Dancer /Actor Shantanu Maheshwari is quite excited about his upcoming Colors dance reality show Jhalak Dikhaa Jaa. "I  am  very happy to have Jhalak as my first GEC  reality show . I  am also the first actor from the youth brigade to be  on  the show.”  Shantanu  was first noticed  in  Channel  V dance show Dil Dosti Dance(D3).  He also was part of the international dance show  Bindaas Naach. The  best part of  Jhalak's format is that you are not  rated on your  individual (each round )  performances per se, but  how much you have grown in your dance journey on the show.  We get to learn some much new . ”  

 

Here he adds that, “Being a dancer will make my Jhalak sojourn  a tad harder for knowing the craft the judges would expect much more in terms of visual differences in each round as compared to what a non dancer will be expected to deliver  week on week.”Among the various dance forms  on display Shantanu  considers Hip Hop his forte,“ And  I  find ball room dancing a challenge  as I have not done it before .”

Coming to his choreographer  Alisha he says, “ We have worked together in  D3  hence there is a certain comfort level  and we know each other’s strengths and weakness which should make our Jodi stronger on the dance floor.  I am confident that if I give my best  I have it  in me to go the whole hog.”Besides Jhalak Shantanu is also a part of  MTV fiction show Girls on Top. Although I will be open to fiction, but dance will remain my priority .”
