Manine is my angel' says Ashita Dhawan

The dance reality show on Star One is yet to begin and already we hear a buzz of the winds of change to set in.

Manine De has been replaced by her girlfriend, Ashita Dhawan who plays Malti in Bidaai. So was it a 'number-tantrum' which forced Maninee out of the show or was it ego issues…the version that is floating around is ill health on Maninee side. She is suffering from a chronic back problem and donning her dancing shoes would aggravate her backache. We decided to chat up with her rescue angel, Ashita Dawan who confirmed the news.

"Yes I am replacing Manine De due to her terrible back problem. Infact she is very happy for me. But, she had no clue that I would be replacing her".

A friend in need is a friend indeed…

Manine De is my very good friend, guardian and angel; she is so wonderful. Bidaai happened because of Manine. When I was offered to play Malti, I was already doing Zaara and the dates clashed and I remember chatting with Manine about it. So she turned out to be a savior and called up the producer of Bidaai, and told him about me and I got it. Now I am getting to be a part of this reality show and in some way or the other she has again been a cause and I feel extremely glad about it.

Talk about all honey and sugar! We like our stars bitchy and catty. Sugary and honey does not bode well with us.

And as for 'Zaara Nachke Dikha', I was referred through a Balaji actor who is part of Nach Le Ve and knows my interest in dance. And before I knew it, I was offered to be a part of Zaara Nachke Dikha and I readily agreed.

Reality shows…

I always wanted to be a part of reality shows. It's big bucks and it is also a very good platform to showcase your potentials and get recognition. For those who are not so talented, reality shows are a very good experience to learn from.

I have a great passion for dance and I am excited about this one since it has been a long time. This will be my first performance on a reality show and I feel like the 'Queen of the world'
