What happens when three handsome boys decide to beat girls at their own game? The upcoming episode of Zara Nachke Dikha has the answer as Gaurav Chopra, Chaitanya Choudhary and Bakhtyaar Irani turn up in their feminine best! After the performance, judge Chunky Pandey went to the extent of saying, "I want to pack Gaurav Chopra and take him home; he is looking so pretty". We caught up with a rather embarrassed Chaitanya to find out what the whole deal was.

So, how was it being a girl?
Not easy at all considering that we had to slip into a swim suit. I was totally not for it but Bakhtiyar convinced me and Gaurav. We agreed only because Bakhtiyar had come up with some brilliant ideas in the past. It took us 45 minutes to slip into the costume. It was a first for me and Gaurav but it wasn't so for Bakhtiyar. It was really embarrassing dancing like a girl. We vanished immediately after our performance.

Any catcalls?
It got very embarrassing with the comments that were made. I would not mention all of them but one of them was somebody saying that I don't look all that bad as a girl. I hate it. I felt so awkward.

Was it a perfect 10 for the guys?
We just performed our best and tried to stave off the pressure. We were prepared to be uncomfortable and embarrassed. We tried to be as believable as possible but the stress showed up in our dance it seems. We were told by the judges that we could have been a bit more feminine.

Will he do it again?
An actor needs to be open for different roles and if I get to do something like this in the future, professionally I may do it.
