JHALAK DIKHHLA JAA 5: Isha Sharvani lashes out!

The Kisna gal got defensive when questioned about her credentials to be on the show

We had asked you a question a couple of days ago: Is it fair to have Isha Sharvani on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5? The show is meant to pull actors, cricketers, musicians and anchors out of their comfort zone and make them dance. Isha has been dancing since she was a kid and has performed in 22 countries. Isn’t it unfair to the other contestants, we had asked. At the launch of JDJ 5 yesterday (June 7), we asked the same question to judge Remo D’Souza and to Isha herself. Read what they had to say?

Remo was his usual diplomatic self. “Yes, Isha has been dancing since she was a child, but her style of dancing is kalari or rope mallakhamb. Her body has been trained to do that. To break that down and make the body do Latin ballroom dances, well it will be as difficult for her as it is for Sanath Jayasuriya,” he said. We may not know the intricacies of dance as well as Remo but comparing Isha to Sanath is stretching it a lot, don’t you think?

Isha took a different route – she refused to answer our question. Not directly, of course. You wouldn’t want to risk that in front of several mediapersons. She went on the defensive. “Who told you that? Tell me that first. Who told you that?,” she half yelled. When asked what she would like to say to all those who call her participation unfair (including us), she turned away and let her choreographer jump in with a lot of nonsense. “Nobody learns how to dance from their mother’s womb. It’s all about hard work. You have to work hard blah blah blah…’ Honestly, we tuned out halfway through his speech. We wanted to know what Isha, who was calmly sipping tea and pointedly ignoring us had to say. We turned back to her and asked again what she has to say to her critics. Now that she had time to compose herself – thanks to her choreographer’s attempts at distraction – we expected a fantastic answer. Instead she put on a bored look and drawled, “Go watch the show.” That’s the best you could come up with Isha? Tsk tsk.

    I do agree with all the ideas you’ve offered for your post. They’re very convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for novices. Could you please lengthen them a little from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

    I was going through kaangroo kids picasa album and came to know about the activities . It was good to see them as normally we just hear it from teacher or from the kid’s mouth but never got an opportunity to see it. I feel proud that my son is part of this school and i have no hesitation to say that this school changed him alot. Still i feel that there is no interaction among the kids, as they behave like strangers. No greet, no play together. I am really worried about my child as I feel he is quite introvert being alone child. From the school I had one feeling that his behaviour and nature will chnage littlebit but still not satisfied. He loves to play alone, but I just love to see him being a part of mob. Let’s hope for the best. I saw few photograps also, but he was not looking like part of those photos. I wish for the best for my child and others too.

    Your point might have been taken into consideration if ur article wasn’t so rude about the hard working professionals like remo and salman. Salman is my fav of all the contestants he’s done so well on the show, so what If his partner knows how to shake her booty that doesn’t mean she comes up with her moves and the performance most credit gos to salman coz he’s brilliant and isha because she works hard. You are just a rude, frustrated writer who really shouldn’t even have the right to post withstand that kind of attitude

    i was googling for madhuri articles and ran into this one. what a load of nonsense this article turned out to be
    is this the new media trend to be as defamatory as possible to get viewers? seriously its utterly disappointing to see you guys stooping to that level
    anyway, now atleast i know where not to look for news/articles

    what a trashy article. it makes this website look even trashier if such biased and pathetic writers work for it…. the only thing “unfiar” here is the attack on the actress…really, such junky writers shd go back to media school, and learn a thing or two abt being better writers

    i thnk rather this article is a nonsence…..jhalak dikhlaja is about about making celebrities participate in a formal dancing competition …..be it a trained one or an untrained one…..the logic is only of makin celebs participate…..and if thets so then shweta salwe in jhalak 1 was also a trained dancer….wasn’t that unfair
