The lover boy Karan Tacker who
has won million hearts with his
shows Rang Badalti Odhani, Ek
Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai
and Halla Bol, has also managed
to strike a chord with the
audience with his stint as a
dancer on the stage of
Colors' Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (BBC
Worldwide Media).
Here we bring to you an excerpt
from a candid conversation that
we had with the hot and sexy
young man at the launch of the
show sometime back.
"I am so excited about the show
and it's completely a never felt
emotion for me. I actually feel like
a young bride on a doli who
doesn't know whether I should
be laughing or crying. There is so
much going on in my mind and I
really don't know how to express
it," said a smiling Karan.
Being a not so good dancer, the
actor shared, "I am actually
worried and nervous about what
is going to happen as the
competition starts flowing. I
don't even have an idea of all the
dance forms and there is also a
bit of problem with my body. If
my legs are moving, my hands
don't move and vice versa
(laughs). I guess moving the
whole body will be a bit of a
problem for me."
The show will also have lots of
international dance forms, so
which one is giving him a
nightmare, we wondered. "I
didn't even know that apart from
Salsa there are more Latin dance
forms; so basically all of them are
giving me nightmares. I also
don't basically understand why
these dances have us
passionately touching ourselves
rather than our partner (winks).
With the judges deciding on
being extra strict this season,
Karan had his take on the same.
"I think it's my bad luck that I
have come in on the most
difficult season of the show. The
judges are extra strict; an
international choreographer is
there as a judge and all kinds of
impossible dance forms are to be
performed. It seems the makers
have put us in a juicer and
switched on the double grinder
machine," laughed the man.
The actor had always maintained
that he does not want to do a
reality show, so we asked him
what made him change his mind.
"I think till now nobody had
approached me so lovingly, that I
just could not refuse. The
channel had wanted me to
do Khatron Ke Khiladi which I
really wanted to do, but could
not as I had my commitment
withHalla Bol. When JDJ was
offered I thought I should give it
a try," he shared.
Karan further added,
"Drashti has played a
pivotal role in making
me agree to the project,
as I discussed the offer
with her quite deeply.
Also my mom had
always asked why I
never take part in such
shows, so yes, I
somewhere also wanted
to make her happy."
And finally when we questioned
whether he feels his popularity
will help him win the show, the
actor smiled, "Of course being a
TV star I know people love me
but rather than just love I would
want my fans to also vote for me
feeling that I deserve to be in the
competition. I want my fans to
be proud of me."
We are sure they will be, Karan!
