Winning choreographers Back on JDJ

Chaya Unnikrishnan

This season of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (JDJ) will see the return of two choreographers with a winning streak — Sonia Jaffer, winner of Season 3 and Marischa Fernandes winner of Season 4. Sonia was paired with Baichung Bhutia and will now be partnering Siddharth Shukla. Marischa who was seen last with Meiyang Chang has singer Shaan as her partner. Says Sonia, "I took a break for two seasons only to learn more and come back to win. I trained myself for eight hours every day and worked on my body to remain in shape and polish my dancing skills as well." Marischa on the other hand was busy holding dance workshops in various cities. "I also familiarised myself with a lot of lyrical hip-hop that the new generation loves watching. Luckily I have been teamed up with singers who have a knowledge of notes which helps them in their performance," says Marischa. A source adds that she has recommended daily workout routines and diet for Shaan, which he is following. cu
