Gorgeous and charming Mouni Roy who is all set to shake her leg in the dance reality showJhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa Season 7 on Colors, will be seen grooving on the stage along with her choreographer Punti Pathak who is an acclaimed choreographer. Mouni who was seen in Life OK's Devon Ke Dev. Mahadev will be seen in a totally different avatar. The actress will be seen in different genre shaking her leg in front of the esteemed judges.

Here is Mouni talking about her first day at Jhalak, choreograpgher Punit and contestnats in conversation with us...

As we already know that you are very good dancer so made you to participate in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa season 7?

First of all it is a myth, that I am a good dancer. I can do dance I won't deny that but all Indian forms. Right now I am finding this whole thing very difficult and hopefully Punit Pathak will help to get better with different forms of dance as well.

As you have already seen Punit Pathak dancing, so what was your reaction when you got to know that Punit is your partner?

I am a Punit and Lauren's fan when I saw them dancing in the last season. You will see my reaction when the first episode will go on air. I was jumping, I was thrilled when I saw Punit as my partner. Then I thought its just the beginning as there is a long way to go and I will try to give my best performance.

When we asked Punit who is Mouni's partner that how is he feeling that he got Mouni as his partner?

Udti udti khabar aayi thi that some actors are in talks for this season and I had heard her name also. That time only I thought and hoped that I get Mouni as my partner because firstly she is very beautiful (laughs), secondly few weeks back I had choreographed Mouni's act forComedy Nights with Kapil, so we had interacted with each other and third I somehow getgood vibes from her even without meeting her. Here it is very important to have a good partnership and good chemistry. When two beautiful people come together, the performance will be beautiful.

You all have shot your first episode, so how was your experience?

I want Punit to say that because for me it was so chaotic mujhe kuch samajh nai aa raha tha. I was not talking to anyone I was like completely speaking to myself that okay I have to do that rest everything else is about technicality.

How difficult it is to choreograph Mouni?

In life whatever you do there are pros and cons, there is something nice and something bad. So here also with Mouni, there are few things which are easy for her, and there are few things which is little challenging for her. If I don't challenge her or push her then the level of our act will be little low. So we have to make sure that we push ourselves. It's not only about Mouni but I also have to push myself, mentally, conceptually and act wise also. So wahi koshishand we are trying also to keep growing after every performance.

When are you planning to come back on fiction shows Mouni?

I don't want to do anything. I have been getting calls but honestly I can't do anything when I am doing Jhalak. After Jhalak I will see, I will take my pick. I like doing things arramse as I am a lazy, easy going person and also I like doing one thing at a time. So let this get finish and then I will think over it.

Who is toughest contestant according to you?

All are very tough, because as we were talking about the contestants that talent between them this year is average or above average. Obviously with that they have a characterization, they have their X factor and plus points. Dancing wise everyone's capability is average or above so that way it is 19 -20 but baazi kon marta hai who har hafte pata chalega.

Punit you and Shakti were together in DID where she won, so don't you think so that she can be a tough contender as she herself is a dancer?

Yes she is a very good dancer. She is a fabulous dancer and also a great performer and she won that reality show which proves that she was a good dancer. Having said that she has come in a different limelight here and it will be challenging for her also because we all know that she is a good dancer but she will have to increase her level as I have to make sure that I have to increase Mouni's level of dancing. So everyone will be challenging to each other.

Every year there is a strong contender and somehow they do not get the Jhalak Trophy. This year too we have a strong dancer this season. What is your take over it?

I would like to answer this question, a winning does not really matter more than that journey matters more and according to me anything people remember from last season is Lauren and Punit. There are many factors as you cannot pin point that because of this they win or they lose, there are voting, there are marks and everything is put together nothing is fortunate or unfortunate. The most important is dancing and whosoever has got the privilege to dance on this great platform should appreciate that and give your best.

We wish Mouni and Punit all the very best!

Talented actor Kiku Sharda who is currently seen in Comedy Nightswith Kapil on Colors, F.I.R on SAB TVand in Akbar Birbal on Big Magic. He is has gained immense popularity for his comic timing in all the shows, he is loved for his female character of Palak. He is all set to shake his legs in dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa season 7 where he will not be seen as Kiku but will be seen as Palak.

We got in touch with the actor where he shared about his time management and more...

As you have participated in Nach Baliye season 6 with your wife and now in Jhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa Season 7 with a choreographer, so what is the difference and with whom you were more comfortable?

With every different girl it's always a good experience (Laughs). Well apart from the jokes there is a lot of difference in dancing because Kruti is a trained and a great dancer. When I was dancing with my wife I used to be relaxed as till the time she used to learning steps I used to take rest and sit but here she doesn't have to learn the steps as she knows all the steps and I don't get time to sit and relax. Waha mai apni biwi ke isharo pe naach raha tha aur yaha actually inke isharo par naach raha hun. Well as far as comfort zone is concerned, the one thing which needs to be looked upon is when we are dancing we don't bother about comfort and all but our entire concentration is on dancing as we have given our best. There wehusband and wife were working really hard and here also we are working hard only the difference is we both were putting more efforts as we both were non dancers and here I am dancing as a contestant with a choreographer who is great dancing where she has to take the efforts to teach me and I am finding little difficulty to match up the steps with Kruti.

As we have seen that you will be dancing as Palak on the stage of Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa, so will our audience be able to see the real Kiku on the stage or not?

This even I don't know, because I don't have an answer for this question as of now but may be or may not be. Let's see what will happen in the future.

You are doing many shows and in all the shows you have created a distinct identity like inF.I.R the character of Gulgule who is famous for getting slapped, Palak getting insulted by Sharmaji and even in the reality show you are not seen as Kiku, so what is the idea behind it?

I try my level best that whatever work I do, I try to make my audience laugh after watching any episode and they must feel and say that mazza aaya aur khushi hui. If it is because Kapil Sharma insults me and I say him talk to my hand or something else but our main motto is that wherever people watch the episode, people become happy and tend to laugh and enjoy it. It is for them that we are ready to do anything.

You already had three shows in hand which already kept your schedule busy but still you thought of doing Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa, so what made you to do Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa? How do you manage you time now?

Yes that true that I am already doing three shows and made my schedule tight. I knew that I will have to juggle between these three shows. But later in the middle I got offer from Jhalak and Jhalak has been a show which I wanted to do from many years because I have been watching Jhalak for many years and I enjoy it. I always used to think that kab Jhalak mujhe approach karega because I loving dancing as it is my hobby. So I really wanted to dance and there is no reason to deny the offer of Jhalak only the point was that Jhalak came at that time when I was already doing lots of shows. So this period of 3 and a half month which I will spend with Jhalak will be tough as I will have to juggle with my lots of work but I am ready to do it as I am a hard working person.

Talking about time management, it is very difficult because dance karna asaan nai hota it is very difficult. But I am trying hard and I don't think much about it because it will create pressure. I will do it happily aur jitna hoga utna karenge, everywhere I will do hard work and I just want that my work in any show doesn't suffer due to this extra work which I have accepted. For that I am trying hard and I hope that everything will fall in place. And I believe in that phrase that 'A busy man has time for everything', time nikala jata hai nikalta nai.

You do comedy and dancing is you hobby, so what you enjoy more?

Frankly I enjoy both equally, dancing as well as doing comedy. Mai dance utna hi enjoy karta hu jitna comedy. But yes due to my physique, my stamina, my fatigue and I have to put lot of physical efforts while dancing and comedy is done easily as compared to dancing but I enjoy both equally.

Palak's character is becoming very popular nowadays so don't you think so that it will become difficult for the audience to accept you in different character in future?

No I don't think so that there is anything as such, mai nai manta because today if you see anything like if I am playing the character of Gulgule's character in F.I.R and the show is on air for 7 to 8 years and if I give so many years to only one character that doesn't mean I will stick to that character. There will be more characters coming up in between that in fact I am happy that in my lifetime I have done some characters which will be remembered and I think Palak is a very important and interesting character which I have attempted in my acting career. It is a female character little difficult to carry something like this but I am happy that I have carried it and is also appreciated. So aise koi chaap nai pad jati, now also I do character of Laccha in Comedy Nights which is also been appreciated.

TellyBuzz wishes Kiku Sharda all the best for Jhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa Season 7
