Gauhar Khan the latest evicted from Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 3 talks about her problems with earlier choreographer Hanif Hilal and what went wrong in the Rumba round.

What went wrong?
Nothing really. 2/3 judges felt that Parul’s choreography was stronger then our. I hold no grudges for; it’s their judgment call.  But some people did comment that our expressions and step’s in the Rumba were a cut above Parul.

Was your demanding to replace Hanif was right given that you got eliminated anyways?
No it was not my new choreographer Himanshu’s fault, for he performed par excellence despite 6 stitches. He did go wrong with the elastic bands, but covered it up perfectly. I am proud of him and love him for his effort.

The AV before your Rumba performance showed you dictating terms to Himanshu as well?
No, I as an artist reserve the right to give my feedback about what I feel and it’s up to the choreographer to accept it or not. You also must realize that a certain amount of editing does go about to create a story. And it’s not only me other contestant’s also give their inputs. I prefer to voice my concerns there and then, rather then getting blamed later for a poor performance. I still  stand by my conviction that Hanif was lacking somewhere.

Your take on the judges…
I love them. We all have grown up watching Sarojji teach Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi dance. Juhiji has always stood up for me when nobody was there. Her honesty is her biggest plus point. As for Vaibhavi, she makes me go mad. She notices small small things in my performance. I want to dance like her.

Do you think that TV star’s have a better chance to survive when it comes to audience voting?
They surely have an extra edge as people just don’t vote for dance performance but also for the celebrity. But all that is okay.
