I'll never leave 'Kkasam Se' and Balaji

By Subhash K. Jha

The grand finale of Sony TV's dance show "Jhalak Dikhla Jaa" will be held Saturday and all the three finalists - Prachi Desai, Jay Bhanushali and Sandhya Mridul are equally confident of winning the title.

Prachi Desai: I've been working so hard on my dancing in "Jhalak Dikhla Jaa" that my blood pressure has become low and I've hurt my foot. I'm shooting non-stop. Earlier I only danced to have fun, at parties and so on. But this is different.

What do I have to say to my fellow-finalists? I'd be happy for them if they win. At the end of the day winning or losing isn't a matter of life and death. But obviously all three of us want to win.

When I returned through the wild card I got to know some people didn't like my re-entry. Strange, they seemed so supportive when I was eliminated! But I'm not bothered. I know I'm back because of the love of my audience.

The other contestants don't bother me. I confess I feel the other contestants don't want me to win. I know last year the same had happened when everyone thought Shveta Salve should have won.

They feel if I win the situation would be just like last year. So they want Sandhya Mridul to win.

According to them, Sandhya is a better dancer. But I've worked really hard. They say I'll win because I'm popular. What's wrong with being popular?

"Jhalak..." has taught me so much at such a young age. The lessons that I've learnt will help me all my life. This show and my serial "Kkasam Se" have helped me get my first film "Rock On" with Farhan Akhtar. But I'll never leave "Kkasam Se" and Balaji. After "Jhalak..." is over I'll look at my schedules.
