After winning the sixth edition of
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa as a contestant,
beautiful actress Drashti Dhami is
now all set to host the upcoming
season of the dance reality show.
The actress, who is donning the hat
of a host of a reality show for the first
time speaks about Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa,
hosting and life.
Acting to hosting a reality show.
Is it difficult? It's difficult because
I've never done hosting before. I
think I've become a pro in dancing
now by learning performances.
What are the challenges that you
are facing while hosting? I think
more than challenges, there's a lot
to learn. Like you have to be
impromptu, you should have a good
sense of humor, if your co-host
fumbles you should be able to cover
it up. I think when you don't know
people you face problems but once I
start meeting up people I think
everything will be fine.
Manish Paul has set a benchmark
so is there a lot of pressure on
you because of that?
I would like to tell everyone, please
don't have a lot of expectations from
me as I would be doing something
very different. I can't try to do what
he did, he's a pro in it. I can't be
there where he was but I will try to
do what he did on the show.
How is your chemistry with
Ranveer Shorey? It's nice. We are
still coming along. We have met four
to five times when we were getting
shortlisted. He's a nice guy and helps
me whenever I go wrong so it will
be interesting doing a show with
him. He balances out for me. I would
rather have somebody who is more
experienced than me so that he can
cover up for me when I go wrong.
What are the changes that you
have witnessed in yourself post
Jhalak?
I think I've become more confident
now. I was really nervous the last
time but at least there is a relief that
I am not going to be dancing and
getting scored on it. I will be
comfortable with everyone this
time.
Are you a witty person? I am a very
sarcastic person. My jokes are very
sarcastic so I don't think people will
really come to know what I am
saying most of the time.
What about your link-up with
Siddharth Shukla? It's quite
offending. I meet somebody after a
year and they have gone ahead to
write we are dating. Do you think I
have so much time? I am very busy
with my life and I've no time. I am
very happy being single. I genuinely
met him at the Gold awards and
because we are from the same
channel, I sat with him. I swear by
God whoever has written that news
will burn in hell and should be
castrated. Right now, I don't think I
need anybody new in my life.
But there is no smoke without
fire? Some media people make the
smoke and make the fire to get their
TRPs high.
Any tips for the contestants?When
you are really tired and think that
you are going to die, just put in
another 10 per cent of hard work and
you will win it.
There are a lot of news about
Madhubala going off-air? I think
by now everyone must have
understood that they were all
rumours as it was reported in the
media that the show was going off-
air on 24 May 2014 and we are
already in June 2014. So the show is
not going anywhere.
But the TRP's are drastically
going down? That happens with
every show. Sometimes it goes up
and sometimes it simply doesn't
work. There are hundred people
working on the show and everyone
is trying their best. We will see what
happens.
