RJ-actor Mantra says Mukti Mohan is too good a dancer to be on dance reality show " Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa".

"Mukti is a part of the wild card entries, she should not even be there. I have seen her dance and I know what a brilliant dancer she is. She being in the competition is unfair as she is abrilliant dancer," Mantra told IANS.

Rohit Roy, Sana Sayed, Vatsal Seth, Karan Patel and Rochelle Maria are also part of wild card entries and will have to dance their way into the show next week.

Mantra said dancing doesn't come naturally to him and reality TV dance style is different from what he does.

"The kind of dance I have been seeing in reality TV is more of acrobatics and dance. I have been doing the kind of dance where you just let yourself go, and there is no coordination or anything. So this is a good change for me," he said.

The show is being judged by filmmaker Karan Johar, actress Madhuri Dixit and choreographer-director Remo D'Souza and out of three Mantra is scared of Karan the most.

"I know Remo is a choreographer and a dance teacher, but he would know that I am not someone who has dancing knowledge. It is Karan Johar who looks through you when you are on the stage as if he is trying to read your thoughts," he said.

After working as a radio jockey, Mantra worked in television comedy show and also did films like"Tum Mile" and "London, Paris, New York" among others.

"I don't differentiate between different forms of art. I have been on radio, TV, and films. I have done everything possible under the sun, which a performer needs to do," he said.

Yes she is quite a good dancer but again 50 % of the marks depends on the votes so both dancing skills and the popularity decides who stays 🤔

I think Lauren, Mukti and the kids should not be in JDJ. However, Mukti being a part of wildcard where they compete for entrance is obviously pinching Mantra somewhere as it reduces his chances of being there. The other initial contestants never competed to become a part of the show.
