Aarti Chhabria’s ‘Jhalak...’ innings ends

After featuring in the bottom three contestants in “Jhalak Dikkhla Jaa 6” for three consecutive weeks, Bollywood actress Aarti Chhabria’s stint on the dance reality show finally came to an end on Saturday. She lost the face-off round to actor Karanvir Bohra.

Chhabria, who performed various dance forms during on the show and was appreciated for her grace and expressions, said that perhaps her pain due to an injury overshadowed her passion for dancing in the last few weeks.

The episode also featured ace actor-choreographer-filmmaker Prabhudheva, with Girish Kumar, the lead actor of his next directorial “Ramaiya Vastavaiya’. Prabhudheva even showcased some of his dance moves, and matched steps with Madhuri Dixit on their famous song “Kay Sera Sera”.

The sixth edition of “Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa” went on air June 1 and so far, actor-comedian Suresh Menon, former Indian cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth and actresses Meghna Malik, Ekta Kaul and Shweta Tiwari, have been voted out.

Last weekend, four new celebrities — Mukti Mohan, Sana Saeed, RJ Mantra and actor Karan Patel — joined the dance reality show as the wild card entries. Others vying for the winner’s title are Karanvir, Drashti Dhami, Siddharth Shukla, Shaan, actress-dancer Lauren Gottlieb, and “India’s Got Talent” winners Sonali and Sumant.

“Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6” is being judged by dancing diva Dixit, director-producer Karan Johar and choreographer-director Remo D’Souza.

The show airs on Colors on Saturday and Sunday at 9pm.
