimes it was mentally exhausting to always think of a new theme but our hard work paid off," explained Gurmeet. Post show, he promised to pursue his training in Breakdance and Rumba and specialise in them.

Finally, the humble artiste never forgot his fans of Geet Hui Sabse Parayi and now Punar Vivaah. "In any reality show, the love of your fans really counts. I never put my acting job at stake. Which is why when I performed on stage I always thought I couldn't let my fans down. They had an image of me, having supported me in roles that have defined me today, first as Maan Singh Khurana and now as Yash. I was aware of their high expectations and worked to improve myself. If today I am able to truly enjoy my win, it is only because I know I have done justice to my fans' expectations," he said.

Well, the artiste has also become a better human being. One of the best things that Gurmeet takes away from this show is the art of never saying no. "If you are really passionate about getting something, only hard work can get you there. I have learnt that there are tough times but there should be nothing to deviate you from your goal," he concluded. We raise a toast to that.

Madhuri ma'am was kind in giving marks; Remo was a strict judge ' Gurmeet Choudhary
