“Mahesh Manjrekar will be doing an item song in my next,” proclaimed Farah Khan, the queen of choreography and a hot shot director while judging the final round of hugely popular dance show ‘Jhalak Dikhlaja’ on Sony TV yesterday. Mahesh Manjrekar surprised all by making it to the top three with his innovative dance performance involving a story telling format in a unique manner. He lost out to the ultimate finalists TV stars Mona Singh (Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin fame) and Shweta Salve (An actress who had been doing bit roles and became a huge hit with the masses after Jhalak).

After a stunning two hour show where all the celebrities performers Ajay Jadeja, Rati Agnihotri, Sanjeev Kapoor, Akashdeep Sahgal, Mahesh Manjrekar and Pooja Bedi jigged once again with their respective choreographers while Shweta and Mona danced their way into the hearts of millions of fans the world over. The country was in for a surprise as the hosts Parmeet Sethi and Archana Puran Singh announced the underdog Mona Singh as the winner of the cash prize of Rs 50 lakh while the super talented and much fancied Shweta Salve was left with tears in her eyes.

Mona riding high on her popularity with the masses owning to her super show ‘Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin’ had this to say, “I believe you should work as if you don’t need the money, love as if you have never been hurt and dance as if nobody is watching you.” Well said…

It was a grand ending of a show that caught the nation’s fancy and it was strange to notice that the winner’s name was announced on the national news channels as breaking news minutes after the formal announcement. Another very popular reality show ‘Sa Re Ga Ma L’ll Champs’ will have its finals today on Zee TV. IndiaGlitz will keep you informed about the winner soon….
