Siddharth Shukla's Jhalak Classic Moments:
This is the first time I'm posting a written piece in this forum...I hope it's ok!
A few weeks ago I was bored so I decided to take a trip down memory lane...to be specific, Siddharth Shukla's Jhalak journey...but not the performances...I decided to watch the "extra Sid Jhalaks"...or as Manish put it "Cadbury Bournvita presents Siddharth -Jhalak-Dikhhla-Jaa" moments...and oh boy what a treat it was! Yes I have watched them all before but still totally entertaining...just Siddharth being Siddharth ...and you all know more than his characters I love Siddharth Shukla for who HE is...
So I decided to note down a few #ClassicMoments from these segments...come on, let's take a trip down memory lane... #SKDReminiscing #JhalakRewind #SiddharthShuklaRox J
1. Choco-chor Siddharth ...yaar woh khud ek chocolate boy' hai na, so where was the need to steal Shonali's chocolate... Siddharth , dude just take a bite of yourself J (but we know it was all clever advertising Cadbury/Colors/Jhalak )
#ClassicMoment: Loved the way he covered his face with his hand and shook with laughter as Kapil scolded him... :-) #Naughtyboy
2. Siddharth and kids:
The segment where IGT kids 'teach' Siddharth a dance was so cute...remember how Shonali starts kicking her legs cos Sumant tells Siddharth to throw her up in the air...but he uses her as dumbbells instead...typical #Gymoholic
One thing that Manish said as they called him on stage 'Cadbury Bournvita presents Siddharth Jhalak Dikhhla jaa' was so apt...without Siddharth Shukla what was Jhalak...just any other TV show that's all... Jhalak ki shaan tha woh...he didn't win infact he didn't make it to semi-finals but still so extremely proud of him... J
#ClassicMoment: he says something to Shonali, she responds...loved the way he shut his eyes tight when he laughed...must have been hilarious I wonder what she said :-)
3. Siddharth 's 'Dance ka Muqabala' with Ranveer Singh and the #ChestBump...ufff! Itna strong hai woh... :p
Did anyone else notice KJo's dropped jaw as he watched their pelvic gyration? #Awkward I'm just saying: /
#ClassicMoment: Siddharth has his own mike in hand but speaks in Kapils :p because he was nervous...
4. Siddharth and Mommyji:
This entire segment for me was classic. Seeing Siddharth with his Mom was a delight. A treat for the heart especially for someone like me, who adores this man whole-heartedly...
The way he walked up to her and escorted her on stage...their brief eye-lock and matching smiles at the bottom of the stairs...and how he looked like a BIG LITTLE-BOY in that attire, holding Mommy's hand and walking to centre stage and the way she put her arm around him as they faced Kapil...#Heartwhelming. Like mother like son, she was just as nervous as him but carried herself gracefully...
#ClassicMoment: sharmila Siddharth "tayar hoon" MBBS karne ke liye...yaar I've heard of ladkiyaan keeping vrat for 16 Mondays to attain a good husband but ladka doing MBBS so that Mom has a good bahu...pehli baar suna tha. He's such a good son na? J
5. Sid ka Swayamvar:
How can we forget that :/ When the ladies arrive chanting his name and the camera crosses to Siddharth in hawa mahal, the look on his face #Priceless it was like "Hai bhagwan ab kya...!!!"
As #KingOfExpressions he gave us classic awkward puzzled expressions as each "girl"(one of them was old enough to be his mother) proposed to him and finally added " yaar apni mommy se baat karni hogi" a classic "It's not you, it's me" kind of response...LOL
#ClassicMoment: when they mob him and the dulhan' tries to put the varmala on him. That look on his face as his eyes widen and he steps back to duck :p (yaar you're 32, how long are u going run from the varmala...sooner or later a girl's gonna to come along and steal your restless heart then you'll be the one running after her with a varmala :p)
6. Siddharth , SRK and Sana:
When SRK tutors Siddharth on how to woo a girl and he chooses to demonstrate what he's learnt by using Sana :( ok let's not go there... but I loved when SRK walked on stage during the dance to check what's going on...I think a movie with SRK and Siddharth will be great...they had awesome chemistry on Jhalak...(Now to get KJo to do something about it *thinking*)
#ClassicMoment: When Siddharth says he wants to make SRK his father-in-law :-) AND when Sana arrives and immediately reaches out for his hand :p and he was like "See I didn't have to do any woo-ing..." Yes dude, u're the man!!!! future Mrs Shukla is very lucky...
7. Kapil's dadiji flirts with Siddharth :
...who will ever forget that... "Sharaab jitni purani hojaye uksa nasha zyada ho jaata hai" and it seemed like our sharmila hero needed somewhere to hide. When dadiji rubs her hand over his face and cups his chin I think he wanted to run away or cry for mommy. The awkwardness on his face when dadiji wanted a hug, yet like a sweet little boy he hugs her (was reminded when old ladies at family functions, typically torture little kids and even though they don't want to hug the menthol-scented old lady they do it anyway cos mommy looks at them with wide-open threatening eyes :p)
#ClassicMoment: when dadiji seduces Remo and the camera crosses to hawa mahal, we see Siddharth having a hearty laugh at all this...never seen him laugh like that before
8. Siddharth 's Maduri-puja':
Was strangely reminded of myself here ...I wonder why :p
#ClassicMoment: Two such moments
1. When he asks Madhuriji to say "maar daala" and he covers his face with his hand, you can see his quirky smile underneath...
2. When the dupatta falls from the heavens and he does that dance of joy :p Oiy Shuklaji...u're a star baby! *mwah*
9. Pammiji hits on Siddharth
Dear Pammiji, yes we all know that the only eye-candy on Jhalak was Siddharth , but obviously he didn't know that himself...evident from the ghastly shocked expression when Pammi takes his name but before that when Pammi talks about her "khoobsurat dil" camera catches a jhalak of Siddharth in a very cute and indescribable expression...
ClassicMoment: when he recovers from the shock of hearing Pammi take his name, his macho chest flex and "salaam" was very cute almost seductive and so was that wink at the end confirming his "big bank balance" hmmm! :p
10. Prabhu Deva shakes a leg with Siddharth :
Siddharth was super cute in this segment. When Kapil asks him to give PD some tips I love the way he laughed at that and retorted "sorry main tips de do?" and as PD makes his way on stage Siddharth 's nervousness shows as he lightly scratches his neck in anticipation...probably doubting his abilities as usual but my Siddharth matched PD step for step...perfectly... and Manish's interpretation of the steps was hilarious :-)
#ClassicMoment: the moment I want to mention in this segment is after the scores when Manish tells the audience that if they don't vote for Siddharth then next week he'll be sitting in audience voting for the others...Siddharth decides to scratch his eye...or is that really what he was doing? LOL ended up looking like an inappropriate gesture.
11. Siddharth and Johnny-boy's #BicepContest... Ufff and one of my favorite segments...ok ok so I admit I was highly confused during this one...both have killer smiles and killer bods...and both blush easily...iiissshhh! And BIKES!!! Both have hot bikes!!! *Sue's lost in a dream* ahem! Ok back to reality...I suspect cheating cos Siddharth 's biceps seemed visibly larger than John's or maybe I'm just biased LOL (Sid ki Diwani hoon main...John ki kuch nahin)
#ClassicMoment: Blushing! I don't know who was blushing more throughout this segment John or Siddharth ...but both were equally cute. Siddharth 's blush when John wished that he become a big filmstar soon and John was adorable when the girls were calling him "HOTT" and when Manish asked him to remove his shirt, my smile kept widening hoping he'd take off the T-shirt ooohhh :p
Oh wait! This is about Siddharth na? on that note I'm so proud of Siddharth for not showing off his hot bod in Jhalak. Yes I know everyone hates me for saying this. I wanted him to progress on merit not $ex appeal and yes I know $ex sells but still...dude has integrity and I respect him for that. He doesn't have that egoistic attitude that if he takes off his shirt he can get ahead in the game...as per Karan Wahi's obscure advice :/
12. The Push-up contest:
Personally I wished it was a punching and kick-boxing contest cos that Patel guy made my skin crawl. Siddharth 's obviously annoyed' expression as KP tells him he's sorry for what he said about him cos now he realises how difficult it is to perform on stage...
#ClassicMoment: watching Siddharth do push-ups...haaiii! #delightful ;-)
13. And lastly...Siddharth 's revenge on Manish and Kapil...
I love the way he composes himself and takes the jokes these guys dish out with a cute #SidSmile... Love his sense of humor
#ClassicMoment: When he effortlessly picked up Manish and walked off stage with him like he was weightless #IronMan
14. An overall Sid-Jhalak #ClassicMoment: his 'dream-come-true' dance with Madhuriji! Haiii! He was such a sweetheart escorting her from her seat to the stage and back again. And the cute smile when he said "please' and she said "zaroor" and his famous "WOW!" followed by his shy toothy-smile...
That police uniform suited him so well, don't u agree? Loved that look on him...
Anyway, I hope you all loved the trip and I hope it brought back memories for you as it did for me...apologies for any mistakes as I said its the first time I'm posting here so hope you all like it
