Jay Ho!
Posted on Feb 25, 2010 On screen he may be the butt of everyone's jokes but off screen he is everyone's favorite. When Jay "kachua" Bhanushali is around there is never a dull moment. He manages to pep up spirits and leave everyone in splits with his smart alecs.
This week Mithun da went a step ahead and dedicated a dance form to him. Inspired from beeboying, Mithun da called on Jay to do some J boying! After a little coaxing Jay obliged and here he was on stage trying one stunt after another leaving everyone in splits.
Already famous for his kachua dance from Lux Dance India Dance season 1, Jay and his primitive dancing skills are well-known.
But little do people know that Mithun da's star Jay Bhanushali is actually a considerably good dancer in real life. He is a pro at Bollywood. Remember him at the season one finale of Dance India Dance. He totally rocked the stage with his performance on the medley of Suno Na Suno Na and Pretty Woman. In another dance reality show, Jay came clad as a Superman and danced to Meri Pant Bhi Sexy, the same number on which Jack performed this week.
Then why does Jay, who is in real life is a great dancer (and the DID stage has witnessed that), behave like a dancing buffoon on stage? Well of course, because there's one more thing that Jay is better at than dancing, and that is comedy. Jay's comic timing is superb. His witty remarks and comic gestures can make even the grumpiest fall down laughing.
Comedy for Jay is not wisecracks on others but making himself a part of a comic situation and cracking jokes on himself. Often comedians make fun of others and mimic to make others laugh. But Jay is different. He allows people to laugh at him keeping them entertained. No wonder then he is Mithunda's "real star", for Dada is genuinely a good judge of people.
