Jhalak hosts root for Mona
By: Tushar Joshi
October 26, 2006

Parmeet Sethi and Archana Puran Singh

Archana Puran Singh has become an expert host, and has mastered the art of being the perfect emcee. However, her husband and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa co-host Parmeet Sethi had to deal with an entirely new concept.

"I am thrilled that Parmeet has made it through as a host with flying colours. I was nervous for him initially, but this time around he is in the driver's seat while I am the passenger!" she says.

Alvida time

After having been a part of the show for so many weeks, Archana now finds it hard to say goodbye. "I don't know what is going to happen to me after the results on Friday. It has been an overwhelmingly emotional journey right from the start. I can proudly say that working on this show has been the best experience of my professional career," she says.

Mona Singh

The Jhalak cast and crew have become like an extended family for Archana. "I usually keep my kids away from the sets, but the Jhalak set is so child-friendly that they love hanging out over there with us. Our vanity van is like a mini apartment and Parmeet and I spend a lot of time with the kids in there."

Among the contestants, Archana does have her favourites.

"I was rooting for Rati (Agnihotri) to make it through, as I know her personally. Besides her, I have newfound respect for Ajay Jadeja. He's a true sportsman and the way in which he exited the show was commendable. Apart from him, I also loved Mahesh's choreographer Soniya Jaffer. Even Sanjeev Kapoor has been a friend for a really long time."

Mona par fida

Between Mona and Shveta, Archana says, "I'm with Mona. But I want Longi (Shveta's choreographer) to win too as I have known him for the last 25 years. He used to train me during Jalwa. He's a hardworking man and deserves every bit of of the success he has got."

As for Mona, she says, "I have known Mona for the last couple of years. Apart from being extremely popular with the audience, she is also a very sincere girl. She has surprised everyone by making it to the finals of the show."

Parmeet too admits that his vote is divided between Mona and Longi. "I would love to see Mona take home the trophy, but I am also cheering for Longi. We go back a long way," he says.

On the work front, the actor is waiting for interesting roles to come his way. "I don't know what I will do after DON. I don't want to get stuck in a show that doesn't interest me. Jhalak has given me tremendous scope and confidence to do different things, and I hope to carry that experience forward

sorry if posted earlier!!!!!😳

and again the only reason Parmeet and Archana want to vote for Mona or wanted Rati or Longi to win was because they "know" them!!

Did you count the number of times they mention "Know" word!!!

The "Know" factor!!1 Poor shveta, If only she knew about this, she would have started being friendly to them from the day she was born!!! 😉

let me start that too...I wish I woudl know all the competitions that I would participate in the future and the judges in these competitions...I woudl start by "knowing" them first...or making them "know" me.......

why didnt JDJ mention this criteria before...the criteria of "knowing"

All you guys against hosts voting for the contestants they know........Can you tell me wont you guys vote for the person you know. I would never vote for the other person however good she dances. And Mona's popularity is not cofined only because of Jassi.

All the other contestants and hosts have said that they will vote for MONA. Of course only mahesh said he will vote for both. He is just being sweet to both of them. I have not read any article where people have said they will vote for Shveta. A reality show is like that. The Dances get judges points and the rest is on the audience. The audience vote for people whom they connect with.

There is no point in telling the janta to vote for the best dancer. they know who the best dancer is but will vote for the person they like and want to see them win.

Arpita was better than Ruprekha and qazi......karunya was better than sandeep.....the list goes on......

exactly,people will vote for whom they like, if they really wanted only talent to win, they would have got judges to make the final decision,
and if all the contestants like mona and want to vote for her, what is the problem ,
and if no one ,no person who has known mona has a negative remark against her,and whom are we to believe contestants who have known them closely and interacted with them on a personal level or members here who want to defend shweta

I know,why vote for someone truly deserving...WHy vote for someone who is really talented..vote for the ones whom one knows,thus be biased....

WHy even appreciate the efforts of those who work hard,whyvote for the best dancer,when we "LIKE" the other one better.....

WHy should they even dance..they can just come,stand,flash their million dollar smile,shriek,yell,snort,give us a wondeful trailor of their "warmth and personality",show us all how what big mahaatmas they are....WHy should they dance,if dance isnt being appreciated or noticed

What happens in reality shows is wrong,the best never wins,and the audience are biased...and then they justify it....CHO CHWEETTTT 🤢 🤢
