Audience, get ready for Jaspal Bhatti
The legendary comic Jaspal Bhatti and wife Savita may be the senior most couple on Nach Baliye this season but they're also the liveliest. We spoke to the Bhattis to find out how they were readying for the challenge.
Jaspal says: "I have never performed anywhere before this when I used to dance in college people used to wonder whether I was doing my dance steps or doing my usual comedy act. I thought if people can see Sunnyji and Dharamji dancing they will surely tolerate me too on this show. My condition is surely going to be Pappu can't dance sala: my pet name is Pappu."
"Jokes apart, Savita is very fond of dancing and she has been doing shows with me so I thought why not take part for her sake?" said gallant Jaspal, "So I took up this show as a challenge. My daughter Radhiya also influenced me, asking how could I not do such a nice show."
"Therefore I have decided that I will learn dancing, even though I am 50 years old," Jaspal said.
"I thought that I would be very difficult for me, but slowly I am getting the hang of it. People think that we are old artists and we have done films also so we must be good at dancing but that's not true."
Of course, when the Bhattis performed for the promotional shoot they were cheered loudest.
"It is always very encouraging when you get a 'once more!' for your performance - and not for your steps," Jaspal said, adding in explanation, and only half in jest: "Normally people tell me 'once more!' because I haven't done it right."
Savita adds: "All of our competitors are very young and nowadays all actors know dancing so for us we are competitors for each other. We really must depend on hard work; that is all. We took this decision through our mutual understanding: after so many years of marriage, you do not have to ask each other."
All couples went for a tarot reading before the show, did the Bhattis go as well? Savita says: "We are not spiritual as such but what Jaspal asked the tarot reader if, after our participation, whether Nach Baliye would have a fifth season or not!" 🤣
Every Nach Baliye season has had a senior couple: Sachin and Surpiya Pilgaonkar in the first, Rasik and Ketki Dave in the second and Shakti and Shivangi Kapoor in the third. But none so far promises as much entertainment - and not just in the dancing - as the Bhattis.
