I don’t think either I or Drashti (Dhami) has an edge in Jhalak: Siddharth Shukla

Handsome and beefy Siddharth Shukla, one of the contestants of Colors’ Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6 , is not a very good dancer. No, we are not passing a judgment. But the cute and talented actor himself admits the same when we asked him about the low marks he has been getting from the judges. “I think I deserved it. All said and done, I am very happy with my journey on this big ticket Colors’ dance reality show. I have learnt a lot,” he avers. This could be one of the reasons why he refused to speculate on whether he would be able reach the top 3 spot. “That is too farfetched; I only take each week at a time. I will cross the bridge when I come to it,” he observes. Among all his performances till date, Siddharth finds the act he did for his mother as the closest to his heart. After every outing on the dance floor, the Babul Ka Aangann Chootey Na actor dreads the comments of choreographer judge Remo D'Souza the most. “For he is technically sound and can easily spot out the mistakes which we try the most hard to hide,” Siddharth comments. The actor, however, does not really feel that having professional dancers like Lauren Gottlieb in the fray makes the going tough for amateur dancers like him. “It is not easy, but then I don’t really compete with anybody. I am just here to become a better dancer,” he quips. Here, Siddharth did admit that currently being a part of Balika Vadhu (Colors) must be helping him gain the audience popularity. “I am seen around daily compared to someone who is not. Having said that, I don’t think either I or Drashti Dhami has an edge for we don’t know what the vote count is,” he opines. He also accepts that it is quite tough to handle a daily show and a dance series at the same time, “But we work it out and let’s face it yaar, I knew what I was getting into, so it’s no great shakes,” Siddharth adds. Lastly, we quiz the actor about the constant digs that anchor Kapil Sharma takes at him. “It is all in good humour and sometimes I give it back in equal measure,” he concludes.
