Actor Sagar Parekh who has become a household name for the portrayal of Samar in the show 'Anupamaa', has opened up on participating in the celebrity dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa', a🐷nd said that it will push him out of his comfor🌺t zone.
Sagar will be eꦜntering the show as a wildcard contender. The show currently has participants like Tanishaa Mukerji, Karuna Pandey, Sreerama Chandra, Shoaib Ibrahim, S🍨hiv Thakare, Manisha Rani, Sangeeta Phogat and others.
Sharing more light about his participation in the show, Sagar said꧑: "I think the only reason I'm taking up Jhalak is that it's going to push me out of my comfဣort zone, like in an extreme way where I'll be pushing my limits. I think it will be fun. I want to experience that and, more importantly, I am taking it as a challenge."
He said that entering as a wildcard contender is definitely not an advantage as he is not getting any safety weeks and the judgment i✤s going to start immediately.
"Additionally, there are contestants who are like professional dancers and I am a non-dancer. This is the first time I'm dancing professionally and have never taken one single class in dancing. So it's going to be really to💟ugh and challenging for me to match up to those wild card contestants who are prof🅰essionals as dancers," shared Sagar.
Sag🅺ar is very much aware of the other talented contestants in the show, but for him competing is not the main factor.
"I think it's not important that I'm competing with some talented conte🧔stants, what's important to me is the journey of getting better. I'm challenging myself and the competition is with me. It's very cliche, I know, but, yea��h, this is how it is because the judges are going to judge the same way.
"They are not expecting anything extra from me, but they want to see how much I'm ꦚcapable of and how much I can push. So that's the journey I'm going to follow. I believe Jhalak is a big platform for non-dancers as well and at the end, I will learn a new skill out of it," he said.
Talking more about the technique of dances, Sagar shar♏ed that he has no experience in dancing.
"Whatever I have done is like 10 seconds of 💫dance for reels on social media. That is also very casual dancing compared to competitive TV reality shows. Yes, I have the rhythm, but I have no experience regarding what dancing actually is. And now 🍬that I've come in contact with that, I know that it's definitely not an easy job," he added.
In the show, Sagar’s cho🍃reographer will be Shivani Patel.
The show airs on Sony.
