Gurmeet Choudhary is certainly the heartthrob of many girls, and the actor is frank enough to say that his huge fan base is one of the reasons why he accepted to participate in Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa season 5 on Colors. Gurmeet tells Tellychakkar.com, “My fans have always seen me as an actor, but now it is time for them to see their real ‘hero’ whom they very much adore and love. For my fans, I have always been a hero, and I am glad I got this opportunity of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa through which I will give to them something new every week.” About the tough task of juggling between his show on Zee TV, Punar Vivah and Jhalak, Gurmeet tells us, “It is quite taxing. After my day’s shoot for Punar Vivah, I manage to rehearse for at least four hours. I am not a trained dancer, so I put up long hours at rehearsals. Having said this, I am a perfectionist and since I am not trained, my choreographer can mould me in the way she wants.” Gurmeet adds on, “Debina always tells me that I can achieve anything and everything as an actor. Otherwise, I don’t do anything at home. But according to Debina, if I am put into a do-or-die situation, I will somehow manage to overcome it.” On his choreographer, Shampa he avers, “Shampa is my Guru. I am really lucky to have got her as my choreographer. She is the best at all international forms of dance; I have a lot to learn from her.” Lastly, ask him about his ex co-actor Drashti Dhami’s new show Madhubala-Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, he says, “Drashti is a good actress, and I am sure she will do a swell job in her new show”. And on her co star Vivian Dsena he avers, “I have met Vivian, and he is a very nice person. I wish Drashti all the very best for Madhubala.” Gurmeet, we wish you all the very best for your stint in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
