TellyChakkar got in touch with the actor and asked him who is his favorite judge and talked about his project with Manisha Rani. 

How has your journey been on the show? 

I am having fun and meeting many new people and have learned so many things good and bad. I am learning a lot and will use it in the next project. 

Who was your biggest competitor? 

Everyone knows dance here, look at Adrija no one can beat her and I think I am my competition, every day I learn new things and new dance forms and entertain the audience and the judges. 

Who is your favorite judge on the show?

If I go the diplomatic way I would say all the judges, Malaika is so beautiful, and Arshad sir has his own vibe. Farah mam is like family even if she wasn't my sister she would be my favorite because she only speaks the truth which isn't shown; she talks so casually. Her personality is only like this: she is very upfront and she will tell things very clearly. She doesn't care if you feel good or bad. At times she even abuses the writer or the cameraman and that's fun to watch and sometimes it feels like what we wanted to say she is saying.

We have heard that Manisha and you are coming together in a project on Sony. Can you throw some light on it? 

I have no idea, I haven't been offered anything as yet and I would love to work with her as she is very sweet and entertaining but until now  I haven't signed the project. 

Where do you see yourself in four to five years from now? 

An actor in Hindi movies staying in a sea-facing bungalow and is a superstar and having two-three cars and people around him roaming with big personalities and is happy and staying with his mom and dad in the same house and his movies keep releasing. 

Well, there is no doubt that Shiv is a very strong contestant and the audience feels that he could win the show.
