While Colors' much talkable show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 8 is all set for its kick start this weekend, there are contestants who are juggling between shows and taking out time for the rehearsals as well. One of those is our lovable Simar aka Dipika Kakar who is all excited for showing her Jhalak as a dancer on the reality show.

We got in conversation with the actress to know about her passion for dance, how is she managing time between daily soap to reality show and much more

Earlier you have never participated in any reality shows, so why Jhalak Dikhla Jaa?

I love dancing even though I am not trained and hence Jhalak will be my training ground to learn dance. I see it like an intense dance workshop and sine I love dance; I am really looking forward to it.

You have gained lot of appreciation for your acting skills, and now you will be showcasing your dance talent. How are you preparing for it?

I am trying my best to balance between acting and dancing by shooting in the day time forSasural Simar Ka while I rehearse as much as I can in the nights. I am trying to be a good student and learn the most I can from my choreographer.

Will it be difficult for you to manage your daily soap Sasural Simar Ka with Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa?

It's going to be a challenge but I am up for challenges as that's when one can learn the most.

Talking about the Judging panel, to whose comment are you looking forward to?

I am looking forward to the comments from all our judges and dance gurus because each has their own specialty. While Shahid is an actor and a tremendous dancer, Ganesh is a choreographer while Karan has mastered the art of direction as well as acting and choreographer. Lauren on the other hand was one of us just a few seasons back so she understands the pressures of being a contestant. Each judge and mentor plays a crucial role. I'm looking forward to Lauren Gottlieb and Ganesh Hegde helping us as gurus while Karan Joharand Shahid Kapoor will be judging us.

What would you like to say about your fellow contestants, who are the toughest one according to you?

It's way too early to figure out who our toughest competitors are. I would rather just compete with myself!

Lastly, what are your expectations from the show?

I am expecting to learn a lot and enjoy myself! My two main motives for doing Jhalak is to learn dance and have a great time while learning!

TellyBuzz wishes Dipika a very good luck for her new show!

5 reasons why Sanaya Irani is currently the most talked about celebrity in Tellywood

Here are five reasons why people are crazy about her and why she is considered as the top actress of the industry.

Sanaya Irani stands strong on various charts featuring the top actors in the television industry. She is the most popular and the most loved celebrity. Sanaya is God gifted and her contribution to the industry is remarkable. Here are five reasons why people are crazy about her and why she is considered as the top actress of the industry.

1. She has looks that would make Grumpy cat smile!


Sanaya is one of the most adorable actresses. Her looks have made boys go crazy for her. Sanaya has a face that attracts which is ideal for any TV show. If you Google for Sanaya Iranicute pics' you will find a ton of them as she looks cute even when she is angry or showing any other emotion!

2. Her versatility is of a different level


From geek to a military cadet, she fits in to roles you cannot imagine. Sanaya has the ability to grasp any sort of character and she improvises it with her own style. If we make a list of the number of roles she could play, it would take ages even to make such a list!

3. Quality acting guaranteed!


Since Sanaya absorbs the essence of the character to its core, she gives out excellent outputs. Everything from her dialogue delivery to her expressions is just too good. She balances her act so that nothing seems over-acted or under-acted.

4. She has done only a handful of shows but has given her best performance


Unlike other actors in the industry, Sanaya doesn't have a bucket full of shows she has done. But whatever she has done has taken her on top of the ladder that many actors have been trying to reach since a very long time. The success that Sanaya has achieved is equivalent to what some of the veteran actors have achieved after decades of work in the industry. #respect

5. She has millions of fans worldwide!


She has millions of fans in our country. But ever since Indian shows are being dubbed and telecasted worldwide, her fan following has skyrocketed! With fans in countries like the USA, European countries and even Russia, Sanaya has become an international sensation.

Sanaya will be seen back on screen after a long time in the reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8. We are going to see her in a completely different avatar as she competes in a dance faceoff opposite some really good actors as well as dancers. We wish Sanaya the best of luck! Do you think Sanaya has the moves like Jagger?

I did not even blink my eyes when Jhalak was offered to me: Lauren Gottlieb

The ABCD girl Lauren Gottlieb shares her excitement for her debut project as a judge on popular dancing realty show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 8

Colors' has kick started the promotions for its upcoming popular dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Ja 8 with popular celeb contestants like Vivan Dsena, Sanaya Irani, Kavita KaushikFaisal Khan, Mohit Malik, Radhika Madhan, Ashish Chowdhry, Rapper Raftar, Shamita Shetty,Dipika Kakar and many more...

Along with the popular contestants, this time we have the ex-contestant turned Judge Lauren who is keen on showcasing her judging skills on the show. Here's Lauren in a candid chat with Telly Buzz

What was your first reaction, when Jhalak was offered to you as a judge?

I didnt even blink my eyes and said yes to it. There were many shows coming in my way but for some unknown reasons I couldnt say yes to them. And then came Jhalak offered. It was my gut instinct that made me take up the show as Jhalak is like my family now.

How has your journey been from a contestant to now to a judge?

It has been superb! These two years of my life has been full of surprises and shocks. After coming to Jhalak I got a name and people started recognizing me, then later I got the tag of the ABCD girl and eventually projects started coming my way. There have been many opportunities coming my way but I am glad that I got to take up my family project which is close to my heart.

So are you ready to showcase your judging side?

As this time Jhalak is reloaded it truly seems to be one. There are different judges, a new set up and everything will be refereshing. Along with me there is Ganesh Hegde, we are the dance gurus who have to work on technicality whereas on the other side we have Shahid Kapoor andKaran Johar who will be looking for the overall package.

How will you be as a judge, strict or friendly?

You know that compassion comes into play! Having been a contestant on the show previously, I know how hard it is and how much blood, sweat and tears go into each performance. But once we get into the technique part, I have to see the execution and creativity coming in from the choreographers especially. So once the contestants start performing different dance forms, I will have to get a bit stricter at the execution and technical level.

You have done films and now getting again into television, so what do you prefer?

I like films because we get to enact different characters and it is too much of fun. It is a larger than life dream world to live in. You get to express yourself through various different characters and so I would love to continue that especially after being a part of a 100 crore film and I am expecting more offers to come in (Smiles). But yes the power of television can not be neglected as because of television and Jhalak I got famous and people started knowing me. So I can never pick one over the other.

We wish Lauren good luck!

"Remo and I have our own individual USPs," Ganesh Hegde

Ganesh Hegde in candid chat with TellyBuzz regarding his upcoming judging stint on Jhalak Dikhla Jaa. Read on to find out more...

The upcoming season of Jhalak airing from July 11th has gone for a makeover on the judges panel as Ganesh Hegde will be filing in the space of Remo Dsouza. Telly Buzz catches up with this ace choreographer cum singer about his excitement for the upcoming season of this reality show!

What convinced you to do Jhalak?
Raj Nayak, the CEO of Colors, convinced me to take up the show. I have never been too keen on taking up reality shows because I always felt that judges have nothing to do except sit and give marks. Since I am a performer, it becomes difficult for me to just sit around. But Jhalak is a platform in which you can do what ever you want and one doesn't have to be a typical judge. You can come on the stage, dance, sing and that's the reason why I said yes to Jhalak.

Are there new changes brought in the new season of Jhalak Dikhala Jaa?
There aren't many changes except that the contestants are new and the judges panel has some new faces. The energy is definetely different and the show this season won't follow the traditional method of treating judges and contestants differently. We all are like one family and sometimes Shahid goes and sits with the contestants, I dance with them on the stage and so on.

As you have step into Remo's shoes, what will be your level of responsibilities?
No one can fill eachother's shoes because our shoes are very different. Remo and I have our own individual USPs. What he did in Jhalak was something different and what I will do, will be completely different. We can't do the same thing because everyone has different personalities. Similarly Shahid cannot fill in Madhuri's shoes because we all are different.

What will be your judging parameters?
I feel these are stars, not dancers and hence my first reply to them was don't try to become dancers, try to be the stars you already are. Because I am looking for a star becoming an excellent dancer but that cannot happen without you being a star. You have to bring in your aura, your charisma more into your hands and feets. If you dance like your choreographer, then what will be the difference. You need to look like a star unlike your Choreographer and that's the whole concept of the show dancing with the stars.

All the Ganesh Hegde!

I will miss Madhuri Dixit and her Pallu on Jhalak: Manish Paul

Dashing actor cum host Manish Paul is yet again ready to showcase his talent with the upcoming season of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 8.

With the new season of dancing reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 8 is ready to hit the small screens, we got a chance and interviewed the much associated actor cum host Manish Paulabout this new season, reloaded judges and much more...

Manish has been the life of this show, so let's have a look on what he has to say about this upcoming season...

Here is what he says:

You are the only host this time on Jhalak, do you feel burdened?

Of course there will be a lot of burden on me as this is a very big show with so many contestants. But with the reloaded judges I believe my load will be shared as they are so popular and talented and especially with Shahid Kapoor around there is young energy flowing on the stage. So I will be the same as always and will keep doing masti.

Since, Madhuri Dixit is not a part of the show this time, what are you going to miss the most about her?

She is my Pallu prem. I will really miss her and her Pallu on Jhalak. This season will truly be incomplete without the Bollywood diva. I adore her and love her as she has that enchanting aura.

Well your flirting tendency is quite notable on the show, so with the new name on the judging panel i.e. Lauren, can the viewers expect to see you flirting with her this time?

Totally, I consider flirting as my birth right. But yes only if it is taken positively in fact the girls don't mind me flirting with them so why should I give it a thought. And with Lauren definitely I keep teasing her and in fact off lately she has learned very good Hindi so I keep troubling her by giving new words and asking her to guess those words.

Okay, so with the new bunch of contestants, how is your bonding going on?

It is going great. All of them have become so good friends be it Ashish Chowdhry, Kavita Kaushik, Vivian Dsena or others. I can't name a single person with whom I didn't have a conversation. I keep having a lot of fun with them and the most important thing is all are so sporty that I don't have to think twice before talking to them. I know that they are celebrities so accordingly we behave, so at end I would sum up by saying that I share a healthy bond and it's fun being with them.

With this new season of Jhalak, how your relationship with Karan Johar will be seen?

This time our relationship will be a reloaded one. The viewers have already liked our nok-jhok a lot so this time they will get to see more of entertaining portion compared to the previous one.

What would you say to your loyal fans of Jhalak, those who root for you every season?

All my fans have given me so much of love via Jhalak. I am associated with Jhalak since season 5. This is the fourth season I am hosting and all these could happen only because of these lovable fans that call me for every season. I would request them to keep showering their love so that I can keep entertaining them every time possible.

It's sheer a wait and watch game as to how Manish will entertain the viewers of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa this time!

I don't have any competitor on Jhalak because I am the worst dancer: Ashish Chowdhry

TellyBuzz in conversation with Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 8 contestant Ashish Chowdhry...

Popular hunk Ashish Chowdhry, who recently took the trophy of Khatron Ke Khiladi: Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns home by overcoming all the fears coming to his way, is now all set to overcome one more fear; but this time on the stage of Jhalak.

Yes, Ashish admits that he is not at all good at dancing and he used to get scared whenever he was asked to dance. This time Ashish would be seen dancing on the stage of Colors' popular celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa to overcome his fear of dance. In a conversation with TellyBuzz, Ashish shares more about his participation on Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 8...

Ashish shares, "I have always tried to be perfect with whatever I do but at the same time, I also realize that I am not a good dancer. Therefore, I will have to work harder here. I will work hard but it will require some time. I have done Khatron Ke Khiladi but dancing is like danger to me (chuckles). I always used to run away from the parties as soon as everybody used to call me for dancing. I feel that we should overcome all our fears and this would be a good platform for me to learn something and to make some friends as well. I am happy to be here. Earlier I used to get nervous but now I am enjoying it a lot."

"Surprisingly, I didn't get any injuries while doing Khatron Ke Khiladi but I fall down while doing my rehearsals for Jhalak because I skipped one move. It's difficult for me and I had said sorry to my choreographer for the same because I knew that it's going to be tough for her to teach me," added Ashish.

When we asked Ashish as who according to him is going to be the toughest competitor for him, he quipped, "I don't have any competitor here because I am the worst dancer on Jhalak. Earlier, I had thought that Vivian (Vivian Dsena) must not be a good dancer but I have seen him dancing. He is the Chupa Rustam. He is quite confident and a dear friend so I am quite happy for him but the title of the worst dancer goes to me only."

Good luck Ashish!

The word Dance itself brings out a lot of energy within me: Radhika Madan

TellyBuzz in conversation with popular actress Radhika Madan on her stint with Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 8...

Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi fame Radhika Madan, after winning audience's heart as Ishani, is now all set to pursue her dream of dancing on the stage of Colors' popular celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 8.

TellyBuzz quizzes Radhika to know more about her passion for dance, juggling between MSTH and Jhalak and much more...

Radhika shares, "Though I always wanted to train myself professionally, Meri Aashiqui shooting schedule wasn't giving me enough time. However, this time it has happened. Doing Jhalak is like a dream come true for me. I am working with an amazing choreographer and I am sure that he will bring out the best in me. I know that my dreams are going to be fulfilled here."

When we asked Radhika as how she is going to handle shooting and rehearsals, she said, "It's going to be very tough for me because our shoots are quite hectic. There are some scenes, especially emotional scenes that drain us from inside. Our energy level goes down after performing such kind of scenes but the word 'Dance' itself brings out a lot of energy within me. I always start rehearsing on my sets whenever I get some time in between the shots. It's fun and I am enjoying it a lot. I carry a pillow along with me. My set is far away from Jhalak house so I take a nap in my car while my driver drives. This is how I am managing things. I am working hard and I am hoping to get good results."

Recalling the day when Radhika came to the sets of Jhalak as a newbie to promote her show, she shared, "It feels amazing when I recall that day. I feel blessed that I got a chance to promote my show on the stage of Jhalak. Its funny that I was like lost and bit nervous then and now I roam all around freely as if its my home (smiles)."

When we asked Radhika that is there any form of dance that she would like to learn on Jhalak, she added, "I would love to do hip hop on the stage of Jhalak because it's the forte of my choreographer and being a tomboyish, I would like to do it."

We wish Radhika all the best!
