For me, Jhalak was a platform to meet Salman Khan

Nine-year-old Akshat Singh, who was eliminated from Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa this week, says he is not disappointed.

"Why should I cry over my elimination? Accha hai tension gaya. I was working very hard, did my best and I came this far. That was the best thing for me! For me, Jhalak was a platform to not only dance, but to meet Salman Khan. How else would I have met him?"

Akshat will now settle down in Mumbai. "I am not going back to my hometown Kolkata. I will join a school here. My parents are already looking for accommodation on rent and we will settle here along with my grandmother," he reveals. Ask him if he is happy about shifting to Mumbai and he says, "I want to become an actor. I am getting good offers to participate in dance shows. So, with studies, I can pursue that as a career. In fact, I will be happy if I get to act with Salman Khan."
