He is a popular singer and has large fan following in Punjab, but when it comes to dance Mika has two left feet and a very stiff body. Yet, he is one contestant on Jhalak who devotes the least amount of time for dance practice. His choreographer and partner Tanushree finds it hard to understand why Mika is not giving enough time for rehearsals. But what the judges find equally hard to understand is how Mika survives elimination. The Indi-pop singer admits that he is not a good dancer and wants judges to be a bit lenient with him. But he is confidence personified when it comes to his survival on the show. "I know my votes will come from my fans in Punjab. Don't be surprised if I go to the finals," he says cockily. Indeed his fans are voting for him. But since the judges' marks have 50 per cent weightage, sources in Synergy Adlab which produces the show say that unless Mika takes the contest seriously he will not go far on the show. |
