TOI-Rashmi is tough competition: Rithvik Dhanjani

Rashmi Desai and Karan Wahi on Colors TV's dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. And since then, his performances have been very impressive.

Rithvik Dhanjani continues to be a strong contender to win the title this season, as he finds his way into the top 5. But it's not easy as it looks. Rithvik works hard during his technical rehearsals, "I rehearse in the nights and I don't sleep much. I've barely slept properly for the past seven -eight months. I even left my gym because of Jhalak. My sessions here have become my workout".

Besides, there is also tough competition. "Isha Sharvani's dance is out of the world and she's a trained dancer. On a little lesser level, Rashmi Desai is big competition because she is fantastic! But how I look at the competition as a whole is if I've performed better than the previous week.

In the end, it's only dancing that matters. "I love dancing and I am a dancer at heart! Coming to the Jhalak stage, I'm learning the basics and the different dance forms. I just go all out on the stage. I've never learned dancing so our routine gets completed on the day of the shoot because I take a day to incorporate it".

All we can say, Rithvik can dance sala!
