Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6' was the turning point in my career.
My dance was really appreciated in 'Bigg Boss' and Colors TV has approached me for their dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.' I hope to take part in 'Jhalak.'
My decision to participate in 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' was purely for my daughter. I wanted her to be proud of me, and I know I have achieved it.
People in Bengal know me because of my stint in 'Bigg Boss,' 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' and the Bollywood flicks.
Everybody has seen me as I am in 'Bigg Boss' and 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.'
Whatever work I have done in a very short span of time, like 'Balika Vadhu,' 'Kitchen Champion 4,' 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa,' and 'Bigg Boss 7,' has been great for me.
I hosted a season of 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.' I was a part of 'Khatron Ke Khiladi.' Also, being in this business, I know what reality TV is about. Please remember it's about entertainment at the end of the day.
People expect comedy from me but I am not just a stand-up comedian anymore. I act on stage, host 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' and also conduct interviews on my show. I have grown as a person and an artiste.
'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' has helped me shed my inhibitions. Dancing in front of an audience was not easy for me. But I managed it and got progressively comfortable with the audience as the weeks progressed.
I look forward to 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' every year because the format of the show is really nice - celebrities coming in and competing with each other. The main reason I do it is Madhuri Dixit. I am a big fan, and I sit next to her, so it's like a dream.
Getting the blood moving through your body does do wonders for your complexion.
If you want to make YouTube your career, you have to accept that it is also a business. I know everyone's like, 'It's my passion, it's my hobby.' And that's fine; I support that. But if you want to make it your career, it does have a business side.
I think it's really important to remember that it's a long life, and it's a long career. In a perfect world, your career will be long. It does not begin and end with any one job. The point is to continue to have longevity in your career.
This entire journey from 'Balika' to 'Jhalak' to 'Humpty' has been a dream.
Pretty much my whole career, I have been aggressive. I have always been a guy that goes at pins. That's kind of the way I've been all my career, and I don't know, really, if I can change.
I think exercising and eating fairly clean does wonders for your skin.
