i agree with one point that it should be the contestants who get attention rather than hosts and judges. even i'm against the way every guests do silly cheesy acts for MD.. MD is defo top in bollywood. but there is a limit for everything..esp repeated things.
Coming to hosts. No matter whether it is a dance show, singing show the way it presents matter alots. audience shouldnt get bored and dull feeling. it is host's duty too. manish and kapil hav a presence of mind , energy and cheerfulness which a host must posses. it is a inborn talent.and DD and ranvir both lack this quality.
Regarding the pairing, well previous seasons had male-female pairings. i will defo prefer mona as female host. she is cheerful and graceful same time.
and about dressing, being an indian show,, the audience being indians, we need to go indian style and a bit tradition. from last seasons, it is very difficult to watch these shows infront of my mom and dad. esp the female stars and choreographers dressings... well, people can ask me to grow up or blah blah. but this is what indian culture is. a bit reserved type.

Jhalak is an indian show so i really dont think they should have their own entertainment standards...to be honest indians in almost every family want comedy where ever they get it...its indians need i should say in the us there is variety in television not in india to be honest we just started changing our content other than boring saas bahu that keeps going on
We love entertainment to most families who watch reality shows ball room is boring...funny hosts is half the reason my parents and bro watched jdj...i get its a dance show but jdj will not get any trps with just dance:/ i live and was born in the us i do watch American tv and indian i know they have two standards two different audiences...so there's no reason to compare the two both are greak in their own ways ;))
Ps: i don't wanna offend you but its just my view :)

I kinda agree with you...what u said abt manish is so right he always is praising MD n that pallu thing is so irritating..he acts so immature when it comes to her...I wanted it to be kapil rather than Manish..he was better...n I agree about the male female hosting...I have seen the American version..n it solely focuses on the contestants...but here the judges n hosts take more limelight a than the contestants...which I think is unfair..I would have like DD n kapil hosting it together

You can't compare Indian and US shows. If they have one sophisticated host and one comedy host then hosting will be balance. Indian audience generally prefer comedy in each and every program unless it is KBC.😆 Coming to Drashti, she has shortcomings to do host job, she doesn't require to be funny host like Bharati, but she can't even be normal host as she has Weak dialogue delivery, no voice modulation, she isn't sharp which are important for hosting and she can't work on her dialogue delivery and voice modulation now as she has those weakness since beginning of her career.

Someone has rightly said

Show sirf teen cheezo se chalti hai - ENTERTAINMENT, ENTERTAINMENT AND ENTERTAINMENT

If these shows get packaged as classy , elegant and all then no one is gonna watch these shows again! I as a viewer will like to get entertained by watching a show and dances rather than hearing boring comments like UK-US style... Anyways this is show catered for Indian audience and not US!

Sadly in case of DD , the "type" of hosting wasn't really the matter . Was that Ranvir guy some awesome comedian ? No...but he at least had the abilities which a host needs . As per media reports DD wasn't comfortable with hosting at all ! She used to take 10-12 retakes every time , even through teleprompter couldn get her lines right & thus used to waste loads of time & energy of the unit . Though audience might not like her bcoz of her lack of humorous punchlines , but the show unit was annoyed with her coz she was giving loads of trouble while shooting & was wasting a good amount of time . In this industry time is valued very much & so they just couldn stand & waste so much time on a single host when the show is all about 12 dancers participating in a dance contest . So they had to remove her & bring someone seasoned enough who could do the job without wasting so much time & hence they could focus on the dancers . JDJ is not a "how to host" teaching charity school where some ameture can "learn" hosting , its a national level dance reality show where the host has to b a professional & "do" the job with ease .



Isnt it interesting, that media didnt point out , the retakes and tele-prompter during the Press Conference , which she was hosting also...why suddenly , from the sources of set, this was pointed out by the media, I am intrigued.

Were the media blind , when she was hosting live , in front of them...well they did mention that she was a bit nervous...but they were pretty sure about her improving...i am still intrigued with media?!!!!

I agree that Manish's pallu holding was irritating .
To Be Honest , Drashti was not a good host . Hosting is not just about cracking jokes or entertaining people . They are just add-ons in Indian TV to get TRPs .

Hosting has more to do with being spontaneous . And Drashti was not spontaneous .

There is no point in defending her hosting skills . It is good that she , being an actor , tried a new thing . She needs MORE time and any channel cant give that . Coz its business .

in india hosting is being cute , funny and little impromptu ..
Drashti was very nervous ... it looked awkward when she was mouthing lines when ranvir was talking .. she was lost and tried to act and read lines ( which she is more comfortable ) rather than being natural ..
and if maybe retakes werent getting on everyone nerves maybe Channel wd have given her more time to improve .. Judges and participants and crew cant wait around until a host gets her lines right ..

even though Manish's antics are annoying he is at ease and very much on the spot ..
well good luck for future 😊

All I would say is everyone cannot be good at everything .drashti is a good actor no doubt but its not necessary she should be a good host too.she tried but failed its alright u cannot win everytime so its good she left the show.coming to Manish Paul I know he overacts sometimes but he is a good host overall .his hosting keeps audience hooked .more than kapil I enjoyed his hosting.last year due to kapil and his competition he went a bit overboard I think.but in jhalak season 5 with ragini he hosted the show marvelously.and ragini I really miss her even last year I misses her presence.she was just herself on the show,never over did her job and complimented Manish quite well.she is the one actress who defines grace I really like her screen presence and her dressing sense as well.this time I dint like drashti's dresses as well I dint find it good.drashti is beautiful and she could looks very pretty but this jhalak ppl dint provide her with proper wardrobe.I just hope to see Manish and ragini becoz 2 men as host makes the comedy too boring sometimes.I just hope dey bring back Manish and ragini.
