How has your journey been throughout?
It has been fantastic; in fact, it was more fun than I expected! It was one of the best experiences.
Do you think that you did not get enough time to prove yourself as a dancer?
No, actually I think I proved myself right from the first episode. I came on the show to break away from my stern image and that mission was accomplished in the first episode. People got a clear picture of what Ram Kapoor is… so, no regrets.
Juhi said that you provided entertainment value to the show. What do you have to say about that?
Yes, that's what I wanted! I wanted to show people the real side of me which is the fun side and I proved that. Now people know me and I am happy with that!
Were you expecting your elimination?
I think I've survived here for very long. I expected to be eliminated within one month only but I survived for two!
What went wrong?
As I said earlier, I expected to be evicted much sooner than this. Voting obviously wouldn't have caused any problem but the level of dancing was very high. In fact, I think I was eliminated at the right time because if I continued it would have been very difficult for me.
How did you get along with your choreographer Marischa?
Marischa is very sweet, she has been very cooperative. She would work out moves that weren't difficult for me to carry off.

How much do you miss Jhalak?
I am engaged with some other project so I really don't have much time. But yes, I do miss my gang, as in, my friends. I made some real good friends there whom I miss.
Have you managed to lose some weight?
Yes, I've lost 6-7 kilos (smiles).
How would you now rate yourself as a dancer after these two months?
Earlier I was 2/10 but now I am 5/10. I've really improved dancing wise, thanks to Marischa.
Who do you think deserves to win on Jhalak?
Karan, because he is a very hardworking and a very good dancer.
If given a chance, would you like to reenter through the wildcard entry?
Well… I will be performing for the wildcard episode for which I've already started rehearsing. But I don't think I'll make it as a wildcard entrant.
Kasamh Se has wrapped up and you're done with Jhalak, what's next?
There are many things. Something big is surely happening which you will all come to know of soon. All I can tell you is that it is a very big project and I've begun working on.
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa airs every Friday and Saturday at 9pm on Sony TV.
