Karan Johar

Karan Johar - The brain behind Dharma Production is a dreamer whose reams of fantasy have been translated into mindboggling reality.

When asked how much he misses Madhuri, he averred, “We miss Madhuri Dixit very much. I miss Madhuri’s energy, smile, drawings and her dry fruit box that Manish Paul and I used to steal.”

Talking about the new addition to the Judging panel - Jacqueline Fernandez, he said, “Jacqueline is great and totally a new energy on the set. She dances on her seat. She is like a sunshine and she is absolutely hot. Jacqueline is the best addition to Jhalak.”

When asked who he idolizes in real life, he observed, “I don’t idolize anyone in life. I loved and idolized my father and that's where it starts and ends.”

Farah has also joined the team so when asked about his chemistry with her, Karan shared, “I am so excited that Farah is part of Jhalak 9. I always wished to do a show with her. Whatever we do, we not only have a great time, but also enjoy to the core.”

He also talked about the talent of the TV stars, "I think it’s wonderful as they work for 10-12 hours in a day and then they come here and perform. I think there is a lot of good talent on television. Whenever I watch TV shows with my mom I see some amazingly talented actors. I think there needs to be many more platforms. They have India’s love and a huge fan following. My mother is so excited that Shakti Arora is there in the show and the Swaragini girl, Helly Shah. It would be unfair to take one name. I think all the contestants are amazing. This is one of the best lot of contestants that Jhalak has ever had,” answered the filmmaker.

Do you feel it is unfair to give the voting chance to studio audience? “When audiences vote, they get personal. And if they have any favourite soap star then that clouds their choices. When you give the studio audience the power of voting then the intact is totally different. This will be the fairest season of Jhalak.”

What is your take on Salman Y Khan being a participant? “I was myself surprised to know that Salman Y Khan is part of Jhalak. But what happened is actually worked in a great way. Because of Salman, every contestant is motivated. We are judging Salman very strictly. I think there is more pressure on Salman. He needs to change his game to match everybody else's progression,” singed off Karan.
