Parul: Gauhar is better, but God's with me
It was a choice between rivals Parul Chauhan and Gauhar Khan during Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa's last elimination and Gauhar ended up going home. But that wasn't for long…she fought hard in the wildcard episode and is now back on the platform, turning on the heat for the other contestants, especially nemesis Parul. We talk to Parul, who's 'not taking names' as she tells us about being portrayed badly onscreen due to clever editing of arguments, the elimination round when she was in the face off round with Gauhar and the model's reentry on the show.
Were you shocked to be in the bottom two and dance in the face off?
I was aware that I would be in the face off round so I wasn't shocked. I was just praying that I wouldn't be eliminated. The day I got low marks, I was sure I'd be in the bottom two but I decided that whatever happens, I would do my best. When I had to perform, touch wood, whatever I did, God helped me.
Do you think that Gauhar dances better than you?
Yes, everyone knows that. See, I will not lie about it. I came on the show as a complete non-dancer and I have just become a dancer. I didn't know what dance was before learning the forms and the a b c of it here. I have worked hard, day and night. From day one, Gauhar was a good dancer. On the other hand, I learnt how to dance. It's a big achievement for me to have become a dancer here and I am proud of it.
You mentioned that you have no problem getting votes from the public because of your popularity on Bidaai. Are you still confident?
I've seen the video of my comments again and many people asked me about them. What you see on the show is very different from what happens there. Many times, instances have aired that show me in a negative light. I want to make one thing clear: there is a limit to everything. Someone was continuously saying things against me and I ignored it for a while. I will not name the person but things were said against me. And if I am not saying anything wrong to anyone, there is no reason for someone to say something wrong about me. I said I was doing India's number one show (Bidaai) and I am very lucky that I got Deepak as my choreographer. Everyone hoped Deepak would be their choreographer.
What do you think are your chances of winning on the show?
Here, everyone has a chance of winning. The competition is very tough now so everyone is working hard. Nobody knows who's going to last till the final. Everything depends on luck.
What are your thoughts on Gauhar coming back through the wildcard entry?
It's not a shock to me. No matter which two people remain in the final, they will be tough competition for each other. Suppose I reach there, and the other person is stronger than me, it's naturally going to be tough. I will have to work hard, whether it is Gauhar or Hard Kaur.
